Abstract
This article aimed to present the worth of Thai-Northern Khmer Silk through value-added creation based on the local wisdom of Thai-Northern Khmer Silk at Ban Phokong Village, Chuea Ploeng Sub-District, Prasat District, Surin Province. Through the research processes, the research team used a community-based research approach by creating a learning process and community participation through digital data collection activity and focus groups. The results of this research found that the value and beauty of silk appear in the production of complex styling and patterning processes, which require the skills, expertise, refinement, and delicacy of weavers. In addition, weaving was associated with beliefs, holiness, and rite, as well as showing the social status of wearers. These values were developed under the new context by using creative folklore from the performing arts of the grasshopper dance, integrating it with cultural products, and reproducing it with the latest aim of creating higher added value and presenting the identity and pride of their ethnic groups.
