Sinsai art plays an important role for local art and be the identity of Khonkaen art style. The areas of this research are in Muang Khonkaen, Sawathi village and Khonkaen University. The correct data by observation and in-depth interview.
The researcher is searching for the art as the identity of the town and the repeating from the study, we found that Khonkaen is on the process of finding their own identity, so they express their identity through tradition that can be found in local called SinSai literature. Fortunately, Sinsai literature is perfect by itself. It has all what the art should be. The literature of Sinsai has been presented by Huptam art through painting around the wall of Chaisri temple where is located in Sawathi, T. Sawathi, A. Muang, Khonkaen, since then the Saisin literature has spread to all over Munag Khonkaen’s tradition, it let us know that Sinsai art has been with Khonkaen people for long time. When we try to put Sinsai art to be the identity of Khonkaen’s art through studying, telling and spreading, it spreads out more kind of patterns to people in society. Especially when they are decorated on electric posts on Main Street around Muang Khonkaen to show how the Sinsai literature is and to let people learn the history of them. When people learn what Sinsai art is, we believe that people will get a lot of knowledge from it, not only they will get to know about the art and history is, but they will also build their own identity to behave themselves in a good way in their life.
