I came from a family of seamstress and for us to have a fascination for silk fabric is not surprising at all, my oldest sister loves silk fabric, but I believed she is more familiar with the Thai silk than the Lao silk, I think Lao textiles are no less beautiful than the Thai textiles.
I recently learned about a company that manufactured Lao textiles through the Today Show called Ock Pop Tok, means East meets West. From their website, Lao textiles are still used in many aspects of daily life from ceremonies to the household such as,
- Pha Bieng Scarf for the upper body (used by Buddhists)
- Pha Hom Blanket
- Pha Sabai Healing cloth
- Sihn Skirts
- Pha Phok Long Funeral cloth
- Pha Kaan Head cloth
- Pha Phii Mon Shaman Cloth
- Pha Mong Mosquito net decoration
- Pha Khan Mon A love gift handkerchief
- Pha Tung Prayer Flag
What I find fascinating is their ‘Silkworms & Natural Dyes Workshop, Dye your own Scarf,’ this is on my to-do list if I’m ever in that area and if time permits. Below is the agenda for the workshop, and I found photos by annamatic3000, Anna Lee who took the class during her visit to Laos,
Spend the afternoon in a stunning Mekong riverside garden. Prepare natural dyes and dye your own silk scarf. The workshop looks at silkworms, natural dyes and weaving techniques. The afternoon’s programme is interactive and full of fascinating information; a unique and entertaining opportunity to learn about silk dyeing & weaving.
Meet the silkworms. First there is an explanation about the worms’ lives; where they come from, who makes silk in Laos and a bizarre list of facts regarding sericulture. Guests are invited to prepare mulberry leaves and feed the worms.
Below are the mulberry trees on a misty morning Vangviang Organic Farm, Laos. The mulberry trees provide leaves to feed to the silk worms, plus mulberry tea, mulberry wine, and mulberry shakes.
Dye your own scarf with a natural dye. After a brief introduction to the natural dyes, guests are invited to prepare a dye source. Indigo – green, turmeric – yellow, sappan – pink or purple, lemongrass – light yellow, annatto – monk robe orange, indigo paste – blue. After preparing the dye source white scarves are dyed in the chosen colours.
Below are Turmeric (yellow), Annatto seeds (monk robe orange), Indigo leaves (blue green), and Sappan wood (purple)
Sretsis - Tent @ Central World, March 23, 2008, 21.00
English review for this post courtesy of ThaiCatwalk.com: Inspired by a century old Thai tradition, the Sretsis “Mon-Sun” collection celebrates the whimsical thrill of finding the perfect outfit for every day. According to Thai custom, it is considered good luck to dress in the designated color of the day of the week. Whilst “Mon-Sun” is not so strictly color-coded, the collection takes a playful approach to outfitting for any occasion, whatever the week may bring.
The collection’s seven traditional base colors - yellow, pink, green, orange, blue, purple, red - are set against Pim Sukhahuta’s sharp prints in silk chiffon, soft cotton knits, seersucker and silk twill, from the freehand fractured, crystalline roses in Rose Storm print to Macles, a rough diamond print.
In the spirit of effortless perfection in dressing, the collection is comprised of pieces that are as wearable as they are versatile. Mix-and-Matchable pieces and details like reversibility enable the kind of surprising pairings that make Sretsis Spring/Summer 2008 collection truly “Mon-Sun”
Jewelries: Matina Amanita for Sretsis
Bags: Painkiller Mademoiselle exclusively at Sretsis

For lips, light tone lip gloss or lip shear in pink, orange or plum as well as the pink red palette are trendy colors this summer. Sherry red goes well with fair skin while reddish orange suits tan skin and dark red for dark brown skin.

As for the Signature Collection of Zenithorial by designer Adisak Rojsiriphan, he sums up his collection in 3 simple words, Smart, Simple, and Timeless. This collection has a classic elegant timeless look, simple but unique in his style because he is not following the current fashion trend, but definitely not old fashion, therefore it’s very popular amongst consumers of various age groups.

If he looks familiar, that’s because I wrote about Danny at Laovoices.com on a post called Sexy Young Asian Model, and still holds true and now Danny Bunyavong is on the cover of VOLUME, a Thai English magazine with sexy Thai model, โอเด็ต (Odit) เฮนเรียต แจ๊คโคมิน. Source.
Below are photos of Danny, which was taken by a photographer in Thailand, August 2007.
In Chinese culture, certain numbers, 6, 8, and 9 are believed to have auspicious meanings because their names sound similar to words that have positive meanings. The word for eight in Chinese (Pinyin: bā) sounds similar to the word which means prosper or wealth. In regional dialects, the words for eight and fortune are also similar, eg Cantonese “baat” and “faat.”
There is also a resemblance between two digits, “88,” and the Shuang xi (double joy), a popular decorative design composed of two stylized characters (xi, ‘joy’, ‘happiness’).
The Summer Olympics in Beijing are scheduled to open on 8/8/08 at 8:08:08 p.m.
According to Buddhism, the Wheel of the Law is one of the many signs or symbols that are holy to Buddhists because they stand for our religion and make us think of its teachings when we see any of these symbols. The wheel has 8 spokes, which are the rules of pure conduct (the Eightfold Path, Right Understanding, Right Aims, Right Speech, Right Actions, Right Livelihood, Right Effort, Right Mindfulness, Right Meditation) the equal length of all the spokes represent justice; wisdom is the tire, the hub is thoughtfulness and the axle is the immovable truth.
With all this explanation about number 8, Bob’s comment of wanting to see the strange photos that I received from my oldest sister is comment 888, lucky you, here are the photos, very twisted indeed…just like number 8, auspicious 8 that is.
