'I was born in the province of Lampang, the gateway of northern Thailand. Later I worked in Bangkok and got married in 1994. We decided to move to the country after losing my job in the economic crisis of Thailand in 1997. My husband and I tried to get jobs there, but found nothing. We had no employment and no friends. I had to try to work with anything and turned to the thing I most preferred - the art of painting on cloth, which we call batik. But I didn't have the tools to make it. I wanted to buy some from Bali. I went to Jakarta and bought batik with almost all of the money saved over ten years. Then the opportunity arose. I do this work because of the happiness it brings me. I love it and hope that other people will love it as well.' What is Worldstock? The handcrafted nature of this product will produce minor differences in design and sizing.
