Thai wood carving, a traditional artwork, is highly regarded for its intricate details and delicate craftsmanship. Arts related to wood carving are called ‘Kruang Mai Cham Lak.’

This artform in Thailand originated from the temples where religious objects such as Buddha images and pulpits were finely carved. Royal regalia for the court and household objects used by the nobility were also decorated with carvings. In temples, the doors, shutters, gables and triangular brackets supporting the overhanging roofs were often intricately carved with motifs.

The meticulous process requires skilled artisans to select appropriate wood, sketch designs, shape the wood with various tools and apply finishing techniques. Thai wood carving represents elements of Thai culture, lifestyle and local wisdom. The artform has been passed on through generations with young artisans learning from their elders.
