BANGKOK, 10 November 2026: Bangkok Airways has unveiled a new contemporary Thai uniform collection for its cabin crew to wear during major Thai festivals, starting with Loy Krathong on 24 November 2026.
Featuring designs and materials selected with environmental considerations in mind, the uniforms incorporate exquisite Pha Yok Dok brocade patterns from the Ban Hat Siaw community in Si Satchanalai District, Sukhothai Province, sharing the value of Thai traditional craftsmanship with passengers worldwide.
The designs incorporate nine traditional Pha Yok Dok weaving patterns unique to Ban Hat Siaw, making the uniforms more than just garments. They also share the stories and values of Thai traditional craftsmanship.
The Pha Yok Dok weaving patterns are: Khruea Noi, Khruea Klang, Khruea Yai, Mon Sip Hok, Sip Song Nuai Tat, Nam Ang, Song Thong, Paet Kho, and Si Kho. Each pattern has been carefully incorporated through thoughtful design and meticulous tailoring, reflecting the beauty of traditional motifs and the value of weaving knowledge passed down through generations. The Sathorn Gold Textile Museum in Sukhothai serves as a centre for collecting and preserving this valuable textile heritage.
