Pornsak “Sak” Chaisaeng, who is from Laos, has spent the last few years learning about art and design from Kiatparkpoom. He has worked on several projects, including the Icon Siam pavilion, with her.
Chaisaeng said: “Most of the time, this kind of work is done by people who have studied art. I actually came to Thailand to pick up skills like these, so when I contribute to such creations, I feel a sense of satisfaction that I played a part in making art.”
It is in fact one of Pin’s main motivations to offer such valuable opportunities to her artisans. Emphasising the importance of collaboration, she said: “What I want to pass on to other people is that no matter what activity you are doing or what business you are running, you can make a positive impact. You can go fast alone, or you can choose to go far together and it will be more sustainable and fun that way.”
