Thai silk is produced mainly in Khorat, Thailand where silkworms are raised on mulberry leaves. Traditional weaving techniques in Cambodia include ikat, where threads are tie-dyed before weaving to create patterns, and uneven twill weaves that produce single or two-color fabrics. In Laos, women's skirts called sihn feature unique patterns representing symbols like crabs for resourcefulness. Batik fabric made using resist dyeing is common in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore, and can be made through hand painting or block printing.
