These ten categories are painting, lacquering, carving on hard objects, carving on soft objects, modeling, padding, lathing, casting, sculpturing and plastering. Over the past few years, the number of craftsmen has been continuously decreasing, but with the tremendous support from Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn, the Royal Craftsmen College, situated in the Grand Palace, has been set up to teach those interested to learn these endangered craft disciplines, and to preserve it as part of the country's cultural heritage.

Chang Sip Mu - Drawing and Painting Classical Thai painting was confined to temple and palace interiors and book illustrations. Mural painting was developed to a high degree in the belief that walls should enhance the beauty of the religious and royal objects they surrounded. Traditional Thai painting was typically Asian in that conventional perspective was ignored and figures were large or small depending on their importance. Shadows were unknown and space was neutral rather than atmospheric. source : mahidol.ac.th show : thai carving
