The best description on the web of Isaan silk that I know of is on a Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) website that you can access by clicking the following:
Another illustrated article is Thai Village Economy Increased with Silky Smoothness by Irene Butler focuses on one Thai village; and an article titled Antique Thai Silk Textiles gets more detailed about the silk itself, much as did the TAT article.
Yet a further well-illustrated article that delves into the village scene is A Treasure of Northeastern Thailand: Weaving Villages.
The site Isaan Imports offers a little more about Isaan silk. Most oddly, though, I found at the time of making this post that their ‘Contact’ link does not work, and there is no order form or price list for the silk samples they profile.
Possibly the following slide-show will be of interest.
One Thai village appears to have gone global and is advertising its silk wares on the web — check it out at the logo below:
I think I could quite enjoy living in rural isaan thailand, lounging about in native silk garments. At any rate, I hope the links I have provided have helped offer a better understanding of what this region has to offer in the context of silk.
Thai Ikat Silk Weaving
Uploaded by ghmeck on Dec 3, 2008
Traditional Thai designs are woven into the fabric using the IKAT method. The design is not stamped onto the fabric after weaving. Designs are developed by binding specific sections of the silk prior to dyeing. Only the unbound sections receive the color. This process can be repeated to achieve more complex designs. After dyeing, only minor adjustments in the weaving are needed to develop the intended design.
