There are 2 schools of traditional Thai gold craftsmanship:
Petchburi and Sukhothai. The works of Petchburi craftmen feature delicate
gold wires entwined to form patterns imitating nature in the form of pine
cones, bebjamas, lotus and pikun flowers, cotton leaves and patterns of
the hours.
Sukhothai gold ornaments have been inspired by the
Thai way of life, nature, and architecture from inlaid works.

which is one of the most distinctive features of Thai gold jewelry.
