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.
