For the first stop, the delegation visited Ko Yo sub-district, Mueang district, Songkhla province, to tour Wat Laem Pho and pay respects to the reclining Buddha, a major landmark of Ko Yo, while experiencing local community products.
The delegation then visited the Ko Yo weaving learning center at Wat Khok Pieu to learn about the preservation and promotion of Ko Yo weaving wisdom into cultural products and community creative economy.
Government mobile press trips ahead of official mobile Cabinet meetings serve as a key mechanism for communicating public policies down to local levels, particularly highlighting cultural capital such as Ko Yo weaving to foster a creative economy, boost cultural tourism, and generate sustainable community income under grassroots economic policies.
Such development approaches align with the creative economy concept, which focuses on utilizing cultural capital, wisdom, and local identity to add economic value while preserving cultural roots, ensuring that Ko Yo weaving wisdom is continuously inherited and sustainably developed.
