INTRODUCTION The country development of Thailand in the past was the development according to the concept of mainstream development as worldwide countries that emphasized economic development. There were several productive factors and one important of all was humans, the mainstream development defined humans as human resources that was a kind of resource as other resources and was useful for enhancing economic and social growth. Silk-cloth weaving was the culture and a very important base of basic living of the Mon-Khmer ethnic group. It was an important occupation that was put order into the second next to agriculture. Formerly, silk-cloth weaving was not a distinguished occupation because it just a supplement activity for enhancing more income for family. Afterwards, the people appreciated and developed it from household-use production to commercial production thus silk-cloth weaving that was the Local handicraft and indigenous knowledge became a recognizable occupation. At present, there are the changes both economic and social changes. Silk-cloth weaving changes its social role and social value from producing for cultural value or local identity to producing for occupation or income both supplement and main occupations. Moreover, folk-silk cloth products are outstanding products which have a chance to distribute to worldwide markets both domestic and foreign markets. Both government and non-government organizations encourage the people to weave silk clothes for enhancing income but their encouragements lack the continuous operation and lack a clearly direction so silk-cloth weaving cannot develop to a sustainable occupation with economic potential of community. They just persuade the people to maintain continuously traditional silk-cloth weaving as a cultural heritage of Lower-Isan.
