Although the world and society have made significant advancements in knowledge, technology, and innovation, creating a digital society and a new identity for the modern era, the foundation of progress and civilization in the past remains embedded in society through national arts. The preservation of Thai arts and wisdom reflects the national identity and local art forms that represent culture and way of life, influenced by changes in society, religion, and the economy. These have been passed down through creative thinking and craftsmanship, showcasing beautiful artworks that express cultural uniqueness and the civilization of society. Furthermore, craftsmanship is connected to the development of lifestyles through the creation of practical and ornamental products, such as handcrafted goods, tools, and jewelry, used in daily life. Today, these traditional crafts are valued economically and culturally, as products that embody local culture, art, and lifestyles. This wisdom has been preserved and transmitted as a cultural heritage, contributing to the creative economy by transforming valuable cultural and artistic resources into economic value through policies supporting the Creative and Cultural Economy. This approach is part of a new economic system that links historical, cultural, technological, and modern innovative foundations to create new products and services, thereby enhancing economic value and social benefits. The Thailand Professional Qualification Institute (Public Organization) recognizes the importance of professional work and is committed to contributing to social responsibility by preserving cultural heritage for future generations, while fostering and promoting sustainable cultural development. Despite the impact of the pandemic on global lifestyles, society continues to move forward, and Thai art and culture must remain a vital force, benefiting Thailand's economy sustainably.
