Bhubawit Kritpolnara, owner of top local fashion brand, Issue, together with Asst Prof Dr Anothai Cholachatpinyo of the department of Textile Science at Kasetsart University and actress Khemupsorn Sirisukha have been busy in recent weeks trying to solve the problem through the “Little Forest 2 – Check dam building” project, which pays tribute to the late King .

The campaign aims to prevent drought and flood in a number of provinces while supporting villagers residing near forests. Project components include improving the weaving skills in tin-chok production and the quality of orange seeds for better productivity while simultaneously creating awareness of the need to look after the forests and not allow further degradation.

Other well-known designers including Polpat Asavaprapha from Asava, Sirichai Daharanont from Theatre, Nut Mungkung from Kloset and Araya Indra from Art Araya, helped out by designing a special collection for an auction. The fund-raising event was attended by generous celebrities including Pimpan and Disara Diskul Na Ayudhya, Pinkamol Maleenont, Dr Janjira Janchom, Khanungnij Jaksamithanont, Warattya Nilkuha, Sririta Jensen, Sunisa Jett and Janesuda Parnto.
