Payaka's Natural dyeing was started to keep the earth clean. 

6-7 years ago, I started dyeing in a country side village at Chiang Mai, Northern Thailand.

This village has many sunny days and groundwater is rich in iron and rich in minerals and is suitable for plant dyeing.
We dye plants and plants throughout the village.The dye settles because it is dyed slowly and slowly over time

​

Thai friendly Mai and his staff. They are carefully dyed one by one. The climate, groundwater,

and the power of the wonderful staff are in harmony, I am always grateful for their help.

Choose an easy-to-dye fabric to eliminate uneven dyeing.
Put firewood into the fire and remove oil and dirt from the cloth by boiling it. 
Then soak with groundwater 

​

We make dyes with the help of nature such as leaf, trees, fruit, soil.

Natural dye that we made is slow process to dye in fabric.

We get the best soil (mud) from the mountains of the village and dissolve it in water.
The mud enters the gaps between the fibers of the dough, so it is harder to lose color than others.
