Abstract

This article aims to study the cultural capital of the indigo dyeing community of Ban Nong Khrong, Don Kloy, Kham Kha and Oun Dong, Phannanikhom District, Sakon Nakhon Province, Thailand. This is developed as a creative cultural tourism village, obtained from the collected cultural capital data, consisting of the social and cultural context of the indigo dyeing cloth community through participation observation, in-depth interviews, group discussions and experimentation with the key informants in order to find out the ways for developing into a cultural community for sustainable tourism. The study found that there was cultural capital in this community, characterized by indigo dyed cotton weaving, which is a factor that affects the income of people in the community. Most of the inhabitants in Ban Nong Khrong, Don Kloy, Kham Kha and Oun Dong inherited this indigo cloth weaving and dying wisdom from their ancestors. The study also attempts to create more value by adding cultural capital and wisdom of Phu Tai ethnic identity and indigo dyed textiles as a representation of cultural tourism community, by using the community presentation model with creative tourism activities such as dyeing, weaving and local cooking. These activities create a shared experience for tourist’s participatory learning about the cultural capital and wisdom of the Phu Tai community.
