I live in Bangkok, Thailand. Well, I can’t remember
exactly how long I’ve been beading, but it should be
around 7-8 years now. My mum did all kinds of crafts
many years before me, including beading, and I believe
I received some of her skills. I am largely self taught. Of
course, my mom taught me beading, giving me a good
start.
Oh, and you can use my name or BeeJang. I am known
in the beading world as BeeJang. My first name is
Piratchada and last name is Thongra-ar. Most Thai
people don’t mind to be called by nick name since most
of our names are long, difficult to remember, and pronounce by foreigners.
