Prince Nithakhong Somsanith is not your typical prince. He is one of the last gold thread embroiderers in the ancient tradition of the court of Luang Prabang, former kingdom of Laos.This art and its techniques used to be passed on from one generation to the next, from mother to daughter of noble birth. Prince Somsanith started his apprenticeship at an early age from his grandmother, with whom he spent time during hot summer days. It was there that he was introduced to and helped with intricate and tedious embroidery tasks.
