Thai silk (Thai: ผ้าไหมไทย, RTGS: pha mai thai, pronounced[pʰâːmǎjtʰāj]) is produced from the cocoons of Thai silkworms. Thailand's silkworm farmers cultivate both types of the domesticated silkworms that produce commercial silk: Samia ricini, commonly known as the eri silkworm, which produces matte eri silk, and the Bombyx mori, producer of the better known, glossy mulberry silk.[1] The latter is by far the larger silk producer of the two.[2]
In Thailand, the Center for Excellence in Silk at Kasetsart University's Kamphaeng Saen campus plays a leading research role in sericulture research as well as providing silkworm eggs and know-how to Thai farmers.[1]
