"Yorn Roi Bag" winning a Gold Medal in Shanghai

Great news and immeasurable pride reverberate from Shanghai, China, as Nan’s creative city extends its heartfelt congratulations to Ms. Aiyada Homdok, a second-year vocational certificate student from Kanchanapisek College of Fine Arts (under Doi Silver Factory). She has made history by winning a global gold medal for her outstanding creation, the "Yorn Roi Bag" ( Greater club rush Bag with Sterling Silver Engraving), at the 8th China Shanghai International Invention & Innovation Expo 2025.

This outstanding achievement builds upon the national gold medal previously awarded to the "Yorn Roi Bag," underscoring Nan’s youth’s limitless potential and creativity, especially students from Kanchanapisek College of Fine Arts, supported by the mentorship of Doi Silver.

As Pimpaworn Roongrachatawanich, a co-founder of Doi Silver, beautifully articulated: "Greater club rush from the peak of  Phu Fah Mountain, silver adornments from Doi Silver, blended by Nong Ploy, a student from Phukha Wittayakhom School, continuing her silversmithing studies at Kanchanapisek College of Fine Arts, supported by the Doi Silver Company." This sentiment perfectly encapsulates the essence of the award-winning piece.

The "Yorn Roi Bag" is far more than an accessory; it is a profound work of art that seamlessly integrates the local wisdom of Nan province. By meticulously weaving "triangle grass," a native plant, with the exquisite craftsmanship of "sterling silver engraving," this creation achieves a congruent balance. The bag not only captivates with its beauty but also promotes the value of local materials and traditional artisanal skills to a global stage.

Such success would not have been possible without the invaluable support from all those involved, particularly Mr. Phaiwet Wangbon, the principal advisor; the management team from the Doi Silver Factory; and the advisory teachers at Doi Silver. Crucially, the unwavering dedication of Ms. Aiyada Homdok, the creator, has been a fountain of inspiration and a commendable role model for younger generations. Furthermore, the collaborative efforts of Ms. Chaowaphan Rungrachatawanich, a special lecturer in the dual-vocational system at Doi Silver and a fifth-generation heir of Doi Silver Factory Co., Ltd., were instrumental in bringing this masterpiece to life.

This international accolade undeniably affirms that "Doi Silver" is not merely a producer of silver products but a vibrant hub for learning, fostering creativity, and championing local cultural heritage to the world. We commend this magnificent accomplishment and extend our continued encouragement to Doi Silver and all its talented students to continue producing works of global standard, thereby bringing enduring prestige to Nan province on the world stage.
