Abstract

This research aims to (1) study the plant resources within the Phawa subdistrict that provide natural dyes, with the intention of developing products for the Phawa Community agroforestry enterprise group in Chanthaburi Province, and (2) establish a community resource-based dye database to support the development of local products or communitydriven tourism activities within Phawa Subdistrict, Kaeng Hang Maeo District, Chanthaburi Province. This research employs a mixed-methods approach, combining participatory experimental research and qualitative research. Both primary and secondary data were collected through group discussions, experimental trials on using local plant resources for natural dyeing, and the development of products rooted in the local area. The study findings include a database of 25 dye-producing plant species identified in the community forest and local areas. Training sessions were held to test colors and shades produced with various mordants, leading to the selection of three plant species for natural dye experiments: Phawa, mangosteen, and madan. Results showed that Phawa and madan leaves produce a yellow dye, while mangosteen provides a pinkish-purple shade. Color intensity varies with different mordants, with alum and salt yielding the most vibrant colors across all plants. Community members were trained in shibori tie-dye techniques and leaf printing on products using eco-print techniques. Satisfaction surveys indicated positive feedback, with two community members incorporating the dyeing techniques into product creation, while others planned to use natural dyes for clothing refurbishment to reduce expenses on new items. Additionally, natural dyeing based on community resources was used to create packaging for turmeric soap, enhancing the product's appeal. However, the Community Agroforestry Enterprise Group still lacks sufficient funding for product development. It is recommended that the group proposes new product development initiatives to relevant government agencies to support income generation for the Phawa community agroforestry enterprise group in the future.
