CMU partners with Siam Piwat to unveil “Ma Neua MAKE” and propel “Creative Lanna” crafts to the global market
Chiang Mai University (CMU) and Siam Piwat Co., Ltd., a leading real estate and retail developer behind Thailand’s global landmarks such as Siam Paragon, Siam Center, Siam Discovery, ICONSIAM, and Siam Premium Outlets Bangkok, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to launch “Ma Nuea MAKE” – an inspirational space rooted in local wisdom. Under this initiative, whose name is a play on word meaning “superior” and doubles as an invitation to come to the north of Thailand to see its crafts, the two organizations will collaborate to elevate Lanna heritage and develop the capabilities of small-scale entrepreneurs in Northern Thailand, thus enabling them to propel their products to the global market through the ICONCRAFT platform, a key initiative managed by ICONSIAM. The signing ceremony took place at ICONSIAM, Bangkok, on June 17, 2025.
