Saeng-da Bunsiddhi[lower-alpha 1] (Thai: แสงดา บันสิทธิ์; 14 April 1919 – 11 January 1993) was a Thai textile artist. Born in Chom Thong District, Chiang Mai, she learned the traditional craft of weaving during her childhood. After her husband died in 1960, Saeng-da started a weaving group by local women to produce and promote hand-made fabrics. She was named a National Artist in Visual Arts (Weaving) in 1986.[1] Her legacy is continued by the weaving group of Ban Rai Phai Ngam in Chom Thong and the Pa-Da Cotton Textile Museum located there.[2][3]
