Summary

AI-based techniques show promise for preserving and innovating traditional Thai motifs, Ban Chiang and Sangkhalok. Image fusion effectively generated Ban Chiang motifs with minimal computational resources, while Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) fine-tuning enhanced Sangkhalok motifs by introducing modern features. The study found that blending abstract Ban Chiang qualities with representational Sangkhalok styles improved motif integration and creativity, although challenges like color accuracy control were noted. This research highlights AI's potential as a tool for cultural preservation and artistic innovation, emphasizing the need for further refinement in achieving precise blending of artistic forms.
