Abstract—This paper presents the design of classical Thai art
pattern using GSP for folk wisdom banana stalk carving. The
application of computer program is applied in Thai art pattern
design using the properties and principles of mathematics and
mathematical equations. GSP can help the creation of Thai art
pattern design for folk wisdom banana stalk carving with more
effective, less time consuming, more convenient, and more
accuracy. It requires very high skill to design the pattern
manually because it tends to distort easily. The art of banana
stalk carving has been a valuable Thai handicraft for
generations which needs to be preserved for the country’s
