Besides passing on stucco art skills to his young and adult students to preserve the Thai art, Thongruang also uses his unique work to do the same job. He creates uniqueness in his work to convey his views on Thai politics and more importantly, to attract people.

His work depicts incidents in the history of Thai politics, and sometimes mythical creatures at the pedestals of Buddha images are replaced by politician's faces.

Thongruang Em-oat, stucco artist said "Stucco work was limited in the temple society with only monks and stucco workers. When my work features something related to issues of interest, people pay attention to my work and also."

Thongruang is not the only person who is trying to preserve the stucco art. Sombat Poonkerd is another stucco artist in Phetchburi, and also an art teacher in schools and a prison.

Sombat doesn't use politics to promote the art but he has his own way of making young people interested in the work.

Sombat Poonkerd, stucco artist said "I teach my young students to do easy stucco sculptures like cartoons or animals first. When my students develop their skills, I'll start  to teach them intricate designs of Thai patterns."

With the attempt of at least these two stucco artists to conserve ancient Thai art, it's believed stucco work will remain in Thai society as long as more young people are  interested in learning Thai arts.
