The Design of the Thailand Pavilion
The Thailand Pavilion at the 2010 World Expo will feature elegant design motifs that are distinctively Thai, thereby emphasizing Thailand’s unique culture and artistry.

Guided by the concept of “Thai Perspectives”, the pavilion designers have incorporated interesting elements of the Thai lifestyle, as well as the country’s visually outstanding artistic and architectural expressions, into its spatial arrangement and overall structure. The result is well worth the effort. Without a doubt, even when viewed from the outside, the pavilion’s elegant form and finesse will do much to impart to the spectators the splendour of things Thai.

Exhibition Hall 1: A Journey of Harmony
Concept: The cycle of life by the water
Supporting themes:
“The perfect blend of cultures in a golden land”
“Journeys Back to Old Siam”
The first exhibition hall introduces visitors to the Thai way of life. Visitors will be invited to travel back in time to experience the lifestyle of early Siamese during their nascent statehood, and the melding together of peoples and cultures in this golden land. The exhibits will also tell the story of the Thais’ affinity with rivers and canals that provide nourishment and means of transport, and the cycle of life that flourishes beside these waterways.

Exhibition Hall 2: A Harmony of Different Tones
Concept: Trade and interaction with foreign states as impetus for development and progress
Supporting themes:
“Land of Ancient Civilizations”
“Rice Bowl of the World”
“Friendship across Borders”
“Centuries of Thai-Chinese Ties”
Hall 2 depicts the long-standing interaction between Thailand and other countries; including the former Imperial China and the China of today whose close relations with Thailand have led to the two being called “sibling states.” Exposure to traders from different lands led to the natural blending of indigenous Thai customs with the ways of the foreigners. Many such influences have become firmly embedded in the fabric of Siamese society and are now part of the lifestyle of modern Thais.
The exhibits also highlight the interaction between the urban and rural communities. Despite decades of intensive development and the apparent economic disparity between these sectors, Thai people everywhere always share a common trait: a love of peace and harmony, the unmistakable signature of being Thai.

Exhibition Hall 3: Happiness through Harmony
Concept: Sufficiency Philosophy as guiding light towards sustainable peace and harmony
“Life and Living in 21st Century Thailand”
“Happiness for All”
“The Monarch Who Points the Way to Happiness”
Hall 3 concludes the concept of our exhibition. Here, visitors will be shown the defining aspects of being Thai. Despite the veneer of technological sophistication and the international way of living that we have adopted, deep down in the soul of every Thai, we still value a life of simplicity that follows the idea of “sufficiency” in all things we do; for we believe it is the only true path that will lead to lasting happiness.
