This is another recommended place to
admire exquisite Thai crafts. The result
of the Arts of the Kingdom V Exhibition
held in late December 2007 was very gratifying
with great acclaim from Thais and foreigners
alike. It displayed the masterpiece handiwork
created by members of agricultural families,
who learned Thai artistic skills from the
Chitralada Arts and Crafts Centre under
H.M. the Queen’s Royal Patronage.
Therefore, a permanent exhibition is
now held in the Ananta Samakhom Throne
Hall. Examples of the delicate works shown
here are the replicas of royal thrones
and barges. In addition, there are beautiful
embroidered screens and the replica of
the royal dinner table once used for receiving
the royal guests on King Bhumibol’s 60th
coronation anniversary on June 9, 2006.
Each piece of work has an English label
describing its details. English narration
with a headset is also available at 50
Baht.
After absorbing the beauty of all masterpieces,
you can visit the souvenir shop or sip
a cuppa and enjoy the spectacular view
of the Ananta Samakhom Throne Hall from
the coffee shop located in front of the
building. |
