Elephants

Because of its significance, the elephant was declared the country's official national animal and was featured prominently on the country's flag for many years. In Thailand, elephants frequently serve as the inspiration for many events. They might also be found in really luxurious furnishings. Pillows, tapestries, statues, and much more all include elephants as a motif, and there are even temples devoted only to them.

Teak Wood

Almost every aspect of a home may be improved by adding a decorative teak wood element, including the structure itself, the windows, the doors, the appealing inside wainscoting, the furniture, and the flooring. As concerns about deforestation increased in Northern Thailand, the use of teak wood declined in popularity. In that country, teak was the wood of choice for everything of value. In both the 1970s and the 1980s, deforestation was a major issue due to high domestic demand and rising international demand. These goods are hard to get by since just around 17% of Thailand's original healthy forest exists. The government's plantings are an attempt to repopulate the depleted woodlands.

Spirit Houses

All around Thailand, you may notice Spirit House. The wooden constructions are a reflection of animist traditions and may be discovered in the unlikeliest of locations, from the busiest intersections in the nation's capital to forgotten neighborhoods in rural communities. Most spirit houses are constructed from wood, however, stone and concrete are sometimes used. Symbolic dwellings are often decorated with incense, candles, and flowers, and little sculptures of animals adorn the façade. The primary function of some Spirit Houses is simply to provide a safe haven for the spirits who frequent them. Some are simply stunning in their elaborate design. Many of them have brightly colored exteriors and intricate designs that make them resemble miniature temples.

Colorful Ceramics

The beautiful Benjarong and celadon ceramics made in Thailand are world-renowned. Producing celadon ceramics, with its jade-like green finish, dates to the Sukhothai era. It was first found in China over 2,000 years ago, but the technique wasn't refined until it arrived in Thailand. Gold leaf is a common decoration on hand-painted, high-quality Benjarong furniture. King Rama V is credited with instituting the custom.

Artist’s House

Baan Silapin, also known as Klong Bang Luang, is a 200-year-old house in Bangkok that rests on the banks of a murky Khlong (canal). The former Thai capital of Thonburi is now a traditional Thai house that serves as a hub for the city's creative class and as a destination for tourists interested in Thai culture. The home serves as a center for artistic endeavors, and that encompasses the home itself. The Artist's House is adorned with stained glass windows, vivid canvas shards, painted wooden furniture, and more, giving visitors a wealth of ideas to use in their own homes.
