Highlights of ICONSIAM THAICONIC LOY KRATHONG

Eco-Friendly International Krathong Exhibition Inspired by 15 Embassies

The "International Krathong Exhibition" showcases krathong designs from 15 countries, to connect Thai traditions with diverse cultures of other countries by conveying the distinctive identity stories inspired by various embassies through Thai Krathongs. The "International Krathong Exhibition" is being held for the 6th consecutive year and invites embassies from 15 countries: Chile, People's Republic of China, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Peru, Portugal, Philippines, United States, France, Republic of Korea, Mexico, Nepal, and Vietnam to join in creating ideas to convey arts, culture, traditions, and history under the concept of Upcycled Kratong or eco-friendly Krathongs. These Krathongs are created by students from various institutions, and talented Thai artists. Almost every component is made from various types of waste materials from ICONSIAM's 360 Waste Journey to Zero Waste project, which are recycled and upcycled, creating works of art for the public to admire from November 2-17, 2024 at ICONLUXE, M floor, ICONSIAM.
