Since the early days, Thais are bored by the mundane and strive to transform even the most ordinary object into a work of art. This sensibility can be seen in something as spectacular as the glittering Wat Phra Kaew (Temple of the Emerald Buddha) or as practical as a farmhouse water dipper with a coconut shell bowl and an ornately-carved handle.
It's arts and crafts are devoted primarily to a veneration of Buddha and tribute to Monarch. In most instances, architecture means temples, sculpture of Buddha, and painting refers to temple wall painting relating the story of Buddha's life. On the other hand, ideal royal lifestyle is depicted in the design of palaces, royal cuisine, royal ceremony, royal emblem, and royal utensils. While many of its arts--woodcarving, silver and gold crafting, lacquerware--were originally perfected for religious and noble purposes, over the years they have adapted such skill to create ornament and jewelry.
Gems and jewelry produced in Thailand is no doubt artistic in nature. This is why many brand name jewelries of the world that emphasizes design and uniqueness are manufactured in Thailand, and resell in Milan, Tokyo, New York, London, and Hong Kong.
