A special exhibition highlighting Thailand’s traditional national dress, Chud Thai, has opened at the National Museum of Korea, offering visitors a chance to explore the elegance of Thai fashion alongside the launch of the museum’s Amazing Thailand: Masterpieces of Thai Art exhibition.
According to the museum, the display features a collection of Chud Thai costumes that showcase the harmony between Thailand’s traditional craftsmanship and contemporary aesthetics. The exhibition aims to introduce Korean visitors to the cultural significance and artistic beauty of Thai attire, which has become one of the country’s most recognisable cultural symbols.
The museum noted that Thailand’s modern national dress was revitalised in the 1960s under the patronage of Queen Sirikit. The redesigned costumes have since come to represent Thai identity on the international stage and are frequently worn at official ceremonies and cultural events.
The Chud Thai exhibition is being held in the Grand Hall of the National Museum of Korea’s permanent exhibition building from 22 June to 16 July, coinciding with the special exhibition Amazing Thailand: Masterpieces of Thai Art. Visitors are invited to experience the blend of traditional Thai elegance and modern design through the colourful display of royal-inspired attire.
