The Thai Human Imagery Museum is one of the many places that I would love to visit, but as for now their virtual reality tours 360-degree is the next best thing to being there in person. I think the Thais are very artistically talented; this is a great way to preserve their cultural heritage.

I believe that the Laotians are also very talented and we are preserving our cultural heritage in a different way, but I think many young people are losing interest in preserving the ancient tradition as modern civilization has been inching toward the material world, we stress more on show casing success that we simply forgotten about the average hard working people that are trying to do simple things to preserve our cultural heritage. If this kind of mindset continues, then our cultural heritage will be the thing of the past, I think the spot light needs to shine on the average hard working people, whether living in the US, Europe or Laos, they too make a difference.

Thai Human Imagery Museum is the first museum of fiberglass models in Thailand. It was born from spiritual power predestination of a group of creator leaded by Artist Duangkaew Phityakornsilp, with the objectives of promotion, propagation and conservation of Thai art, culture, and custom which will benefit the study and research of future generations.

The exhibition consists of various Thai history sets for example, The Royal Images of Chakri Dynasty Kings, The Enlightenment Monks, and King Rama V, The Great & Independence of Slaves. All models look authentic in every part of their bodies, skin, eyes, arms even hair.
