Nature inspired ancient Thai artists to created Thai art like "Kanok" in the picture. Kanok is one of the most difficult to draw it beautiful. My teacher draw kanok everyday for decade and still write it everytime they have times. In my opinion since those Thai art are close related to nature they also related to "golden ratio". Thai artist don't know about the golden ratio but they tried to copy the forms in nature.
This picture is the roof of a ghost house, which is a small house Thai people build for ghosts for living. I took this photo when I stucked in rain at my old school when I took photo there last week. When I took this photo an old woman came from nowhere and told me that I should stop photograph before the ghost in the house get anger. She told me that many people saw very beautiful woman ghost walk in and out from the tree beyond and sometime the ghost has dance in front of the tree. So they built the ghost house to pay respect to the spirit. I looked at the house after I heard the story and I said sorry to the ghost cause I didn't know about this story before. When I turned my face back the old woman she just adsent? She was very quick and come in very strange time I think. On Sunday there should no people in the school except the security guard. What a strange woman indeed :P

This Thai art created by Thai artist around 250 years ago. Thai art always related to budism and inspired by nature form. This one inspired by flowers and plant. The golden color is from the real gold but very slim plate of gold attached to the architecture or statues. But once in ancient Thailand around thousand years ago we have statues and architecture create from pure gold! But all of them robed and destroyed by war.
A replica in concrete of the 12th century Angkor Wat in Kampuchea was conceived by Rama IV in lieu of moving a stone Khmer temple to the Grand Palace. Completed in the reign of Rama V it stands as a hand-crafted miniature of a renowned architectural marvel.
The Phra Ubosot is constructed in the midst of a chest height boundary wall with eight double-sema boundary stones that mark a consecrated area and the double-sema boundary stones signify that the temple was constructed by a king. Built in accordance with traditional Thai style architecture with multi-tiered roofs of coloured tiles with finials, roof ridges, and lotus-captal pillars this building of brick and white washed plaster has exterior walls that are decorated with gilt and coloured glass mosaics fashioned into geometric patterns. The interior west wall above the doors is painted with the conception of Buddhist cosmology while the east wall depicts the scene of temptation and enlightenment of the Buddha. The south and north walls depicts episodes from the traditional life-story of the Buddha and below the windows on the south wall is a long mural of a rivereine procession of fanciful royal barges manned by diversely dressed oarsmen whereas the north wall depicts a land procession with persons of importance astride horses or on caparisoned elephants with armed personnel marching in rank and file formation. The base of the Ubosoth on the north and south side is decorated with 112 gilded bronze Garuda seizing 2 Naga by their tails while clutching their heads. Pairs of bronze Singha lions guard the 6 east and west doors that have door panels of expertly crafted mother-of-pearl inlay of gods and demons and mythical animals of the Himavamsa Forest in the heavenly abodes. The 9 mother-of-pearl inlay panels of the 9 north windows and 9 south windows have also been crafted to exacting standards.
The Grand Palace (Thai: พระบรมมหาราชวัง, RTGS: Phra Borom Maha Ratcha Wang[1]) is a complex of buildings at the heart of Bangkok, Thailand. The palace has been the official residence of the Kings of Siam (and later Thailand) since 1782. The king, his court and his royal government were based on the grounds of the palace until 1925. The present monarch, King Bhumibol Adulyadej (Rama IX), currently resides at Chitralada Palace, but the Grand Palace is still used for official events. Several royal ceremonies and state functions are held within the walls of the palace every year. The palace is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Thailand.

Commissioned from the artist by the Museum for the exhibition "Enfers and fantômes d'Asie" (2017). The Museum explains: Two buddhist monks have gone to hell after enriching themselves trading amulets and tattoos. They fight each other as hungry damned spirits. Anupong Chantorn uses monsters from hell imagery to criticise the commercial drift of contemporary religion, namely the amulet trade.
