ThailandRyan Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 So if I get the new symbol tattooed on my forehead, will I get free entry into the National parks, Zoos, and better yet Thailand. Where is the QR Code, is it embedded in the picture somewhere. 50 minutes ago, rooster59 said: Detailed designs on the elephant highlight Thailand’s tradition of carefully made art, and by extension all the nation’s traditions and cultures, which are derived from the country’s gentle nature.

Popular Post mtls2005 Posted February 14, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 14, 2021 So one trunk is bad. Five trunks is good? Or is the hieght of the trunk an indication of quality?

Popular Post RickBradford Posted February 14, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 14, 2021 These people suffer from a cargo cult mentality. They create the facade of standards with these documents, and then expect standards to magically rise in accordance with what is written in the documents. More make-work for bureaucrats, I guess. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The colors on the elephant reflect modernity, plentifulness, peace, comfort, strength and simplicity. not very detailed, as there are just 8 very simple lines. Those lines are all in black. if "simplicity" (which it clearly is) than not "detailed" - contradiction. I can't see any plentifulness and comfort - but probably they have meant tourist establishments, like hotels and restaurants, would have this values Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tingtong Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Elephants with tourists on the back aren't really happy sites...but common. With current world preferences, after the coconut picked by monkeys scandal on the West... Thailand should be better off with ????+ palm tree probably...less likely to be attacked out, and need to change at extra cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
