Description:
"Le Pavillon de la Thailande à l'Expo 67 / Le pavillon de la Thaïlande comprend deux édifices, dont la réplique d'un temple bouddhique d'environ 80 pieds de hauteur. Construit par des artisans thaïlandais à Bangkok même, ce somptueux palais doré a été assemblé dans l'ïle [sic] Notre-Dame. L'ensemble du pavillon comporte en outre un bâtiment cruciforme de même inspiration, quoique de style plus moderne, à l'intérieur duquel on a aménagé un restaurant et une salle d'exposition. En contrebas du pavillon, les visiteurs peuvent admirer une réplique de la célèbre barque royale ancrée dans une pièce d'eau. / Thailand Pavilion at Expo '67 / The main building of the Thailand pavilion is a fine reproduction of an 18th century Buddhist Shrine with a roof of gilded tiles and a towering spire. Both ancient and modern Thailand have their place in the display, and there are exhibits of fine art, handicrafts and other aspects of the culture of the country."--Description.
