The Royal Thai Embassy and the Office of TAT in Prague proudly took part in the Flora Olomouc International Horticultural Exhibition, held from 20 to 23 April 2017 in Olomouc. The Embassy actively supported the Exhibition in organizing the Thai Pavilion and Thai exhibition area.
The Thai exhibition area and programmes were very popular among the visitors, including the decoration of the Thai Pavilion, the exhibition of fresh orchids, cultural artefacts, scenic pictures of Thailand, Thai orchid photos, cultural performances, and especially, the paper umbrella painting demonstration. Moreover, the Embassy also took this opportunity to showcase the delicate Thai cuisine, in order to widely promote it to our friends in Olomouc, which is one of the biggest regions in the country.
