BANGKOK, May 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Within just the first month of Expo 2025 in Osaka, Japan, the Thai Pavilion has welcomed over 200,000 visitors charmed by Thailand’s fusion of cutting-edge innovation and rich cultural heritage.
Visitors come to explore the Thai Pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka.
Located in the Connecting Lives Zone (A13), the Thai Pavilion quickly became one of the most-photographed spots at the Expo. The striking design optimizes a narrow, elongated space. A roof inspired by traditional Thai architecture forms half of a classic gable, while the neighboring glass-walled building completes the visual story. The architectural harmony symbolizes the pavilion’s theme—blending the old with the new.
“At Osaka Expo 2025, Thailand aims to showcase our exceptional potential and demonstrate our wisdom in shaping a better life and society. As such, our country will participate under the theme “Connecting Lives for Greatest Happiness”, showcasing how Thai happiness is deeply rooted in our way of life, culture, arts, wisdom, and—most importantly—our renowned hospitality.
To illustrate this, we will highlight Thailand’s expertise in healthcare services, which have evolved into a world-class Medical and Wellness Hub—a perfect blend of art and science. Our pavilion will showcase one of Thailand’s greatest Soft Power assets: the integration of medical service with Traditional Thai health and wellness practices. This will further demonstrate Thailand’s potential as a global leader in health and wellness, driving new economic opportunities for the country in both the short and long term,” said Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra.
