Exterior view photograph. Thailand Pavilion exterior (lot C-470). The single storey Thailand Pavilion consisted of two separate buildings, both highly representative of the delicate and ornate architecture of the Orient. A replica of an 18th-century buddhist shrine was built in Thailand and reassembled in Montreal. Traditional Thai pagodas sat at each end of the shrine housing additional exhibition spaces. A large reflecting pond recreated the scenic beauty of the oriental landscape. Antiques as well as modern examples of Thailand were showcased in the exhibit. Ancient Thailand was represented throughout the exhibit with ancient statues adorned in traditional costume. A royal chariot and an elephant dressed for ancient war were both crowd favorites. Modern Thailand was portrayed through the use of fine art and handicrafts made with silver, gold, wood carvings. Silk garments and Thai jewellery were centerpieces on display. The export industry was represented with displays of rice, rubber, tapioca and forest products. Cylindrical Buddhist shrine adjacent to a rectangular volume pagoda with multileveled pitched roofs.
