Thailand prominently integrates its unique cultural identity, or "Thainess," into all aspects of APEC 2022, symbolized by the "chalom" logo, a bamboo basket representing unity, trade, and environmental balance.
Leaders and their spouses receive seven distinct, eco-friendly souvenirs, including recycled metal crafts and naturally dyed silk products, each embodying Thai heritage and the government's bio-circular-green (BCG) economic model.
Spouses of APEC leaders will experience traditional Thai art and craftsmanship at the Arts of the Kingdom Museum, showcasing intricate pieces like the Suphannabhetra and Sri Suphannahongse Royal Barge models.
