At the World Expo 2025 in Osaka, the Thailand Pavilion stands out as a serene and captivating testament to the kingdom’s deep-rooted wisdom and forward-thinking innovations.

Developed under the guiding theme, “Thailand Connecting Lives for Greatest Happiness,” the pavilion is located in the Connecting Lives zone, echoing Expo 2025’s broader mission to envision a future society built on health, well-being, and mutual understanding.

The Ministry of Public Health, entrusted with the development and implementation of the national pavilion, has brought to life a space that celebrates Thailand’s contributions to global wellness and sustainable living.

With the concept of “Bhumi” — representing land, heritage, and vitality — the pavilion invites visitors to explore a multisensory journey through Thai traditions, health solutions, and cultural beauty.

A journey into the “Land of Immunity”

The architectural centerpiece of the Thai Pavilion, named “VIMANA THAI,” is inspired by traditional Thai design, seamlessly fused with contemporary construction for energy efficiency and sustainability. Featuring a striking high-slope Chom Hae roof and rattan-patterned motifs, the structure symbolizes the interweaving of Thai beliefs and practical wisdom, providing a peaceful and welcoming environment.

The core exhibition is themed “Immunity” — not only in a biological sense but as a holistic concept of resilience, encompassing physical health, mental well-being, and community harmony. The experience begins in a tranquil courtyard surrounded by medicinal herbs and native plants, transitioning into a series of immersive displays that showcase Thailand’s national strengths.

Visitors can explore curated zones that highlight everything from child vaccination programs and nutrition education to innovations in traditional Thai medicine, public hygiene, and quality of life promotion.

Culture meets innovation

Thailand’s rich culture is presented in a format that is both engaging and enlightening. Visitors are encouraged to participate in hands-on workshops, try authentic Thai cuisine, and browse artisanal souvenirs — all designed to reflect the nation’s vibrant identity. The pavilion also features a showcase of Thai wellness tourism, including demonstrations of traditional Thai massage and spa therapies, recognized the world over for their healing benefits.

The building’s layout, meanwhile, enhances visitor flow, guiding guests from outdoor serenity into curated interior zones and onward to the Forest of Tranquility — a lush, green space at the heart of the Expo grounds, reinforcing the pavilion’s theme of harmony with nature.

A platform for global connection

The Thailand Pavilion does more than showcase national achievements, offering a platform for international collaboration. From business networking events to cultural exchanges, the space is designed to foster meaningful connections that support sustainable development and global well-being.

With around 10,000 visitors attending daily, the pavilion has become a hub of interest and appreciation, sparking curiosity and admiration across social media and news platforms. It’s a proud representation of how Thailand’s heritage can be a source of inspiration for the future.

As the world looks ahead to a healthier and more interconnected future, Thailand’s contribution to Expo 2025 reminds us that wisdom, when shared across borders, can help ensure the greatest happiness.
