Work Showcasing Thai Cultural Identity
"The work we create has contemporary Thai characteristics - graphic design work that integrates Thai cultural identity, such as graphic patterns drawn from traditional arts and folk arts, adapted for use in contemporary graphic formats, making them suitable for modern consumer tastes without losing Thai essence. The distinctiveness in function and aesthetics is not only artistically beautiful but also considers the practical use of packaging, such as clear product information communication, color selection, shapes, and elements that help products have a premium image and clearly reach target groups."
And Professor Suthee Sertsri, lecturer in the Department of Hotel Management, Faculty of Humanities and Tourism Management, received the Rajamangala Sarn Soem award for Buddhist Year 2568 (2025) in the general public category, Culture field, Knowledge and Practices concerning Nature.
From Work Integrating Wisdom with Society
"For the work that earned the award in culture, knowledge and practices concerning nature, it must be empirical work that can integrate with communities, society, and agencies related to culture, with great importance to the cultural sector in terms of conservation, dissemination, or even preserving traditional wisdom in the field to remain with the nation. This award is the highest honor of life and family, a reward that motivates continued cultural work with communities, society, and cultural-related agencies."
