✨ Royal Elegance in Chud Thai Chakri: A Proud Moment as UNESCO Confirms Consideration of Thailand’s Chud Thai Nomination

Her Royal Highness Princess Sirivannavari Nariratana Rajakanya looks resplendent in “Chud Thai Chakri,” one of the eight styles of Chud Thai Phra Rajaniyom (Thai Royally-Favored Costume). The exquisite attire embodies the distinctive elegance of traditional Thai dress, reflecting the enduring value of Thailand’s cultural knowledge and craftsmanship that have been preserved and passed down through generations.

💙 Join in celebrating another significant milestone for “Chud Thai” on the global stage. Thailand has received confirmation from the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) that the nomination of "Chud Thai: knowledge, craftsmanship and practices of the Thai national costume" will be considered for inscription on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity at the 21st session of the Intergovernmental Committee for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage, scheduled to take place from 30 November to 5 December 2026 in Xiamen, People’s Republic of China.

✨ Let us take pride in the timeless elegance of Chud Thai, a treasured expression of Thailand’s cultural heritage and traditional wisdom, while joining together to preserve, promote, and share the unique beauty of Thai national attire with the world.
