The Tourism Authority of Thailand has introduced a cultural travel route connecting the Grand Palace to the Koh Kerd Arts and Crafts Center to honor Her Majesty Queen Sirikit the Queen Mother.
The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT), under the Ministry of Tourism and Sports, has officially launched a new cultural tourism route titled 'Koh Kerd Art, Land of Siam.' According to a report by Thai Post, this initiative is designed to connect the historic Grand Palace in Bangkok with the Koh Kerd Arts and Crafts Center.
This route was established to commemorate the birthday of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit the Queen Mother, which took place on August 12, 2026. The project aims to encourage both Thai citizens and international visitors to explore the artistic heritage and craftsmanship associated with the royal legacy.
For travelers and residents, this route offers a structured way to experience traditional Thai arts while moving between significant cultural landmarks. It provides an opportunity to engage with local craftsmanship in a setting that emphasizes historical and royal significance.
While the route is now open for public participation, specific details regarding guided tour schedules, transportation logistics between the two sites, and any potential entry fees for the arts center remain to be confirmed by the relevant authorities. Visitors interested in this experience are encouraged to monitor official TAT announcements for further updates on how to best navigate this new cultural path.
