Each proverb is interpreted with an abundance of vibrant pizzazz reflecting modern Thai culture. Under the direction of designer Tulaya Pornpiriyakulchai, sensational visuals have been provided by some of Thailand's leading contemporary artists from Manit Sriwanichpoom and Pinaree Sanpitak to Jakkai Siributr.
