Ububanzi bombukiso buzothuthukiswa, bunwetshwe ngokufakwa komdwebo obonisa isigcawu se-Jataka esivela empilweni yangaphambili ka-Buddha kanye nencwadi yesandla enezithombe zombhuli. Isici esimangalisayo yibhande ledayimane elifakwe ngasekupheleni kwekhulu le-19 kanye nomgexo olengayo obolekwe emnyuziyamu ovela emndenini wasebukhosini baseThai futhi owawuphethwe yiNdlovukazi uSaowabha Pongsri, iNdlovukazi yeNkosi uRama 5th yaseThailand (1868-1910).
U-Elizabeth Moore onguchwepheshe kwezobuciko baseNingizimu-mpumalanga ye-Asia eSikoleni Sezifundo ZaseMpumalanga Nezase-Afrika e-London wayejabule kakhulu ngaleli qoqo. Uthe, "Umbukiso uguqula umbono wobuciko bakamuva baseThailand futhi ubonise ubudlelwano obude nobude nobuseduze bobukhosi nobuBuddha ezweni."
Lo mbukiso omusha uwumphumela wokusebenza kanzima cishe unyaka wonke ngemuva kwezigcawu zenxusa laseThailand eLondon, uKitty Wasinondh. Inxusa laqaphela ukuthi le ngcebo eyigugu ibilokhu ifadalala ezinqolobaneni ze-V&A futhi yanquma ukuthi kufanele kutholakale indlela yokwazisa lokhu emphakathini wase-UK. Wayezimisele ngokukhethekile ukuqinisekisa ukuthi ingcebo yasebukhosini eyivelakancane kufanele ifinyeleleke emphakathini unomphela. Ngoxhaso oluvela kuHulumeni wase-Thai, isibonisi sidalwe ukugubha usuku lokuzalwa lwe-Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej yase-Thailand. Ihlanganisa okokuqala ngqa imisebenzi ebaluleke kakhulu nemihle kakhulu yezithombe eziqoshiwe zase-Thai, imidwebo kanye nobuciko bokuhlobisa eqoqweni le-V&A.
Imvelaphi engokomlando yeqoqo le-V&A's Thai isekuthengweni okwenziwa kakhulu phakathi nenkathi esukela maphakathi ne-19th kuya ngasekupheleni kwekhulu lama-20. Ukuthengwa okubalulekile kwamuva nje kwezithombe eziqoshiwe zakuqala kanye nensimbi kusukela ekhulwini lesi-7 kuya kwelesi-9, kuhlanganise nezingcezu ezivela eqoqweni lika-Alexander Biancardi, kuye kwaqinisa nakakhulu lezi zibamba. Iqoqo liphinde lathuthukiswa eminyakeni embalwa edlule ngefa lezinto ebezingezika-Doris Duke, umqoqi wodumo waseMelika wobuciko beSouth East Asia.
Bhumibol, igama leNkosi, ngesiThai lisho “amandla omhlaba.” Njengoba iThailand ibhekene nokungaqiniseki kwezombusazwe ekhaya kanye nomthelela wokuntengantenga komnotho emhlabeni wonke abantu baseThailand baphendukela eNkosini ehlonishwayo ukuze ikhuthaze ukuzethemba futhi inikeze ukuzinza. Njengakwamanye amazwe, iThailand nayo ibhekene nenkinga yokuthi imboni yayo yezokuvakasha enenzuzo ingase ihlupheke. Njengoba imindeni yasebukhosini baseBrithani neyaseThailand inezixhumanisi ezibuyela emuva ezizukulwaneni ezimbalwa, inxusa laseThailand lithemba ukuthi ukuchayeka kwezobuciko bezwe lakubo kuzolinga izivakashi zaseBrithani ukuba zivakashele eThailand ukuze zibone okwengeziwe ngalokho izwe elingakunikeza.
