Fifty photographs taken by Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn highlight development initiatives and the work of the Chaipattana Foundation at the Sustainability Expo 2026 (SX2026).
Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn has graciously granted permission to Thai Beverage Plc to present an exhibition of 50 photographs taken by Her Royal Highness during royal duties across Thailand. The collection, featuring development-related subjects and activities associated with the Chaipattana Foundation, is being showcased under the title “Royal Photo Exhibition” at SX2026.
The exhibition runs until Nov 15, 2026, on the ground floor of the Queen Sirikit National Convention Centre (QSNCC), Bangkok.
The exhibition aims to offer the public an insight into Her Royal Highness's royal duties, particularly her work in development, which carries forward and builds upon the initiatives of her father, the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej The Great (Rama IX). Throughout his reign, the late King was steadfastly committed to improving the quality of life and well-being of the Thai people through the principles of self-sufficiency. His commitment led to the establishment of the Chaipattana Foundation to support development initiatives for the benefit of communities across the country.
The exhibition also highlights the importance of photography as a tool for documenting development work. The late King Bhumibol himself used photography to record information and support his royal duties. His guidance on the value of photography was reflected in his royal words:
“Photography is an art. It is something good and useful. I would ask that photography not be used merely for entertainment or beauty, but that photographs be used to create value for society.”
The photographs featured in the exhibition reflect this philosophy. Beyond their aesthetic appeal, they serve as valuable records that Her Royal Highness uses to study local conditions, monitor project progress and document the lives and stories of communities, contributing to sustainable development.
On this occasion, Her Royal Highness has also graciously granted permission for the photographs displayed at the exhibition to be made available for sale, with proceeds donated to the Chaipattana Foundation to support its mission and objectives.
The “Royal Photo Exhibition” is open to the public until Nov 15 in the Better World Zone at QSNCC.
