Central Festival Pattaya Beach showcased a collection of photographs taken by HRH Princess Sirindhorn to reflect her interactions with Thailand’s people, animals and nature.

Culture Minister Sukumol Kunplome opened the Aug. 8-20 exhibit at the beachfront mall. The second exhibition of the princess’ photos since last September was again sponsored by owner Central Pattana Public Co., the ministry’s Contemporary Art and Culture Office, and the Royal Photographic Society of Thailand.

Titled “Born to this World,” the exhibit showcased 190 photographs taken by Her Royal Highness during trips around Thailand from 2010-11. Many of the photos focus on the hardship endured during last year’s devastating floods.

Photographic society Vice President Nittikorn Kraiwichien said the princess has long loved art and drew pictures of various scenes before she discovered photography.
