The TCDC which stands for Thailand Creative and Design Center is one of the eight divisions under Office of Knowledge Management and Development (OKMD). It aims to provide Thais with easy access to “source of capital” resulting in the increase in consumption and economic growth up to a certain level.
To maintain sustainable economic growth, the Government also gives Thais an opportunity to acquire the most updated and varied knowledge software, leading to up - and -coming designers and product developer as well as new entrepreneurs that can combine capital with idea & creativity to improve and add value to their products.

Safe Shipment for Art Items

Whenever I ship goods and fragile items to my homeland, safety is always my number one priority. Once I have sent picture frames placed inside a huge box together with other consumable items and RTWs (ready-to-wear). I sent it in the Philippines and by the time my parents opened it they complained that the glasses where shattered due to minimal protection being placed around it. I realized I should have safeguarded it to have avoided the damage. Lesson, it’s difficult to take chances.
Next time, I will be very careful in handling this problem like how art shipment company does. One very good source of information I have read is from imaginemindseye.com. They have enumerated the tips in protecting fragile items. One of which is the use of crate. There award-winning business have gained them reputable respect from customers in the museum and art industry.
In Mr. Bean movie where he played as Dr. of Arts, there was a scene when the painting of a mother was placed in a secure Art Storage. Delivered through a climate controlled truck done by authorized staffs. The room where the painting was displayed was fully automatic. With a single click, the painting disappears from the site of spectators and reappears upon certain time schedule. Seeing such high tech museum is one of dream.
