Driving through Sampran heading towards Nakon Prathom the other day I spotted this office or apartment block with this unbelievable ceramic tile pattern.

You should go inside and take a look at their bathrooms

That symbol has a different meaning in Asia, something to do with one of the eastern religions.

Looks more like one of those Chinese good luck shops.

The Swastika - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia from Sanskrit svástika स्वस्तिक.

look at the bottom pics. even the Romans did it, although its just a comman pattern more commonally known now cos of the Germans

still, thats bathroom pic is funny. where did you take that?

The swastika conversation has been done to death. Everyone knows all about it.

**mobs00** · 15-05-2009, 05:58 PM

I believe that is the Iranian embassy building.

I am not sure about Thailand but in Korea it is a Buddhist symbol.

Established long before the Germans and Hitler.

No doubt it was left over from that failed Nazi occupation of Thailand in 1972.

**kingwilly** · 16-05-2009, 01:40 PM

yawn.

(rolls eyes)

Why 'unbelieveable' ceramic pattern?

The Germans/Nazis didn't invent, nor own the swastika design - it is of Hindi / sanskrit origin, and considering the cultural make up of Thailand, this is no surprise.

Unless you have proof that the building is owned by a German.
