What do you do when you want to learn about a faraway country without having to fly there? Consulting Lonely Planet might take too long to give the whole picture of a territory,while the ever-popular Google could make you more confused with too many sites to plough through.
Each country has unique tales to tell the world and the best evidence to verify the stories can be found in ancient objects like old maps, historical documents and archive films - mostly wellkept by its own people.
To find out about the cultural side, however, a collection of artefacts can reflect how rich a country's cultural heritage is and also its people's way of life in earlier days - to some extent yet in an aesthetic atmosphere.
Currently on display for the first time ever in the Kingdom are dozens of reproduced antique artefacts and handicrafts from Chile.Presented by the Embassy of the Republic of Chile, the "Chile...Infinite Latitudes Exhibition @ The Emporium" aims to mark the country's 199th year of independence as well as to tighten the diplomatic relationship between the two countries.
Besides bringing Chilean cultural heritage to Thai people through the exquisite items of different civilisations dating back thousands of years, a set of 30 photographs are also exhibited to reveal Chile's geographical diversity.
Captured by famous photographer Olivier Michaud, the pictures portray breathtaking landscapes of all parts of this South American country - an experience for Thais without the hassle of travel.
