Abstract

For tourism in Rattanakosin Island, Bangkok, tourists can recognize the prominent identity of arts and cultural arts in the area and communities through received experiences. Hotel uniforms in Rattanakosin Island, Bangkok, were created from the prominent artistic patterns for identity recognition which directly affected the aesthetic image of Bangkok. This article aimed to find Rattanakosin's artistic styles and patterns that promote the Thai identity of hotel uniforms in Bangkok. Both qualitative and quantitative research was used. The three significant temples as the prototypes of artistic architecture in the Early Rattanakosin Period were studied. The results revealed that styles and patterns found in the subject temples around Rattanakosin Island included patterns from glazed tiles of Thai-Chinese arts. Motif patterns were influenced by Tribhumi ideology with Mount Meru as the center of the universe, surrounded by divine beasts and servants in all four cardinal directions.
