Thailand and China are celebrating their 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations with a series of cultural exchange events. At a recent ceremony in Bangkok, DIMOO, a popular character from Chinese artist Ayan Deng's creation POP MART, was awarded the honorary title "Special Friend of Thailand-China Golden Jubilee". The limited-edition figure features a culturally blended design, drawing inspiration from Thai national symbols, and was unveiled alongside an animation short. The event marked a significant milestone in the growing popularity of art toys as a bridge between the two cultures, with POP MART's first store in Bangkok attracting over 1,000 fans on opening day.
