This is the story of a restaurant
with a great history within its name. Krungthai,
which means “City of Thailand”, also
implies the location of a temple in central Thailand.
This magnificent city is where the owner, Prapa
Siripakdi, travels to visit the temple almost every
other year.
I was called in to create a web
site as well as promotional literature, stationery,
and communications systems. Ms. Siripakdi requested
that the web site and literature focus on the interior
design of the restaurant. This was important because
the interior design reflects her love of Thai temple
design. Many of the moldings, paintings and artifacts
were imported from Thailand to complete the authentic
feeling of the Krungthai restaurant.
With its expanded and newly decorated dining room, Ms. Siripakdi
desired a 360' panoramic picture of the interior to showcase the area. With
the help of Flash ™, Phonsakkhwa created an impressive interactive 360'
panoramic of the dining space. PHP and MySQL were also used to create
the site. The MySQL database was used to enhanced the menu section of
the site.
