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.

Before After
Old website New Website

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.
