From the sacred soil of the Hung Kings’ Temple and the fertile banks of the Red River, this handcrafted censer embodies the spiritual essence and cultural heritage of Viet Nam.
Each delicate motif reflects the devotion of Vietnamese artisans and the aspiration for peace, wisdom, and enduring friendship.

It is my honor to present this gift as a symbol of respect and warm ties between the National Assembly of Viet Nam and the House of Representatives of the Kingdom of Thailand.

May its gentle fragrance be a reminder of the harmony and goodwill shared between our two nations.
