Apsonsi ThaiTown Gateway Part A

The Apsonsi Thai angel is a mythical half-human, half-lion creature that protects and brings good fortune to those around it. This angel and the three that are planned for installation will welcome visitors to Thai Town in Hollywood with hands clasped in front of their chests near the chin in the traditional Thai greeting.

The beautification project symbolizes the cultural and economic ties between Los Angeles Thai American community and the City of Bangkok, Thailand, which are both internationally known as the City of Angels.

The beautification of Thai Town through the embrace of Thai art and other ethnic art projects already on display in Hollywood complements each other to improve the quality of life for all residents and support the ongoing economic development of the area. The Thai Town Gateway makes
known the presence of the Thai community and its vital role in contributing to the social and economic fabric of this country.
