Wow! This is great news for Thailand. Things seem to be really improving there.

Some highlights:

The new Parliament is topped by a golden pagoda representing Mount Meru in Buddhist cosmology.

The walls of the Parliament's state hall have also been decorated with a mural that represents the story of Thai society across the nation and includes an image of citizens wearing face masks.

The new parliament was designed to make Thais feel proud of their artistic heritage.

People can also visit the Democracy Museum.

The building is said to be among the largest parliamentary assemblies in the world. As they say, "the bigger, the better".

Might as well be a joke.
