Here is an exclusive peak - scroll around to see the detail :-

Mr. Tanya Phonanan, Director of Institute of Memory Innovation, said “The World’s Longest Mind Map theme is Bangkok. It’s composed of two main branches, the ceremonial name of Bangkok, which is composed in combination of two ancient Indian languages, P?li and Sanskrit.



According to the romanisation of these languages, it can actually be written as Krung-d?vamah?nagara amararatanakosindra mahindrayudhy? mah?tilakabhava navaratanar?jadh?n? pur?ramya utamar?janiv?sana mah?sth?na amaravim?na avat?rasthitya shakrasdattiya vishnukarmaprasiddhi. And according to Mind Map rule of one word for one branch, the ceremonial name fills in 32 braches of the Mind map.”



On each branch, are paintings by the Dean, faculties, graduates and current students of Faculty of Painting Sculpture and Graphic Arts, Silpakorn University are decorated.



On the other main branch, demonstrates the Royal Barge Procession, of which 52 barges are displayed. The editor of Camerart Magazine, Nopadol Archasantisuk, took the pictures of the figurehead of the Royal Barges.



The master designer of the Map is Tanya Phonanan, the first Thai who was licensed to teach the Mind Mapping technique in Thailand.



Nopadol Wongwaen a freelance graphic designer, who also graduated from Silpakorn University, does the actual design. The whole project is co-coordinated by Damkeng Raiwa, the chairman of the sub-committee for the world longest Mind Map. Khun Damkeng was the first prize winner of the Mind Map Competition in 2003.



Nopadol Wongwaen, the designer said “The world’s longest Mind Map is an intercourse of State-of-the-Art note-taking technology and the Thai traditional art heritage. Ajarn Tanya showed us the master design, which is basically the twenty-fist century note-taking tool; I applied the local traditional art form, using graphic software.



Tanya Phonanan concluded that “The outcome is a work of art in a modern form, which provides a stunning effect and would linger on the long term memory hemisphere of the neuron system of the beholders. And this is what the whole project is all about”
