Traibhumi is a universe in the Thai novel Traibhumi Phra Ruang, which aims to encourage people to not engage in negative behaviour. In Traibhumi, there are several mythical creatures with Garuda, Ratchasee and Giant being the more well-known ones. Artist Konthorn Taecholarn, better known as Hongtae, recreated Traibhumi and its mythical creatures in his exhibition "Creatures Of Triloga". Konthorn, the director of Art of Hongtae, and his team created Triloga from their own interpretations of Traibhumi.
Although the mystical creatures in Triloga have similar names to creatures in Traibhumi, these look different from the usual forms people are familiar with since they were inspired by ancient living creatures. For instance, people are familiar with the image of the Garuda, the powerful half-man and half-bird, but Konthorn and his team think it was improbable for this kind of creature to exist in the Traibhumi. They looked through ancient living creatures and came across pterosaurs, which were flying reptiles. As a result, the 3m Garuda skeleton in the exhibition was inspired by the pterosaur.
