A symbol of fidelity and long life, red-crowned cranes, one of the rarest birds in the world, are sacred in Japan. Meanwhile, the iconic cherry blossom, which bursts into flower only a few weeks each spring, stands for renewal and optimism.

Native to Thailand, Siamese cats are legendary as a symbol of good luck, with some believing they can ward off evil spirits. Over a thousand orchid species flower all year round in Thailand, with the Thai purple orchid symbolising royalty, admiration, and respect.
