RESUMO

The triad, Royalty, Buddhism and the feeling of being part of the Thai Nation, marked deeply my life in Bangkok. These three paradigms, in set, established the defining marks in the thai identification process. They are also correspondent to each color of the thai national flag: blue, white and red. This dissertation looks toward to put my past experience into horizons of an ethnographic research. As the main objective I tried to understand the combination of these three colors in the life of thai people in the Royal Thai Embassy in Brazil. The colors of the flag, while semantic expressions of unit and historical continuity of the only country in Southeast Asia which was not colonized, are transformed into an ethnographic index in its pragmatic dimension. It was this possibility to make a composition of the verbal structure or literal sequence through the colors that the poetic function of this dissertation is defined.
