The arch's design consists of two main elements: the dragon head at Damrong Sathit Bridge, named "Vajirasathit 72 Phansa" by royal decree, signifying longevity and prosperity; and the five-clawed dragon at Mo Mi Intersection, named "Vajirathamrong 72 Phansa," representing the nation's heartfelt tribute to His Majesty on this auspicious occasion. The Embassy of China in Thailand has also played a significant role in fostering diplomatic relations between the two nations by contributing a set of exquisite marble sculptures made of Han Baiyu, or white jade marble, a rare stone traditionally used in Chinese imperial palaces. These sculptures include an elephant and a lion—symbolizing Thailand and China, respectively—along with a ceremonial drum, signifying honor and renown that echoes far and wide. These three sculptures, enshrined at the base of the commemorative arch, serve as enduring symbols of prosperity and the deep, unwavering Sino-Thai bonds.
