Adding to the evening’s grandeur, the Bangkok Symphony Orchestra and vocalists from Heavenly Voice Nancy’s Studio delivered enchanting performances. However, at the heart of the event was Ms. Linda Cheng, Managing Director of River City Bangkok, who unveiled RCB’s bold vision for the future passionately describing the centre as “A place where art lives, breathes, and inspires.”

To mark the occasion, the establishment also hosted two special exhibitions: Ad Astra Per Aspera: Through Hardships to the Stars and Before Sunrise. “Ad Astra Per Aspera: Through Hardships to the Stars” revisited the centre’s inception on December 1, 1984 where what began as Mr. Adisorn Charanachitta’s dream of a shopping complex has now grown into one of Bangkok’s most esteemed cultural landmarks. Meanwhile, “Before Sunrise” showcased works by over 40 talented artists from seven galleries, exploring the theme of emerging from darkness into light.
