Art is in the air at Bangkok’s townsquare for three days, as Colorful Bangkok Expo 2024 is here for all the artsy people of the city.
Colorful Bangkok Expo 2024 turns the townsquare into a space full of art
Famous for being fenced off for political protestors, the Lan Khon Mueang Townsquare in front of Bangkok City Hall is about to get a very vibrant makeover for three days: 18-21 January, 2024.
In this expo, you’ll get to walk through an art market with more than 90 stalls featuring Bangkok artists and designers. It’s a great way to support local talents as they showcase their works and put up their art up for sale.
The event also promises a lot of exciting activities in the itinerary, including cultural performances, concerts, outdoor film screenings, walking tours of the historic Bangkok City Hall complete with narration, and the first-ever projection mapping directly onto the city hall, provided by Bodhi Theatre.
Colorful Bangkok Expo 2024 is created to transform Lan Khon Mueng Townsquare into more of an artspace and potentially exposing people of Bangkok to art. This time, we’re really up close and personal. Entry is free of charge.
