Looking for something awe-inspiring and totally Instagram-worthy to do in Bangkok this month? Don’t miss KAWS:HOLIDAY THAILAND, the latest stop in the global art tour by world-renowned contemporary artist KAWS, now taking over Sanam Luang, the historic park right next to the Grand Palace.
This free art installation in Bangkok is open from now until May 25, 2025, and it’s more than just an exhibition—it’s an experience.
A Massive Sculpture, A Message That Speaks to the Soul
After making waves in cities like Shanghai, Indonesia, and Le Brassus, KAWS:HOLIDAY has landed in Thailand with a jaw-dropping 18-meter-tall COMPANION sculpture—seated on Earth, gently cradling the Moon, with a smaller COMPANION resting on its lap.
Set against the grand backdrop of Sanam Luang, this moving installation isn’t just big—it’s meaningful. It symbolizes passing on wisdom, care, and connection across generations, tying the past, present, and future together in perfect harmony.
Sanam Luang: Where Culture Meets Contemporary Art
If you’ve ever strolled through Sanam Luang, you’ll know it’s no ordinary park. Historically used for royal ceremonies and deeply rooted in Thai tradition, it now plays host to a bold, modern expression of creativity. With KAWS:HOLIDAY THAILAND, the field becomes a massive open-air canvas, blending spiritual heritage with the playful, thought-provoking style of KAWS.
Right next to the Grand Palace, this location makes the exhibit not only visually stunning but also rich with cultural resonance.
