Lumphini Park gets a giant character art takeover this Songkran

Lumphini Park has quite the moment right now. Recently, there's viral b-boy Da Da leading those massive outdoor exercise sessions that pull in 3,000 people. Now Bangkok's favourite green space gets an artistic makeover for Songkran that's definitely worth making a trip for.

This Thai New Year, Trendy Gallery and Amazing Thailand bring a proper outdoor art gallery to the park with the Saneh Art by Songkran Festival. There’ massive character sculptures from Thailand's hottest emerging artists, all displayed among the trees and lakeside paths where you normally see joggers and those famous monitor lizards lounging about.

The main draw is the large-scale Character Art installations scattered throughout the park. You spot works from some of Thailand's biggest creative names: Nisa Seekhamdee brings her beloved CRYBABY character, Wisut Ponnimit's Mamuang, Kasemwit Chaweewat's POORBOY, Sirinat Saiprasat's TOMATO TWINS and 2CHOEY (aka Cherdsak Moeikhanmak) with his finger face creation. These aren't your average park decorations – they're statement pieces that demand attention.

Songkran water splashing is obviously on the cards, and you can create your own artwork, catch artist talks, collect stamps to win Limited Edition prizes and browse the sculpture display if you want to stay dry.

Saneh Art by Songkran Festival 2026, Lumphini Park, April 11-15 (sculptures until April 30). Free.
