Let the festive season begin! Magnolia Quality Development Corporation Limited (MQDC) kicks off the holidays by bringing back Beautiful Bangkok, its signature light display that illuminates one of MQDC’s prime properties. Every night throughout the last two weeks of December, Magnolias Ratchadamri Boulevard will be irradiated with 3D mapping projections for a vibrant light and sound extravaganza supported by Ratchaprasong Square Trade Association (RSTA).
Beautiful Bangkok 2019 @Magnolias Ratchadamri Boulevard: The Symphony of Happiness will (unlike last year’s event which highlighted the creations of foreign visual designers) shine the spotlight on local talent, including P7, Mue Bon, Pai Lactobacillus, Tikkywow, Keep Your Eyes On, TRK, and Bonus TMC. Each visual artist or collective will take turns painting the soaring building with breathtaking 3D art from 18 to 31 December.
Let’s take a closer look at this year’s featured artists and their thrilling creations before we get to see them put up on the building.
The 3D mapping event will be displayed for public seven rounds every evening at 19:00, 19:20, 19:40, 20:00, 20:20, 20:40 and 21:00 (except for the opening night which the shows will start at 19:20 and end at 21:20). Moreover on New Year’s Eve, there will be a special countdown at 23:55.
