Stroll through an open air art market at Nang Loeng this weekend

This weekend, you can stroll down a Bangkok street where artists paint right in front of you, jazz plays in the background and you can actually stop for a chat about the work you fancy.

Bangkok Art Walk returns for round two, and this time it takes over Nang Loeng after bringing life to Khlong Ong Ang last year. The event happens across two weekends (February 21 to 22 and February 28 to March 1) from 4pm to 10pm, turning the stretch from Lan Luang Road to Chakkraphatdiphong Intersection as an outdoor gallery.

L'On Gallery leads the whole thing, bringing together Thai and international creators who paint live on the street. You get to watch them work, have conversations about their pieces and shop for collectible art alongside crafts and local specialty goods. The music ranges from jazz to pop, soul and folk.

This round gets more meaningful as photographer artists join to shine a light on the conflict in the three southern border provinces through their work. Part of what artists and L'On Gallery make goes to the Children's Hospital Foundation to help sick children and those with brain disabilities, and Soi Dog Foundation gets a share for animals.

The event runs on February 21 to 22 and February 28 to March 1 from 4pm to 10pm along the stretch from Lan Luang Road to Chakkraphatdiphong Intersection. Entry is free.
