Time Out says

Dial a number and poetry answers. Dial-A-Poem Thailand gathers 35 Thai artists working across text, image, film, sound and performance, pushing  poetry well beyond the page. Access is  simple call to +66 97-531-0708 or use the fixed telephone installations at Bangkok Kunsthalle and Khao Yai Art Forest. Each call connects you to a random recording, creating a one-to-one exchange that lasts only as long as you stay on the line. Voices range from intimate messages and algorithmic speech to chance compositions and ritual sound, with street calls, Muay Thai commentary and regional dialects sitting alongside monastic chants. The result is a layered sonic map of contemporary Thai expression.

April 24 onwards. Free. Bangkok Kunsthalle. 2pm-8pm
