Bangkok doesn’t exactly need more colour, but this September it’s getting a fresh coat anyway. As part of European Heritage Days 2025, the French Embassy and Sawasdee France are pulling off something unusual: pairing the city’s centuries-old corners with the boldness of contemporary street art. The plan is straightforward but ambitious. Over in Charoen Krung, Talat Noi, South Sathon, Surawong and Lumpini, Thai and European artists will transform blank walls into sprawling murals, the kind that quietly shift how a neighbourhood feels. You can wander by each day and watch as the images unfold, spray by spray. There’s also a seminar on September 18 at the Grand Post Office, where curator Alisa Phommahaxay will unravel how artists like JR and Christo turn concrete into conversation.
Until September 21. Free. Talad Noi and surrounding areas.
