As daylight fades, Samyan Mitrtown marks the fifth edition of its Lantern Art Festival with a new collection of glowing installations across the plaza. This year’s theme, ‘The Luminous Bloom’, draws on flowers in bloom, using light, colour and large-scale lantern works to transform one of Bangkok’s busiest public spaces after dark. By placing art in the path of commuters, students and evening strollers rather than behind gallery doors, the free festival turns an everyday walk through Samyan into an easy art stop and photo opportunity.
July 17-31. Free entry. Samyan Mitrtown. 10am-10pm
