Wander among oversized inflatables at Chulalongkorn Park's playful Overland afternoon takeover

An afternoon wander turns playful at Chulalongkorn University Centenary Park as oversized inflatable figures quietly take over the green. The scale alone makes you smile, cartoonish forms scattered across the grounds like they have escaped from a sketchbook. It is an easy place to drift through, stopping for photos as daylight softens and the city hums at a distance. As evening arrives, the Lighting Playground shifts the atmosphere. Sunlit brightness gives way to glowing colours, and suddenly the park feels almost theatrical. Beyond posing for pictures, visitors can catch small live sets, join hands-on sessions or help build a shared installation using more than 300 balloons. Nothing feels rushed or overproduced. Just a gentle reminder that public spaces can still surprise, especially when imagination is allowed to take up a little more room than usual.

Until December 29. Free. Chulalongkorn University Centenary Park, 2pm-11pm
