Art on the Streets

Songwat Road 2016 - 2025, first piece by Aitch

I'm not sure when I started paying serious attention to street art, but around 2015, I began taking photos of any piece I encountered and liked.

The impact of the two Thai-European Bukruk Street Art Festivals in 2013 and 2016 shouldn't be underestimated; these events helped make Thai street art kind of respectable.

Chalerm La graffiti park and nearby Khlong Saen Saeb are well-known places for murals, which are often repainted as street art has a limited life-span.

Here however, follows a random selection of street art found in different parts of Bangkok, some of which have disappeared already...

Behind Wat Arun

Siam Square

Near Sam Yot MRT Station

Bang Phlat cats...

Yellow-blue eyes

Big murals!

Sometimes shops come up with some intriguing artworks.

Lat Yao area

Crude, but fun, bird in Talad Noi

Not sure, but I think it was at Chalerm La graffiti park.

Bang Yai area

Bamrung Muang Road

A classic Alex Face mural near the National Stadium BTS Station, which by now, sadly enough, looks dreadful...

Crude but effective, at Talad Noi!

Songwat Road - from the 2016 Bukruk Street Art Festival, art by Roa

This piece was made at the same time as the elephants above, but is long gone, the paint started peeling off very quickly... Art by Aryz

Bang Yai area

Colourful contrast!

Very smart design, Rattanakosin area.

Somewhere along Phuttamonthon Road, if I remember correctly...
