Though some may not see it as “art” per-se, street art is very much an artistic and creative representation which has become part of a cityscape. This is certainly true in Bangkok as well where the city has embraced this form of art by having a Street Art Festival. One place where you can witness these larger than life artworks is the Alliance Francaise building which can be found on Sathorn Road. If you are in search of hotels Bangkok has to offer in the Sathorn area then definitely consider Anantara Bangkok Sathorn. This luxurious Bangkok hotel can be found at the peripheries of the city’s business district and provides an ideal base from which to explore the city and see its street art.
Featuring the talents of artists the world over, the Bangkok Street Art Festival showcased modern art that goes beyond mere “graffiti”. A great place to witness this artistic display is at the old Alliance Francaise building in Sathorn where an entire floor has been dedicated to street art. Bare of any furniture, each room here showcases the unique works of artists. Since this building will not be in use for long, make sure you catch these works of art before it’s too late. Another spot where one can enjoy Bangkok street art include an area near the Ratchatewi BTS Station where art bursts out in all its colourful grandeur.
