So much art

pageBreak.png

Bangkok is full of amazing sites. When you walk around, there are so many cool things to look at. Whether it is the beautiful temples that are around the city, the street food at every corner, or the amazing works of art that are on so many of the different walls across the city.

There is a massive difference in graffiti that is there to just be a nuisance and graffiti that is a work of art. When @faitherz33 and I were going exploring outside of the Grand Post Office, we found an alley that had some of the most beautiful art on the walls. At the end of the alley is where we found the dock that led us on our boat tour around the river and canals of Bangkok.


A few years ago, I put together this video of a local graffiti artist explaining his love for the art and how he got started with it.

It amazes me how creative and how talented these people are that do these pieces of art. I am glad that the city has embraced it and allowed the artists to express themselves in these areas.

The artist that did the piece above has a lot of work throughout Thailand. I saw quite a few of his pieces there in Bangkok and I even saw one of them in Pattaya.

It was really cool to see all of the diversity in the art. This is one of my favorite things to do in a new country is to just explore and see all of the cool sites, and the street art in Bangkok is definitely very cool. Let me know if you have any cool street art in the area where you live and if you do, share a picture of it in the comments.

The Bunny’s are all over Bangkok and the artists name is Alex Face. In 2009 I saw it the first time and did some research. Super cool streetart.

Wow this is so cool!
I liked this one the most:

What a handsome character.

South East Asia sure have these vibrant colors and somehow great acculturation of many visual arts. I’ve seen some great murals in Malaysia, and Philippines. All have distinctive characteristics, so diverse.

Here in Jakarta, we also have several mural artist with easily recognized character. Often, they used it as a medium for protest or critics. Although some people might labeled them as vandals or Banksy wannabe. Lol.
