UPDATE - 1 September 2020
Still in the area of Si Phraya Pier, the surface to be painted has relocated from the pier itself to a site on the approach to the pier. Sitting between River City and Royal Orchid Sheraton, is public thoroughfare built over the klong. This area is currently being greened by River City as a first step towards a riverside park.
Entering and leaving Si Phraya Pier, you walk under a bridge. We have reached an agreement with the owners for KENZ mural of the dragons to be painted on the underbelly of the bridge.
Walls throughout the Creative District and Chinatown have become popular for street art over the past five years. First BukRuk, then Vhils and most recently Colour of Chaoroenkrung. KENZ work will be the first to be painted under a bridge.
KENZ’s design references this part of the Chao Phraya River, known to locals as ‘the dragon’s belly’, and the four Thai Royals (Si Phraya) who helped establish the riverside district of Bang Rak and Talad Noi.
Before the change of venue, we had received donations totally THB75,771 which is enough for us to start work. We already secured the support of Benjamin More Thailand who has generously agreed to provide the paint.
This wonderful community project is sure to attract lots of visitors to Si Phraya, and in doing so help the many small businesses in the area. It promises to be extremely INSTAGRAM-able.
More details about the project are below. Message us on the Facebook page if you have any questions.
