A CURATED JOURNEY: CITY TO RIVER
CALLING ALL ART LOVERS!
Experience Bangkok through the eyes of the artists and curators shaping its contemporary art scene.
For the third time, Siri Sala proudly joins the Bangkok Art Biennale with a special Guided River Journey through some of
Bangkok’s most compelling public artworks — bringing together contemporary art, heritage, architecture and the Chao Phraya River.
Your afternoon begins in the heart of the city, where BAB 2026 curators will guide you through selected works,
sharing the stories and ideas behind the Biennale. Along the way, participating artists will join us to introduce their own work,
offering a unique chance to hear directly from the people who created it.
From BACC to Wat Pho and onwards to the Chao Phraya, the experience moves from city to river,
connecting contemporary art with the cultural landscape of Bangkok. As the afternoon light softens, we board a private boat
to Siri Sala, watching the city unfold around us as we cruise along the river. The evening continues at Siri Sala with dinner
and drinks shared with artists, curators and fellow art lovers.
Expect fascinating conversations, new perspectives, beautiful places and unexpected encounters —
the kind that stay with you long after the day is over.
This is more than a guided art tour.
It is Bangkok, seen through the eyes of its artists — from city to river.
And you’re invited.
BAB 2026 Guided Journey | November
About the Bangkok Art Biennale
Angels & Mara, the theme of Bangkok Art Biennale 2026, explores the tension between opposing forces — goodness and darkness, hope and suffering, compassion and corruption. Set in Bangkok, the City of Angels, BAB 2026 brings together artists from Thailand and around the world to reflect on the complexities of our contemporary world. Drawing on the symbolism of angels as divine messengers and fallen angels as embodiments of corruption and sin, alongside Mara, the figure associated with death, temptation and obstacles to peace and enlightenment, the Biennale invites us to consider the forces shaping humanity today — from conflict, terrorism and political division to environmental destruction and corruption.
Our Guided River Journey makes it easy to experience the highlights of BAB 2026 in one memorable afternoon, with the official curators bringing the artworks to life, opportunities to meet participating artists, and a relaxed river journey connecting the city to Siri Sala. Along the way, you’ll discover great art, hear the stories behind it and meet a wonderful group of fellow art lovers — ending with drinks and dinner together as the sun sets over the Chao Phraya. Come curious, leave inspired — and with a new group of friends.
