A CURATED JOURNEY: CITY TO RIVER
CALLING ALL ART LOVERS!
Siri Sala invites you to experience Bangkok through the eyes of the artists and curators shaping its contemporary cultural landscape.
For the third time, Siri Sala proudly joins the Bangkok Art Biennale to present a Guided River Journey through some of the city’s most compelling public artworks, bringing together art, heritage, architecture and the river that has always connected Bangkok.
This is not simply a tour. Your journey begins in the heart of the city, where official BAB 2026 curators will lead you through selected works, sharing the stories, ideas and inspirations behind the Biennale. Along the way, a selection of participating artists will meet you in person to introduce their own works - offering a rare opportunity to experience the art directly through the voices of those who created it. From BACC to Wat Pho and onward to the Chao Phraya, the journey gradually moves from city to river, from contemporary art to Bangkok’s timeless cultural landscape.
And then, as the afternoon light begins to soften, we take to the river.
Settle aboard a private boat and watch Bangkok unfold at sunset as we make our way to Siri Sala,
where the evening continues over dinner and drinks shared with the curators, artists and fellow art lovers.
Expect fascinating conversations, unexpected perspectives, beautiful places and the kind of encounters
that stay with you long after the journey ends.
This is more than a guided 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.
