Old Bangkok lights path out of pandemic with eye-popping 'Awakening' street illuminations

Time Out Bangkok has joined forces with public and private partners to light up the city with the fourth edition of “Awakening Bangkok”.

This year’s display will illuminate the neighbourhoods of Charoenkrung, Talad Noi and Soi Nana in Chinatown from March 25 to April 3. Light and sound artists have created a total of 52 eye-popping installations under the theme of “RE:VIVE”.

The aim is to bring new energy to the vibrant nightlife scene in Bangkok’s Old Town following the dark days of Covid-19.
