After a two-year-long renovation, the skywalk above Pathumwan Intersection reopened on Friday and now doubles as the city’s newest art space.
The skywalk links major attractions in the Siam Square area, including Siam Square, Bangkok Art & Culture Center, Siam Discovery and MBK.
In case you’re trying to interpret the circle-shaped art installations on the skywalk, they are designed to look like lotus leaves in a swamp, because Pathumwan, the intersection running beneath it, means “lotus” in Thai.
In the future, the space will showcase works from artists all over the world.
The local businesses that funded the new attraction are hoping it will become a new landmark along the lines of Highline New York and Seoul Sky Garden.
They’re also calling for locals to name their new skywalk in a contest.
