Kaws : holiday thailand

It is a grand outdoor art exhibition currently being held in Thailand as part of the KAWS:HOLIDAY world tour. Which has been exhibited in many countries such as Switzerland, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Singapore and Japan. The arrival of KAWS in Thailand this time is considered a world-class art event that has attracted a lot of attention from both Thais and foreigners.

Main Sculpture: The highlight of the event is the 18-meter-high “COMPANION” sculpture, a unique character with cross-shaped eyes sitting on the Earth and embracing the moon. With a smaller COMPANION resting on his lap, the idea behind this piece is to pass on knowledge, values ​​and care from generation to generation, connecting the past, present and future.

Venue: On display at Sanam Luang, Bangkok, an important historical and cultural area of ​​Thailand. The fact that world-class contemporary artworks stand tall against the magnificent backdrop of the Grand Palace and ancient Thai architecture creates an interesting and rare contrast.

Admission: Free of charge, making this world-class work of art accessible to all.

“KAWS:HOLIDAY THAILAND” is an art event that is a must-see, especially for KAWS enthusiasts or those who want to experience contemporary art in an atmosphere full of Thai history and culture. Although the show was only held for a short period, it created an impression and was widely talked about. Demonstrating Bangkok’s potential as a global hub for arts and culture, the event ends today (May 25, 2025) making this your last chance to experience it for yourself.


Since the event is in the rainy season, a crane is needed to support the event. However, if there is no rain, there will be no crane to support the event. Thailand has many festivals and various exhibitions, and you can visit all year round.

Wow, this sounds like an absolutely incredible event! Thanks for sharing such a vivid description of the KAWS:HOLIDAY exhibition in Thailand. It’s fantastic to hear about world-class art like this being so accessible to the public, especially with free admission.

The 18-meter high “COMPANION” sculpture sounds truly impressive, and the concept of passing knowledge and care across generations is a beautiful message. The setting at Sanam Luang, with the Grand Palace as a backdrop, must create such a stunning and memorable contrast between contemporary art and historical Thai architecture – what a unique experience that must have been!

It’s a shame to hear that yesterday (May 25th, 2025) was the last day to catch it. It sounds like it was a truly special opportunity for both Thais and international visitors and a real highlight for Bangkok as an arts and cultural hub.

It’s also interesting to learn about the practical considerations like the crane for the rainy season. It’s great that Thailand offers so many festivals and exhibitions throughout the year for people to enjoy! Thanks for sharing all the details and the impressive photos!
