Bangkok’s historical train hub awakened with light and sound

The Thai capital’s historical Italian Neo-Renaissance-style Hua LamphongRailway Station has burst back into life and is now greeting visitors eager to experience a light and sound extravaganza dubbed “Unfolding Bangkok”.

 

Being held nightly from now until 26 March, the event marks the 126th anniversary of the State Railway of Thailand with cleverly designed light and sound shows that enhance the architectural charm of this Bangkok landmark. Put together by the Creative Economy Agency (Public Organization) in collaboration with TCEB and Thailand’s Lighting Designers, the installations not only tell stories of the past but also accentuate the beauty of the old building.

 

The showcase starts appropriately enough with “The Door”, an illumination of the curved glass at the station’s entrance, representing embarking on a journey.

Very subdued lighting, don't need to highlight any cracks.

I hope the building is preserved as a place of historical significance and not torn down to make room for a shark fin resteraunt
