【29 Apr, 2025, Thailand】Following recent stops in Indonesia, Shanghai, and Le Brassus, KAWS:HOLIDAY embarks on an extraordinary new chapter in Thailand. Presented by KAWS in collaboration with long-time partner AllRightsReserved local partner Central Embassy, this latest stop transforms the historic grounds of Sanam Luang—Bangkok’s vast ceremonial ground and cultural heart—into an open-air canvas for artistic expression.
For this stop, KAWS unveils an 18-meter COMPANION sitting on the Earth, gently holding the Moon while a smaller COMPANION rests in its lap. The artwork symbolizes the passing of knowledge, values, and care across generations, highlighting the enduring connections between past, present, and future.
Sanam Luang, historically known as Thung Phra Meru (Royal Cremation Ground), holds deep cultural and spiritual significance in Thailand. Rooted in the ancient Mandala belief system, the grounds represent the centre of the universe—a place where celestial forces and earthly realms converge. As a site of strong tradition, it embodies a legacy of historic significance and continuity. COMPANION, seated on the Earth and cradling the Moon, becomes a reflection of this cosmic order, reinforcing the interconnectedness of all things and the continuous flow of wisdom across generations.

Located next to the Grand Palace, this setting bridges Thailand’s regal traditions with contemporary creativity. Within this storied landscape, KAWS:HOLIDAY THAILAND offers more than an art installation—it is an invitation to slow down, become immersed in the surroundings, and experience a moment of reflection and togetherness. This unique journey is further enriched by the collaboration of local partner Central Embassy in Thailand, strengthening the exhibition’s connection with the community and adding a distinct cultural dimension to the celebration.
This extraordinary journey has also been generously supported by the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration and the Tourism Authority of Thailand, along with local supporters such as Central The 1 Credit Card, Plan B Media Public Company Limited, and Lighting & Equipment Public Company Limited. Together, they have helped strengthen the connection between art and its audience, while adding a distinctive cultural dimension to this celebration.
The exclusive KAWS:HOLIDAY Thailand Limited Collection will be unveiled on May 6. Stay tuned for further announcements and product highlights to be revealed in the lead-up to the launch.

About Central Embassy
Central Embassy is Central Group’ s new flagship property, the gem in an illustrious string of high-profile projects by Thailand’ s largest retail chain. Built on the former gardens of the British Embassy and situated on the bustling intersection of Wireless and Ploen Chit, this one-of-a-kind architectural landmark, with its daring curvatures and dynamic facade, has reinvigorated the Bangkok skyline as well as its spirit.

The six-storey retail podium is home to the biggest names — both international and local — in fashion, beauty, design, dining and tech, while its sky-high voids has hosted works, collections and performances by world-acclaimed visual artists, musicians, fashion designers and curators. Its verdant sky terraces and top-floor restaurants overlook the sights and lights of downtown Bangkok, offering one of the most picturesque sunsets in the city on a daily basis
