BANGKOK, THAILAND STREET ART & GRAFFITI: “MARDI” by ALEX FACE at CHALOEMLA PARK

Published on by jacquelinemhadelLeave a comment

Bangkok’s street art scene isn’t a single “district.” It’s a scavenger hunt. And Alex Face is one of the artists who helped make that hunt feel like a real cultural map, not just random paint.

You’ll see Mardi mentioned in street-art guides as a key marker of the city, with sightings around areas like Charoen Krung / Bang Rak and near Siam/Ratchathewi. 

I think that’s why Alex Face works in Bangkok so well. This city is intense—loud, beautiful, exhausting, funny, harsh, generous, all at once.

Mardi is the pause inside all that. A tiny, sad-eyed reminder that under the neon and the traffic and the hustle, there’s still something human trying to stay human.

And that third eye?

It feels like Bangkok’s conscience—quietly open.

BANGKOK, THAILAND STREET ART: KHON / RAMAKIEN TRADITIONAL DANCE

Published on by jacquelinemhadelLeave a comment

These are Khon / Ramakien characters — Thailand’s masked classical-dance figures from the Thai version of the Ramayana epic.

In this post:
• Right figure (white mask): a monkey warrior, most commonly Hanuman (the famous white monkey general).

Center figure (dark/green-toned mask, royal crown, heavy armor): a yak (giant/demon) character — often shown as Thotsakan (Tosakan/Ravana) or another giant from the Ramakien.
