2/5 Christmas Tree Reimagined

There are multiple reasons to visit Kimpton Maa-Lai during the holiday season. One of them is the show-stopping Christmas tree erected at the hotel’s lobby. Reimagining the classic Christmas tree, artist Saruta “Pin” Kiatparkpoom, also known as PiN Metal Art, has utilised metal and repurposed waste for its transformation. Incorporating Thai elements, the artist was inspired by the shape of Bai Sri ornaments originally used in Thai blessing ceremonies.

5/5 The One And Only – No Body Can Compare

Due to our media consumption and cultural values, we have been forced to keep up with unrealistic body ideals. As a friendly reminder to reconnect and appreciate our natural bodies, artist Chanida Areewatanasombat (Chubbynida) and counselling psychologist /psychotherapist Onraya Himakorn joined hands to create an exhibition that encourages healthy relationships with our own appearances.
