Bangkok’s Street Art scene is vibrant and unavoidable, and it just keeps on growing. If you’re a novice when it comes to identifying art on the streets of Bangkok and wish to take your appreciation for these innovative and inspiring artists to the next level, I have just the textbook for you—and it’s full of pictures. Bangkok Street Art, a French and English bilingual book by French curator Alisa Phommahaxay, published by Critères Editions, is written from a place of love and respect for these Thai artists and their work. The book definitively features the biggest names in the scene, from Alex Face to the late Mamafaka, and everyone in between. It’s a treat even for those who are well-versed in the scene. Â
You can find the book at Kinokuniya Singapore or at criteres-editions.com.
A recommendation that won’t cost you anything except your time and a Netflix subscription, Jailbirds is a must-watch non-fiction new release on the popular streaming platform. If you love Orange Is The New Black, you’ll love this; and if you were disappointed with Orange Is The New Black—as I ultimately became—Jailbirds is the look into the lives of incarcerated women that you’ve been waiting for. I’ve included a specific trailer of one of my favourite aspects within the show: Toilet Talk. Just watch.Â
