Time Out is wrapping up 2021 in high spirits, with the first touchdown of its signature lighting event Awakening in the bustling neighborhood of Samyan. Awakening Samyan, set as a prelude to the more ambitious Awakening Bangkok in Charoenkrung in January, lights up the dark streets and alleys of two Samyan quarters—Dragon Town and Suanluang Square—with eight mesmerizing artworks.
Here’s a rundown.
