Bangkok City Hall has been holding a cultural festival this week promoting the capital’s multicultural roots. Titled ‘Look Up BKK,’ the event takes place over four days, starting from Thursday (20 July) and concluding on Monday (24 July).
The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) joined hands with the Ministry of Culture to host this cultural festival, which aims to promote the multicultural aspect of the city.
The festival features art and cultural attractions representing the capital’s long history of multiculturalism spanning some 240 years.
Chalermpon Chotinuchit, a deputy permanent secretary at the BMA, said the festival serves as a tool for promoting creativity and driving forward the conservation of multicultural heritage, as well helping boost the local economy.
