Beyond the Rainbow is back! An immersive exhibition for dog and cat lovers – and yes, you can bring your furry little ones along

If you got the chance to visit Beyond the Rainbow, the gentle art exhibition made for anyone who's lost a pet, you'll be pleased to know it's coming back. Eyedropper Fill's show returns to River City Bangkok, the arts complex down by the Chao Phraya, running from September 18 to November 22.

The angle shifts a little this time. The show centres on an idea its makers call ‘Growing Together’. We tend to assume we're the ones doing the caring, but the exhibition suggests the opposite, that our animals have been looking after us all along.

You move through three rooms. The first, First Hello, takes you back to the day you met, where you pin a photo and a few scribbled lines to the Memory Wall before carrying on. Growing Together supersizes the small routines of pet ownership. A litter box the size of a paddling pool. A giant 'Bowl of Love' from Pramy. A quiet corner where you sit and write a proper letter to your dog or cat, the sort of thing you'd never say out loud. Some people manage a sentence, others fill the whole page.

Forever in Our Hearts closes things out, and it's the tender one. Designed with psychologists, the room helps you sit with the grief and edge a little closer to acceptance instead of staying stuck.

The nicest touch this time? A dedicated space where real pets are welcome to join. Dogs and cats only, mind, and they stay in a stroller or a fully enclosed carrier the whole way round, so they experience the show alongside you from start to finish.

Beyond the Rainbow runs at River City Bangkok from September 18 to November 22. Tickets start at B150, or B200 if a small companion tags along for the day. Grab yours here.
