The doors to The Corner House are officially open, and our Capture Bangkok exhibition is finally here for all to see, on display until August 20. This journey began back in January, when Bangkok was named the second-best city in the world in a Time Out global survey. That immense sense of pride and optimism sparked an idea: to celebrate our city in the most authentic way we knew how – through a street photography exhibition that could capture its true, unfiltered soul.
Within weeks, we had assembled 10 of the city’s top street photographers and invited them to simply… capture Bangkok. We followed them with our own camera crew through bustling markets, abandoned buildings, and even a snake farm, learning their unique philosophies and techniques. Inspired by their work, we then invited you, our readers, to pick up a camera. The response was incredible, with thousands of photo submissions of such high quality that we felt duty-bound to create a special category for 10 runner-ups alongside our grand prize winner.
If you missed our live charity auction during last night’s launch in support of the Issarachon Foundation, don’t worry – here’s your second chance to own a piece from this remarkable collection while contributing to a truly meaningful cause. Our online auction will take place from August 14-18 exclusively on our Time Out Bangkok Facebook page.
This project has been a true labour of love, and I’d like to thank the entire Time Out team for working tirelessly to make it happen. It truly wouldn’t have been possible without our generous sponsors: Canon, Coca-Cola and LG. The result is a stunning collection of images that form a collective portrait of our home, a city of endless stories and boundless creativity. We hope you enjoy this celebration of the city we all love. Thank you.
