About this audio guide
This guide to the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre traces a fight that began in 2001, when a site promised to the city's artists in 1995 was quietly redrawn as mostly retail space with a token gallery. It follows the campaign that answered, including a four-kilometre parade of paintings down Rama I Road and a public vote at Pathumwan junction that drew fifty thousand ballots. The central spiral ramp is a good place to pause and take in the nine floors that campaign won.
