Colbert, celebrated for pioneering a novel Pop Art style characterized by distinct lines and vibrant colors, brings his original creation, "Lobster Man," into this collaboration for the first time in Thailand. His work will be transformed into a vast 'Giant Inflatable Playground,' embracing a "splash" theme.

A special highlight of the event is the showcase of fashion and design through an exclusive collection curated by Thai and emerging new-generation designers. This collection places a spotlight on Thai batik, a wisdom of Thai craftsmanship, reimagined in a contemporary style.

Siam Discovery is preparing to embrace the summer festival with the event themed "Siam Discovery: The Summer Exploratorium," scheduled from April 3-16, 2024. This event extends an invitation to all under the motto 'Come Play with Us,' focusing on sports and street art. The shopping center is setting the venue for a '3x3 Basketball Tournament', attracting over 100 teams, including superstars, celebrities, artists, and national team athletes, to compete. Alongside this, a 'Splash Party' will enhance the atmosphere with light and sound displays from screens surrounding the competition area, complemented by a variety of other activities.

Other highlights of the event feature renowned Korean street artist JAYFLOW, who will bring his creativity to craft street art basketball characters infused with the lively spirit of the Songkran Festival for all to enjoy.
