"Spice Road", Bangkok Design Week 2025 - Song Wat at Charoen Watana Warehouse _____ What does Song Wat smell like? As we walk through the streets of Song Wat, we can smell the fragrant drift that has been with this neighborhood for a long time. It is a complex blend of various spices, so intricately intertwined that it becomes difficult to understand. Thai people always share a deep connection to the scents of spices and use them in various ways. This idea has inspired the "Spice Road" team. This art installation traces the unique journey and reimagines the unique scents in Song Wat in different eras, through collaboration with Charoen Watana and Divana, and by incorporating materials and products historically used in trades, all set in the historic warehouse. กลิ่นทรงวาด? ขณะที่เราเดินผ่านไปตามแนวถนนทรงวาด เราจะได้กลิ่นหอมล่องลอยในบรรยากาศ มันเป็นกลิ่นหอมที่อยู่คู่กับย่านนี้มาตั้งแต่อดีต มันเป็นส่วนผสมของกลิ่นจากเครื่องเทศหลายชนิด จนยากที่เราจะสามารถแยกแยะได้ ในวิถีชีวิตของคนไทย เรามีความผูกพันกับกลิ่นของเครื่องเทศ และใช้กลิ่นในรูปแบบต่างๆ อยู่ตลอดเวลา ความผูกพันนี้เป็นแรงบันดาลใจให้กับกลุ่มศิลปิน “Spice Road” ในการสร้างสรรค์ผลงานศิลปะจัดวาง ที่ร้อยเรียงเส้นทางการเดินทางของกลิ่นในย่านทรงวาด สู่การสร้างจินตนาการของกลิ่นในแต่ละยุคสมัย ผ่านการทำงานร่วมกับเจริญวัฒนา และ Divana ในการสร้างสรรค์กลิ่นให้กับย่าน ผสานกับการใช้วัสดุอุปกรณ์ต่างๆ ที่อยู่คู่กับการค้าขาย ภายในอาคารโกดังดั้งเดิมอันเก่าแก่ Spice Road Team @moowannnnnnz @winnnnnnnnnns @aaheermoo @beamm @ponsuper @aingisgoing @printumsatan @tttunnnn In Collaboration with @yaard.bkk @35mmindeed @oudersbkk.studio @krizvendetta @combineby_ Official Supporters @divana_product @lightingthailand Chareon Watana Sierra Valley Golden Farm Verri Berri IDeA Photographer: @supanut.keng @bangkokdesignweek @madeinsongwat @strn_lab _____ #BKKDW2025 #BangkokDesignWeek #DesignUpRising #ออกแบบพร้อมบวก #ScentOfSongwat #divana #divanaphenomenon #divanasunrise #canonthailand

Merchants of Song Wat collaborate with Harvard University through an international exchange conference. Following its presentation at @bangkokdesignweek , the Merchants of Song Wat board game and artist collective were invited to be featured at the Harvard Undergraduates in Asia Program (HUAP) @huapbkk Spring Program 2026, an international cultural exchange conference connecting students from Harvard University @harvard and partner universities across Asia. Under the 2026 theme “Catalyst for Change: Interdisciplinary Approaches for One Shared Future,” the project contributed to the conference dialogue through the subthemes Culture and Belonging and Empowerment through the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Originally developed as a site-specific installation and playable board game during Bangkok Design Week, Merchants of Song Wat explores the historic trading district of Song Wat Road, translating local heritage into an interactive experience. Through gameplay, participants step into the role of merchants navigating trade, resources, and partnerships — reflecting both the historical spirit of Thai commerce and contemporary ideas of sustainability and community-driven development. It was a pleasure for our artist collective to share this project with the Harvard University community. We would like to thank HUAP and Chulalongkorn University for organising the program in Bangkok and for the opportunity to present our work within this inspiring platform for cultural and intellectual exchange. #MerchantsofSongWat #HUAP #HarvardUniversity #BangkokDesignWeek #CulturalExchange #SDGLocalisation Artist Collective:

Presented during Bangkok Design Week 2026, Merchants of Song Wat transformed the historic Song Wat Road into a life-size playable board game and immersive art installation. Inspired by the district’s trading heritage and the story of Tuk Khaek, the exhibition invited visitors to step into the role of merchants—trading goods, and navigating the rhythms of commerce that shaped the neighbourhood. Through game mechanics, textiles, light, sound, and spatial installation, the work reinterpreted local history as a participatory cultural experience. The project was made possible through the collaboration of the artist collective, the Song Wat community, Play Art House, and Made in Song Wat. We are grateful to our partners and supporters, including the United Nations Development Programme Thailand UNDP, the European Union, PASAYA Lifestyle and partnership businesses, who helped bring the project to life. Together, this collaboration reflects how art, design, and community partnerships can activate historic urban spaces while engaging conversations around sustainability, cultural heritage, and the future of cities. From our artist collective, thank you to everyone who visited, played the game, shared stories, and became part of the journey during Bangkok Design Week 2026. #BKKDW2026 #BangkokDesignWeek #DesignSOS #MerchantsofSongwat #SDGLocalisation Artist Collective:

Merchants of Song Wat (Free Admission), part of Bangkok Design Week 2026, is an immersive installation using fabric, light, and sound, composed of two main parts: • Main installation: a life-size board game and fabric installation (upper level)
 • Board game play zone: an interactive game area integrated with the installation (lower level)
 The exhibition guides audiences through a multisensory art experience — first encountering the life-size board game, then stepping into the role of merchants along Song Wat Road by learning the game and its rules through active play. _ Artist Collective:  Pann Singharaj @pannsingharaj
