As an event designer from the College of Architecture at Suan Sunandha Rajabhat University—a place with a rich history as the former Suan Sunandha Palace—we focus on blending the beauty of traditional arts and culture with contemporary design. Our inspiration lies in reflecting the charm and heritage of Suan Sunandha Palace through uniquely crafted activities that bridge the past and the present. The aim is to create immersive experiences that allow participants to rediscover the elegance and intricacies of this historic site in a modern context.

“Samsen Heritage Walk” is inspired by the rich history and cultural diversity of the Samsen neighborhood, a place where communities from different backgrounds have coexisted for centuries. The tour weaves together the architectural splendor, artistic heritage, and everyday traditions of the area, offering participants a holistic view of Samsen’s unique charm. By highlighting local stories, sacred spaces, and culinary treasures, this experience celebrates the essence of a community that continues to thrive while honoring its historical roots.
