To mark the first anniversary of King Bhumibol's passing and to commemorate his gracious kindness, three memorial exhibitions are set to take place at Siam Paragon, Rama I, this month.

Currently on display at the Jewel zone on the M floor is "From Tides … To Heaven", a sculpture exhibition inspired by his royal duties on water-resources development. It features replicas of water tides made from marigolds and the delicate patterns of Thai traditional art to reflect a tremendous sense of gratitude and loyalty Thai people have towards the king.

Set to take place at the Lifestyle Hall on the 2nd floor from Wednesday until Oct 22 is the "Prostration" exhibition featuring 18 works by veteran artist Thavorn Ko-udomvit, who incorporates painting and printing techniques to draw a portrait of the late king.
