Every day at 7pm the 3D Mapping Extraordinaire performance is repeated with images projected onto The Emporium and The EmQuartier’s facades.
For the gala opening celebration, the light show was accompanied by a fireworks show accompanied by music from symphony orchestras.
Slated as “the biggest World Mapping Showcase in Asia” it is held in collaboration with Advanced Info Service, Bangkok Bank, Bangkok Airways, Bangkok Dusit Medical Services, Muang Thai Life Assurance and Oishi Group.
