The light show, which has “Inspirational Illumination” as its theme, is open from Monday to Thursday between 6 and 10pm and from Friday to Sunday until 11pm. “The concept of the ‘Thailand Illumination Festival 2017’ was inspired by the Luminous Garden Lighting Festival in Japan, which each city holds during every winter, with their own distinct displays and styles. It has become one of Japan’s winter traditions," said Yuiji Matsuyama, president of Apollo (Thailand). “Therefore, we planned to organise this festival in Bangkok, creating a tourist attraction in the heart of the city to help promote the tourism industry in Thailand. The event features the exhibition, “The King of Our Heart”, a fabulous light and sound display presenting the royal compositions of His Majesty the late King.
