A RIVERSIDE SANCTUARY OF DESIGN AND ART
December 2024
|Architecture + Design
Perched along the Chao Phraya River, Capella Bangkok is an urban sanctuary crafted by Hamiltons International and BAMO, with art by Thai textile artist Ploenchan 'Mook' Vinyaratn-blending with Bangkok's cultural heartbeat to offer an experience that is both timeless and refined

As you step into Capella Bangkok, the River of Gold shimmers to life before you—a golden fabric unfurling with intricate patterns, a quiet yet profound ode to the Chao Phraya River’s relentless flow. Crafted by the visionary Thai textile artist Ploenchan ‘Mook’ Vinyaratn, this piece doesn’t just hang; it pulses, reflecting Bangkok’s lifeblood in strands of gold that seem to ripple with the river’s timeless whisper. Here, art isn’t confined to walls—it breathes, moves, and envelops you, pulling you into a tapestry of myth and memory.
Mook, a maestro of fabric, draws you into a tactile dreamscape, where threads are woven as if by the hands of spirits, each one holding the weight of centuries. Known for her extraordinary approach to textile art, she has turned Beyond Living, her conceptual firm, into a place where fabrics tell stories and the textures of life unfold in lush, surreal landscapes.
