Koktail Konversations Ep. 1: Photobooth, or the “Lost Art,” Now a Community Space with Sculpture Museum

Find out how Sculpture Bangkok is transforming the photobooth from a nostalgic pastime into a cultural space for creativity. And no, it’s not just for Gen Z, it’s for every generation!

We’re back with Koktail Konversations, our space for meaningful exchanges, fresh ideas, and the discussions over a variety of topics. This time, we’ve given things a little revamp, making it more youthful while keeping the same Koktail spirit of cultured and conscious conversation.

For our first episode, we are with Sarit “Pea” Trilertvichien and Luksika “Pyn” Jiradarakul, the creative duo behind Sculpture Bangkok, the brand that brought photobooth culture back to Thailand and turned it into a phenomenon (again).

Not Just a Photobooth

When asked what a photobooth means to them, Pea and Pyn didn’t hesitate to define the term in their own ways. For them, Sculpture has never been about simple snapshots, it’s about capturing memories in forms that are playful, classic, or even thought-provoking.

Pea shared.

Pyn added,

This ethos has driven Sculpture’s growth into something far bigger than a machine for photos. Their newest space, Sculpture Museum, reimagines the photobooth as a place where art, community, and memory intersect, right in the middle of Siam Square.

A Vertical Playground for Creativity

Why open another branch in the same neighbourhood? For Pea and Pyn, Siam Square has always been the heartbeat of their audience. But instead of expanding sideways, they looked upward. The result: a three-floor flagship where each level unlocks a new kind of experience. From the surreal Egg Booth to the nostalgic Jukebox Booth and the playful Mini House Booth, the building is designed as a walk-through art space, combining installation, play, and photography.

When Sculpture first launched, the idea of a photobooth felt almost outdated. Smartphones had made selfies the norm. Yet by reviving this “lost art,” they created a movement that connected with Gen Y and Gen Z.

Now, six years on, they’ve taken the concept further, transforming it into a community hub for culture, art, and shared experiences. And while their spaces have become cool spots for younger crowds, the founders insist it’s never about targeting one generation.

Pyn explained.

Behind the Lens with Koktail

Before the official launch, Koktail caught up with Krit “PP” Amnuaydechkorn and the rising boy group PERSES, who were among the first to explore the booths and play with the experiences inside. 

A Creative Playground for Every Generation

The journey of Sculpture Museum begins with surreal and playful installations such as the Egg Booth and Claw Machine Booth, combining art with a sense of nostalgia. As visitors move through the upper levels, the experience becomes more interactive, from drawing directly onto the lens to choosing frames that respond to music or exploring new perspectives through vertical and wide-angle setups.

At the top, surprises like the Mini House Booth and Gashapon Booth continue the theme of whimsy and discovery, while features such as the Wishing Fountain invite visitors to interact and reflect in new ways. It’s proof of how a photobooth can evolve into a full-scale cultural experience.

As Pea summed it up:
