Gallery: Bangkok's Balloon Art World Challenge

Forget the sausage balloon dog made by Bozo the Clown, these guys create massive dragons, geishas and even Warhol's Marilyn Monroe
 
Balloon Art World This purple dragon, created by competitors in the Balloon Art World Challenge last week, will be on display at Central World until October 14.

Even the most jaded of kids would be impressed with the artists who competed in this year’s Balloon Art World Challenge at Bangkok’s Central World last week.

The annual international competition, which handed out US$26,000 in prize money, featured balloon decorators from all over the world. Competition challenges included the Balloon Hat Contest, One Man Balloon Contest and the Duo Creative Balloon Contest.

Check out our gallery above for some of the event highlights. One warning: You won't look at a simple balloon poodle the same way again.
