BOB the nice guy (Thailand)
Location: Next to the entrance of Marina Bay Link Mall 

BOB the nice world is a lightweight inflatable sculpture depicting a whimsical line-drawn character named BOB the nice guy who tells his story through playful moving images. BOB’s conspicuous presence at Marina Bay is intentionally disruptive. While he glows with positivity, behind his irresistibly cute charm lies a subtle but pressing sense of urgency as he calls for mindful action against the gloom of climate change.
