Here's how you can pitch in. 

Local crowdfuding startup Asiola is on a mission to transform the BTS into a mobile art installation.

Dubbed "Universal Connections," the project aims to break up the overwhelming amount of advertising around us by wrapping the inside and outside of a BTS train with a huge piece of artwork.

It's the brainchild of Wonderfruit founder Pete Phornpraphra and contemporary artist Ajarn Kamin Lertchaiprasert, who have designed a piece inspired by fractal geometry that tells the story of our spiritual and physical understanding of life and the universe.

But the project needs money to make it a reality, which is why it's currently crowdfunding for financial support. 

So far, it has raised B1,535,200—or 60% of its goal of B2,600,000. Those interested in pitching in can do so here, for which you'll receive rewards including exclusive Rabbit cards, T-shirts, silkscreen prints by Kamin and, of course, the likelihood to see this project come to life. 

If the funding goal is met, you'll be able to see the "Universal Connections" train hit the BTS by July.

Asiola is a Thai crowdfunding platform led by CEO Jon Lor that raises money for creative projects in the country. Other ongoing campaigns right now include a travel documentary about elephants in Surin and a project to support Thailand's coconut farms.
