    One of a few art museums in Bangkok. Spot in center of busy Bangkok. Art related service like portrait sketching is available here. Creative and organic goods and ground floor and a coffee shop

    a weird center between the mall and the museum. Might be interesting, it depends on the current exhibition. The buddha collection of the museum (thai heritage) is truly interesting and worth seeing.

    In BKK during October '13? Go see the exposition on street photography. Grab a coffee downstairs by Gallery Drip Coffee. Nice people and really good coffee in a quirky setting.

    A great place to catch exhibitions by local artists. Entry is free. There are also some quirky cafes here. Interior of the building is almost similar to New York's Guggenheim. Worth a visit!

    Great shops, boutiques, and cafés—especially icedea, an ice cream concept shop. The museum exhibits and student art displays are captivating. Nice place to wander on a rainy day, or a good date night

    This place is great. Free admission and you get access to incredible works of modern Thai artists. All the stores have stuff crafted by local companies and artists too.

    Enjoy coming here to enjoy the free art. Located conveniently next to Siam Paragon and opposite MBK, the BACC is great for art lovers. Also one of the venues of Bangkok's first Art Biennale.

    Before u cross the bridge to the infamous MBK, stop here for some art. Painting, sculpture and music. Go to the first floor to get original paintings from young artists or your portrait made.

    Even though photos are not permitted in the 8th & 9th floor galleries, some exhibitions do allow photography, so you can still bring your camera.
