Basically, Art fairs exhibit only one form of Art.

Bangkok is known for its many tourist’s attractions, delicious cuisine, rooftop bars and nightlife with a twist, not to mention all the activities on offer. But who put Art and culture high up on that list? Most foreigners don’t know that Bangkok has a vibrant art community and there are exhibitions all over the town throughout the year, some of which are recognized by the international art community. Unfortunately, mainstream media and most tour operators don’t advertise art and culture as they do other activities. Here, we bring at least little justice to Bangkok’s thriving art community with our the top five must-see exhibitions in Bangkok.

1. At Homes

This is a solo exhibition by Orn Thongthai that reflects on the significance of the home. What does the term home mean? What people hear when someone tells them about their home? Is it something more than a state of mind, a routine that is part of our DNA, or it has to do with the people we return to daily? The exhibition explores all that and goes a step beyond that. This exhibition can be found at the YELO house.

2. Among The Shades

This is an exhibition by

You can see sculptures made out of various metals like bronze and silver.  Most sculptures are made out of stone. You will be delighted to hear that there are also sculptures made out of the sand. Visiting the beach itself is an exciting experience and you cannot imagine the delight for the visitor when they see the whole beach shore is filled with sculptures made from numerous materials and displayed prominently.  

Every year the festival of sculptures take place on a beach in a different country.  In 2019, the festival is planned for Cottesloe beach, Perth, Australia.  It will be one of the largest exhibitions held outdoors. The duration is from March 1st to March 18th, 2019.

Even in galleries, one can enjoy only the sculptures.  But when located on a beach, the visitor can feel more connected. The beauty of the sculptures looks better when surrounded by the blue waters, waves, greenery and vast sky; such is the power of the location and surroundings.

Originally this festival started as an outdoor exhibition so that the visitor not only connects them elves with the sculpture but to the surroundings as well. This festival displayed along 4 kilometers
