Art, Museums and Café Culture in Bangkok

If you scratch the surface of Bangkok's thriving arts and café scene, you may be surprised at what you find. Beyond the shopping malls, restaurants, and party atmosphere are several places placing Bangkok as a city of culture. The most notable venue for art displays, exhibitions and installations is the Bangkok Art & Culture Centre (BACC). The BACC is a permanent fixture and hosts events throughout the year, including family and children's programs, photography displays, exhibitions and lectures from local and international artists. If you'd like to find a display or exhibition that coincides with your Bangkok trip, visit the BACC website. There are also a number of cafes that feature artworks as part of the design, including Art Café by Brown Sugar, Stella Art Café and Gallery Drip Coffee, which is located at the Bangkok Art & Culture Centre. The number of cafes that encompass various art forms as part of the overall aesthetic are far too numerous to mention in a concise blog post, and sometimes, the best ones are found by chance as you traverse the city streets. If you like to plan in advance, various Social Media pages are a great place to start, with many cafes having their own pages.

Whether you embrace the art scene through Instagram, museums or prefer more conventional art galleries, Bangkok has the perfect venue.
