A
Kathmandu Photo Gallery
Bangkok’s only gallery truly dedicated to photography is housed in an attractively restored Sino-Portuguese shophouse. The owner, photographer Manit Sriwanichpoom, wanted Kathmandu to resemble photographers’ shops of old, where customers could flip through photographs for sale. Manit’s own work is on display on the ground floor, and the small but airy upstairs gallery plays host to changing exhibitions by local and international artists and photographers.

Bangkok Art & Culture Centre (BACC)
This large, modern building in the centre of Bangkok is the most recent and promising addition to the city’s arts scene. To date, the compound’s three floors and 3000 sq metres of gallery space have played host to several high-quality exhibitions, but bureaucratic setbacks have delayed the library and art-related shops and restaurants slated for the rest of the structure.
