Visitor Reviews

I love that it is free to enter! I hope that in the near future the centre still won't charge any fees because this place is cool and might be in the list of young travelers. Those who might be on tight travel budget😌 highly recommend visitors to buy souvenirs in here. The style varieties, colors, materials are amazing and trendy. Affordable price also! Inside there are cool, artistic and phenomenal exhibitions and worth to stroll around, admire them and then sit down for some light snacks, drinks. Opening time is quite late though, at 10 AM so visitors can sleep in a little and check this out no worries hurries💯

A great place to go if you’re into arts. I wasn’t able to appreciate it fully because I’m not really into arts. However, I enjoyed the bunch of cafes located both at the 1st and 3rd floors. Art materials are also sold in various floors. Overall, great experience and I would definitely recommend it to art lovers out there.

Gigantic arts building near National Stadium, attracting half a million visitors every year. The changing exhibitions on the upstairs floors are fascinating and well curated. Great place for any art lover to spend a day!

Tips for Visiting Temples & Culture

Dress Modestly

Cover shoulders and knees at all temples. Carry a light scarf or sarong — some temples lend wraps, but not all. Shoes come off before entering any building with a Buddha image.

Mind Your Feet

Never point your feet at a Buddha image or a monk — it's considered deeply disrespectful. When sitting inside a temple, tuck your feet behind you or to the side.

Ask Before Photographing

Exterior photos are almost always fine, but some interior halls prohibit photography. Look for signs, and never pose irreverently with Buddha images — it's a legal offense in Thailand.
