Why go, and how to do it well
Tucked along Huay Kaew Road within easy walking distance of MAYA shopping center, this intimate gallery occupies a dedicated space for cross-cultural artistic exchange between Thailand and neighboring Myanmar. It operates as a genuine platform for regional voices, regularly hosting exhibitions by Burmese and Thai artists — including works by internationally recognized figures such as award-winning Burmese filmmaker and artist Sai Kway Khaing.
What sets this gallery apart is its rotating program of exhibitions, meaning repeat visits are genuinely rewarding as the displayed works change frequently. The atmosphere is welcoming and unhurried, with visitors noting the warmth and attentiveness of the gallery's staff. It has also served as a venue for international artist exchange programs, with groups from as far as South Korea participating in collaborative exhibitions — giving the space a lively, internationally connected character that goes beyond a typical regional gallery.
As opening hours are not publicly listed, visitors are advised to contact the gallery directly before making a trip, or check in with local accommodation for current schedules. Given its location in the Chang Phueak area of central Chiang Mai, it pairs well with a broader afternoon exploring the Nimman or MAYA neighborhood. Entry pricing is not specified, so it is worth confirming any admission details ahead of time.

Reviews from Google
We are from South Korea. As part of a long international exchange with Thai artists, we are holding an exhibition. I am deeply moved by the kindness of the officials, including Mama, the director here, Look Comb, the exclusive artist, and Professor Upa, the representative of Thailand at this event, and I am deeply grateful for the cooperation.

Tips for Visiting Temples & Culture
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.
Go Early Morning
Big-name temples are dramatically less crowded in the first hour after opening. You'll also avoid the worst of the midday heat and get softer light for photos.
