The Meeting Room Art Gallery

Tucked into the Phra Singh area of Chiang Mai's historic old city, this small but thoughtfully curated gallery sits opposite the Phra Singh Post Office on Samlarn Road, next to Postcard Hotel Chiang Mai. Owner Jo runs the space with a genuine commitment to supporting young and local artists, creating an environment that feels personal and community-driven rather than commercial. The gallery presents a wide range of artistic styles and regularly rotates exhibitions, meaning repeat visitors are likely to find something new each time. Despite its compact size, the space manages to pack in a surprising amount of work, and visiting artists are occasionally present in person — giving visitors the rare opportunity to engage directly with the creators behind the pieces. Jo is frequently praised by visitors for being welcoming and knowledgeable, and the gallery doubles as a shop, making it a practical stop for those looking to take home something original from Chiang Mai. A standout personal touch is Jo's aquatic plant collection, which several visitors highlight as an unexpected delight. As opening hours are not publicly listed, it is worth checking locally or asking at a nearby hotel before making a dedicated trip. Given its small size, the gallery is best suited to those who enjoy an intimate, unhurried browsing experience rather than a large-scale exhibition space.
