Tai Yuan Art Gallery

Wonderful little gallery of art work by Mr Chalong Pinitsuwan. Mr Chalong is a very friendly, polite and humble person. He greeted me at the entrance and showed me around, and explained (in Thai) his passion for art, work and methods, and the deeper meaning which he wanted to express in several works. Mr Chalong created several pointillism-style drawings with thousands of dots from a ballpoint pen, which was painstaking and took him several months to complete. He said that he is motivated by passion for his work. His gallery display also included a few art works by other artists such as the late Thawan Duchanee (creator of Baan Dam Museum/Black House Museum). I was told that Mr Chalong had received drawings from Mr Thawan as a present on the opening of his gallery many years ago. Mr Chalong is a musician as well. He showed and played a tune for me on a reed instrument from the Dai/Tai prefecture Sipsongpanna (Xishuangbanna) in Yunnan, Southern China. He played very well. I was amazed by Mr Chalong's art works, and can recommend his gallery to all art lovers. There is no entrance fee. Visitors can support the gallery with a donation. There is a donation box to the left of the entrance.

A peacefully creative and talented artist. Chalong Pinitsuwan exemplifies the art of patience and beauty in each one of his works. We were blessed to spend the better part of our day purveying work with his personal guidance. We thank him for his contributions to the world, and pray for his continues flow of energy.

Regretfully, was closed when I tried to visit, and there's no opening schedule, so I don't think it has to be treated as a Gallery - rather, it's a home and workshop of one of Thailand’s National artists.
