Why go, and how to do it well

Tucked away near Yanui Beach in the Rawai area of Phuket, Kampon Art Gallery is a working studio and gallery run by a local artist renowned for his skill with color, form, and portraiture. Far removed from the busy tourist centers of the island, it offers a genuinely personal encounter with Thai artistry — visitors can browse existing works or commission original paintings directly from the artist himself.

What sets this gallery apart is the opportunity to engage with Mr. Kampon as both an artist and a teacher. Private art classes are available for those looking to develop their own skills, and the studio has a reputation for accommodating commission requests with care and speed — even last-minute orders before departure. Visitors consistently describe the works as emotionally striking, and the overall experience as intimate and unhurried.

Reviews from Google

Kampon Art Gallery is a true hidden treasure in Rawai. I'm so grateful that I found this lovely place. The artist is incredibly talented, his artworks just leave you speechless. I had the chance to order two portraits - one as a birthday present for my teenage daughter and another one as a Christmas gift for my little niece who lives in Europe. Both were stunningly beautiful and just brought me to tears. If you have a chance, do not hesitate to visit this cozy art place. You'll be warmly greeted by the artist and his lovely wife and kids. They are such a nice and friendly family. For those who want to ship their painting or travel with it, they pack it very well. The portrait that I sent to Europe arrived in perfect condition. 👍 Thank you for your beautiful artworks and kind service. 🙏 See you again!

My daughter has been taking private art classes with Mr. Kampon for the last few months and so far it has been an awesome experience. He is not only an outstanding artist, but a great teacher as well.  She has learnt so many new things here. She has even just finished her first ever portrait that she is so proud of! I highly recommend the art classes to all who love painting and want to improve their skills. The place has a cosy, homey vibe, and the whole family is super kind and friendly. It's all worth it!

If I could, I would give him 10 stars instead of him! Mr. Kampon is a very talented painter. He works masterfully with both colors and shapes. When I look at the painting, my heart is always filled with light and love. Thank you very much and I will get back tou you!😀🙏😀

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.
