Can U Get Herpies From Dog

Contemporary Art in Bangkok

You live in the City of Angels, you've seen the countless temples, sumptuous malls of Siam, Chinatown, sailed on the Chao Praya played endless hours of pool, diverse wildlife viewing Khao San Road and drank gallons of beer Chang in bars. Saturday, day off. What to do?

I suggest you take a little trip to the National Gallery in Bangkok, an art gallery modest but nonetheless interesting. Permamente in the exhibition, you can also see a painting of King Rama IX (the present king). It was painted in the 60s and looks like Alfred Pellan for those who know. Very colorful and ... abstract.

Until 28 September you can admire the paintings of young Thai artists, an exhibition which will tour various provinces. Artworks (paintings, sculptures) are very original. For a brief moment, it looks like a mini Pompidou Centre. The National Gallery is located between the Royal Palace and Khao San Road, the artery to Chao Fa The cost of entry is only 30 baht for foreigners and 10 baht for Thais. If it is hot, enjoy the air conditioning!
