Bangkok Art & Culture Centre

It’s an amazing center where you can delight your eyes with beautiful art. I was impressed by how they support young artists by showcasing their work. It was also enjoyable to find some great art items for sale. Both the shops and galleries were fantastic. I couldn't help but feel like there are more opportunities to make this place vibrant or more inviting. Little cold. Toilet were bad though. And the lockers were crazy old.

Free art space with local vibes Easy to get to from the BTS, and parking is available. Don’t expect a fancy art gallery, but the atmosphere is nice and chill. You’ll often find interesting photo exhibitions by local artists — once I even saw a quirky display of cups in unusual shapes 😄 What makes it feel truly Thai is the food – there’s something to eat on almost every floor. Worth a visit if you’re nearby!

A fun and inspiring space where artists can show off their work. No entrance fee — you’re free to wander through the exhibition areas, cafes, restaurants, and some little souvenir shops. It’s also a great spot that gives young artists and students the chance to be creative and share their talent 🙏

Bangkok Art and Culture Centre is a refreshing cultural escape in the heart of the city. The architecture itself is stunning, and inside you'll find rotating exhibitions of contemporary Thai and international art, photography, design, and more. It’s peaceful, free to enter, and offers a great mix of creativity and inspiration. There are also small cafes and art shops tucked inside, giving it a vibrant, community feel. A must-visit for art lovers or anyone looking to experience Bangkok’s modern creative scene.

Free entry, parking at B1 and B2 (first two hours are free if you stamp your parking ticket at level 5). There’s a LOT to see, from students work and graduates to dedicated rooms for other artists, I spent 2 hours here but you could easily wander around for the entire day, especially when participating and watching live performances (which I didn’t do or see). There are some places for food and drinks. I think it’s best to start at the top and work your way down, but you’re free to go in any direction :)

This is a fine museum. It’s connected to a few malls via sky bridge. You can’t beat go shopping, eat, and see art. There are exhibits from students and professional artists. Inside the museum are stalls to purchase pieces directly from the maker, cafes, noodle shops, and smaller galleries. It’s free and a peaceful break from the heat outside.

As I was walking rather aimlessly through the bustling streets of the Pathum Wan area on my last day in the city, I found myself right in front of the Bangkok Art & Culture Centre. It was one of those days dedicated to doing anything that looked interesting—I had no particular agenda. The Centre is massive, spread across seven floors, with plenty of little shops and several exhibitions running at the time. I also stumbled upon a lovely reading room that doubles as a bookstore focused on Southeast Asian literature. They had an intriguing collection, and the space itself felt just right for someone looking to quietly read and explore the region’s art and culture. The BACC is a great stop for anyone interested in exhibitions, installations, and contemporary art in Bangkok. From what I gathered, they also feature artists from across Southeast Asia and perhaps even beyond. If you have some time in your itinerary, I’d definitely recommend a visit. It’s best to check their website or social media beforehand to see what’s on—or better yet, go with a local guide who can give you some context before you step into what can feel like an overwhelming (but exciting) space with lots happening at once.

The centre was full of life and creativity. Loved the rotating installations — especially one where lights and motion sensors were used to create sound! Only issue: some staff didn’t seem very helpful or approachable.
