So the recent art weeks around Asia caught your inner muse and now you have a thirst for local art scenes? That’s understandable; Asia is on fire when it comes to its contemporary art scene and one of its creative hubs is the Thai capital, where rich tradition and culture, and an eclectic modern persona are the perfect fuel for artists of all disciplines.
Art for Life
Head to one of the city’s favourite boutique hotels, 137 Pillars Suites & Residences Bangkok, where the Art Rotation Series brings some of the hottest names from the Kingdom’s art world to the hotel through curated exhibitions that rotate every two months.
Taking things to the next level, the hotel has also created the Private Art Tour by 137 Pillars. The tour is the first of its kind in the city and is exclusively curated by Bangkok’s top art guru Panu Boonpipattanapong (Eddie) for the hotel. It invites guests with a heart for art to dive deeper into the local art scene with special access to locations most travellers never see.
Tours are conducted privately for a couple, or up to four persons maximum if joining with friends. The tours are also available for non-hotel guests, subject to availability.
An Insider’s Take
