พิพิธภัณฑ์ศิลปะไทยร่วมสมัย
Five marble floors of Thai contemporary painting north of the center — vast, quiet, and worth the taxi for art lovers.
The white-carved museum of Thai contemporary art on Vibhavadi — five floors of luminous, often surreal painting from the Chalermchai generation. Worth the taxi; give it two hours.
