Ratchadamnoen Contemporary Art Center
หอศิลป์ร่วมสมัยราชดำเนิน
A contemporary Thai art centre in one of Ratchadamnoen Klang's long Art Deco blocks.
RCAC fills a building on the grand avenue between Democracy Monument and the Rattanakosin Exhibition Hall, with changing exhibitions of Thai contemporary art. It's an easy stop on a walk from the Golden Mount to Khao San. Shows change often, so check the RCAC Facebook page for what's on.
