Time Out says

Located in Chatuchak district, the Museum of Contemporary Thai Art stands as a stunning example of design and artistry. The building features delicately carved stone in the form of jasmine vine patterns, symbolising Thailand's rich cultural heritage. Its perforated structure allows sunlight to stream through, creating ever-changing moods throughout the day. The museum spans five floors, each dedicated to a different aspect of art. The ground floor houses a permanent exhibition space, while the second floor is dedicated to contemporary Thai works. The third floor showcases art inspired by dreams and imagination. The fourth floor hosts further permanent displays and the top floor presents international exhibitions. This striking museum offers a diverse and immersive experience in Thai and global art.

What’s on

Golden Teardrop

Arin Rungjang's solo project starts with Thong Yod – those traditional Thai golden drops – and spins them through sculpture and film until they become something altogether more questioning. What begins as dessert transforms into a meditation on how we remember, how culture shifts and how history's so-called truths often deserve a proper interrogation. Golden teardrops hang suspended like falling rain throughout the exhibition, whilst stories from distant lands flow together in ways that blur boundaries between past and present. It's essentially about the fluidity of narrative – how memories from different eras can suddenly converge and reshape our understanding of what actually happened. Rungjang's work asks you to reconsider the weight of time itself, using something as humble as a sweet treat to unlock bigger questions about cultural inheritance and collective memory.  Until February 15, 2026. B300 at the door. MOCA Bangkok, 10am-6pm
