In The Chakrabhand Posayakrit Exhibition, a retrospective showcase of National Artist Chakrabhand Posayakrit's works, we get the rare chance to view the legendary artist’s original paintings alongside Thai puppets from the artist’s private collection. The exhibition is so massive that the pieces will be rotated on a four-month basis.

Please note that proper attire is required. The space isn’t air-conditioned, and no parking space is provided (but you can park at Big C Ekkamai mall across the street for B30/hour).

The exhibition acts as a prequel to the opening of a permanent museum facility in Saimai next year. The museum will also feature a puppet theater.

Before going to the concert, listen to some of his hit songs like "Movie," "Crazy Dream," and "In The Midst Of It All." If you are a fan, don't miss the gig.
