Set inside a beautifully restored 103-year-old residence, Singhaklai House Art Gallery offers a layered and intimate cultural stop. Originally known as the OMF Missionary House and designed by Dr William A. Briggs, the building has been carefully restored by the Modchanapai Foundation and now functions as both a learning centre and art space. The structure itself is part of the experience, with its historic architecture and shaded verandas giving a continuity between past and present.
The setting feels warm and inviting, like stepping into a private home. Upstairs, changing exhibitions showcase works by national artists and established Thai names, alongside pieces that reflect the identity and landscape of Chiang Rai. Downstairs, the space opens up into a café, making it an easy place to spend time reading a good book.
Singhaklai House Art Gallery. 628 Singhaklai Road, Chiang Rai. 8am-5pm, closed Wednesday
