ถนน กำแพงเพชร 6, Khwaeng Lat Yao, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon

The Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) of Bangkok houses a collection of modern and contemporary paintings and sculptures, mostly by Thai artists. The building design suggests a carved block of granite with perforations to let natural light in. The first floor also welcomes temporary exhibitions.

Access & Transport

The museum is in the northern Chatuchak district, 14km from Siam Square. It is walking distance from the Bang Khen station on the red train line and the closest BTS and MRT stations are Mo Chit and Phahon Yothin (blue), respectively

Instructions & Recommendations

Meta review

Seldom listed by travel bloggers but well regarded by online reviewers who have made the effort to go there, many by taxi (it is recommended to have the address written in Thai with you as not every driver will know the place). Most visitors enjoy the cool and unique artworks that are clearly influenced by the local culture (the Buddhist theme is omnipresent) and the non-crowded floors. Many rate it as "a must see for anyone interested in Thailand’s art and culture"

Environmental & Social

No environmental data available about the building that was purposely constructed, which is resources intensive. Helps spread the arts

Conclusion

If your referential is western contemporary art, you are in for a change of scenery and the opportunity to discover national and regional talent. Recommended for art lovers and worth visiting if you have spare time for everybody else.
