Discovering Thai Art and Paintings in Bangkok

Rich in culture and history, the Thai capital is also a place where you can view a diverse array of Thai art and paintings which are very much part of the country’s heritage. The best way to experience the city and its artistic heritage is by staying at Bangkok serviced apartments in the heart of the capital. Offering centrally located Sukhumvit accommodation, Anantara Baan Rajprasong Bangkok is one such option that makes an ideal base for your travels.

Much of the traditional art in the country is inspired or based on Buddhism as can be seen in the many Buddhist temples. As you explore these sacred places you will come across intricate sculptures and paintings most of which depict the Buddha. One will also come across illustrations and paintings showing tales from the Jataka stories. Art lovers will find work from the Sukhothai period which dates back to the 14th century as well as the Ayutthaya and Bangkok periods, each with their own style. Of course Bangkok also has a dynamic contemporary arts scene and you will find galleries in the city that showcase these innovative works of art too.
