Why should you go there and how do you do it right?

Patience pays off here. This small gallery is located in Chiang Mai's old city, on Khang Ruan Jum Road in Si Phum, and is ideal for travelers who prefer to take five minutes to contemplate a work of art rather than snapping a photo and moving on. The exhibited works blend traditional Thai and Buddhist imagery with contemporary elements and are closely connected to the local art scene. Those in a hurry, expecting a tuk-tuk between Wat Chedi Luang and Wat Phra Singh, should skip the gallery. It's not worth seeing.

What I like about this place is its spaciousness. After the enormous temple complexes and their carriage rides, a space that you can cross in just a few steps feels like a welcome relief. Late afternoon is the best time to visit, when it gets a bit cooler in the old city and you can easily walk here from any accommodation within the city moat.
