Baan Chao Phraya Art Gallery is a heritage gallery in Bangkok, set inside a restored royal residence on the banks of the Chao Phraya River, on Phra Athit Road in Phra Nakhon. The building carries a layered history — it served as a royal residence, a home for Italian architect Mario Tamagno (designer of the Ananta Samakhom Throne Hall and Hua Lamphong Railway Station), a guesthouse for foreign dignitaries, and later the Provincial Police headquarters before falling into disuse.
PTT Group funded the full restoration and now operates the space as an art and learning venue. Exhibitions feature winning entries from the PTT Art Competition alongside rotating shows by established and emerging Thai artists.
The gallery also houses Café Amazon for Chance, a social enterprise café where hearing-impaired baristas work as part of an inclusive employment programme.
Accessible by Chao Phraya Express Boat to Tha Phra Arthit pier, and a short walk from Santi Chai Prakan Park and Phra Sumen Fort. Open Wednesday–Monday, 10:00–18:00 (closed Tuesdays and public holidays).

a week agoExcellent art gallery in Bangkok. The museum was free but you have to fill the registration book. It opens at 10am local time, and the place was very clean and comfortable.
