Dib Bangkok is a contemporary art museum Bangkok located on Soi Sukhumvit 40, between Rama IV Road and Sukhumvit, a short walk from BTS Phra Khanong and Ekkamai.
It is Thailand’s first major museum dedicated to international contemporary art, presenting a rotating program of global exhibitions alongside a collection spanning nearly 70 years. The name “Dib” is a Thai word meaning “raw” or “authentic” — reflecting both the building’s design and the museum’s aim to present contemporary art as a shared language across cultures. It was founded by Purat (Chang) Osathanugrah, with Dr. Miwako Tezuka as director.
The building was redesigned by Kulapat Yantrasast of WHY Architecture in collaboration with A49, preserving original industrial elements — exposed concrete pillars and traditional Thai-Chinese window grilles — within a contemporary frame. The layout follows a three-level spatial progression: a raw, industrial ground floor; a more intimate second level; and airy, skylit galleries on the third floor. Other architectural features include a central courtyard, a cone-shaped gallery known as The Chapel, an outdoor sculpture garden along the second-floor walkway, and a rooftop event space.
Admission is ticketed by category: ฿550 for Thai nationals, ฿700 for non-Thai visitors, ฿150 for students aged 7–18, ฿250 for students aged 19–22, and ฿150 for visitors with disabilities.
