Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- Dennis KSan Francisco, CA93 contributionsFun collection of contemporary art pieces. Just the right size- not too big and not too small. The museum is artfully architectured. Ticket price is exceedingly reasonable at 280 baht.Written 18 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jonique LifeAustralia1,858 contributionsThis is free attraction, we quickly walked through and looked at some art work. There are many different rooms which have different art installations if you are interested in this sort of thing.

Think of it as a shopping mall, but instead of mainstream brands, it's filled with art galleries, exhibitions, and antique shops, making it a must-visit for art lovers.
We enjoyed browsing the diverse collection of works from both local and international artists. One standout was YAMADA, whose pieces caught our attention—we even picked up a postcard to give the kids a little fright back home!
The atmosphere was relaxed, and it was a great place to escape the heat while appreciating some truly unique art. If you're in the area and appreciate culture and creativity, River City Bangkok is well worth a visit!Written 16 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

This time we had our granddaughter with us. The puppets came to magical life through the skill of the puppeteers. The puppeteers are dressed in black and masked, so that the puppets' personalities dominate. At the end of the performance the puppets engaged with the audience. Our granddaughter received a lovely hug from one of them. A special experience. Incredibly, there is no charge for the puppet show, especially since the training and skill is high. You get to witness a Thai cultural performance at no charge!
I think The Artist's House is an marvellous place, it's like being in the country but right in the middle of a huge city. It's a quiet, cool spot in the middle of Bangkok and it's delightful to sit there on the coffee shop verandah, on the klong, and watch the boat traffic pass by and to see all the houses on stilts with their gardens and decor, so colourful and creative. Upstairs is the art for viewing or buying. I think we took about a million photos here.Written 21 February 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The permanent exhibition pieces is a little small in number and variety, and given the rather high price of admission (and difficulty of access, walking from the National Museum), this was a little disappointing.Written 16 December 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Kaushik GMumbai, India3,991 contributionsDuring my trip to Bangkok I was staying at Novotel Bangkok Silom Road Hotel at Silom and this Museum was located at a walking distance from my Hotel. Entrance to this place is free. I saw 2 big Thai houses showcasing Thai lifestyle and culture from the past. It was informative and truly interesting experience.Written 20 June 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Anton KuninParis, France72 contributionsThe collection of this museum is remarkable. I also liked the welcoming I received: I was taken around by a museum employee who was very polite and even gave me some explanations on the works of art. It's also interesting how this museums sits on top of offices: it's all one building dedicated to both offices and museum space. And, last but not least, it's free. It is true that it's far away from everything, but the taxi ride was worth it!Written 7 September 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Leru S111 contributionsVery impressive private collection of Thai erotic art, including some modern and some real antique exhibits. It's huge, took us a while to finish it. Definitely worth it!Written 4 March 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Friedrich FThailand79 contributionsAmazing Thai Art collection with special tour through the private home ( only Sunday’s upon reservation) with the owner joining for a tea. Eye opening for thai art and artists, history and modern. Something to remember a whole life. The music and dinner room majestic and calmingWritten 22 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- NorthsideBrisbane, Australia103 contributionsAn interesting look into the history of Thailand. Excellent facilities and exhibitions. The Rattanakosin Exhibition Hall Route 1 was very information and enjoyable. The guided tour took 2 hours to completed at 100 baht entry fee per person. Highly recommended when visiting Bangkok.Written 11 March 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- nrm77London, UK1,067 contributionsI always love collecting art and paintings from the far east, and on a recent visit to Bangkok, I was recommended Art Gallery at Soi 36 in Sukhumvit which was walking distance from my hotel, by the receptionist. I really liked some of the paintings and actually bought a small one to take back home with me. The shop is a small one and most of the work is by local artisans, which makes it all the more better for me. I really liked the painting of the owl in a light blue colour. The staff was very friendly and the environment was clean. Must visit if in the neighbourhood.Written 1 July 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
