Art and Antiques Zone

Discover authentic Thai culture in Section 7 of Chatuchak Weekend Market, where original art and rare antiques await curious visitors.

Brief History: This section became a creative hub in the 1990s when local artists and antique collectors began setting up stalls here to showcase traditional Thai artwork, Buddhist statues, and rare collectibles. Notable Features: The area features narrow lanes adorned with oil paintings, wood-carved Buddha figures, vintage vinyls, and ceramics. Many pieces reflect traditional Thai aesthetics, Buddhist iconography, and modern interpretations of folklore. Fun Fact: Some art sold here has made its way to international galleries and collectors. Artists often paint live or are open to commissions. Current Use: Tourists enjoy browsing, chatting with artists, and purchasing one-of-a-kind artwork. Photography is allowed, but always ask first.
