I'll bet the art is crap.

Don't get this wrong sprq, you would be surprised by thai people potential in art. I have organized some art exhibition in Bangkok and the art market and thai talents are booming lately.

Take a look at Adler Subhashok Gallery for example, they often have some very interesting exhibitions there.

Modern art is a new market still for now in Thailand, oppositely to classical pieces featuring Buddha or Elephants or Royal family paintings. However, the demand in modern art pieces is fast growing and the value of the works is fast increasing.
