Khlong Bang Luang Artist House

Baan Sinlapin (Thai: บ้านศิลปิน), The Artist's House, is an art gallery and puppet theater located at 315 Wat Tong Salangam, Phet Kasem 28, Thanon Phet Kasem, Phasi Charoen, Bangkok, Thailand.[1] It was built more than 200 years ago. Baan Sinlapin once was the house of the Raksamruat family and the last heir of this family sold it to Mr. Chompol Arkkapantanon[2][3] who renovated it as an art gallery.[4]

Overview

The wooden building is L-shaped with two floors. The second floor is a large gallery space displaying both art work and photographs. The first floor is divided into different areas. Every Sunday, there is a free jewelry making class open to anyone interested. Tourists can buy souvenirs such as postcards from the sell zone.[2] There is also a puppet theater, with a show at 2 p.m. daily except on Wednesday.[5] The Artist's House is an important learning center for students or people who are interested in art work.[6][7]
