    Beautiful shop. Amazing people. I wanted to buy everything!!! Please shop here. Wonderful in every way. Colourful and brilliantly crafted. Far better than night market.

    Diverse and exquisite
    This private gallery is stunning. The building is beautiful and the art diverse and exquisite. The artist lives next door and was in the gallery when I visited. He is friendly and well-travelled. I ended up being invited to an opening. A visit here would be easy to combine with a visit to Wat Umong which is quite unique as well.

    Best Thai Art Shop in Chiang Mai
    I visited this shop back in 2011, and can say that it sells the nicest Thai art from local artists in all of Chiang Mai. The prices are good considering the quality, and the service is excellent. Late last year I ended up damaging one of the pieces that I had purchased back in 2011, so I shipped it back to this shop for repair. It was repaired by the original Thai carver, and I received it back looking better than ever. This shop also does an extremely good packing job, so don't worry if you purchase something that looks really fragile - it should make it around the world just fine with their packaging. I would have no hesitation to purchase from them again.

    A true patron of Burmese art
    I visited this wonderful Burmese art gallery late December 2014. But it is never too late to give credit to its owner Mar Mar and her kind assistant ( a painter too).
    I bought 2 beautiful paintings by a Burmese artist and my son acquired one from another painter.
    We paid 2 visits to the gallery and the owner couldn't be more knowledgeable and proud of her wonderful Burmese collection.
    The exhibits were ranging from 20th century impressionists to modern and contemporary Burmese artists. I had already been very impressed by Myanmar artists on a trip the previous year.
    The gallery itself, over two floors is charming and inspiring. It is situated on a road that runs along the Ping river, between two bridges and therefore walking distance from Chiang Mai centre.
    Upon returning home to my country, there was another painting that I had seen at the gallery, turning round and round in my head. I emailed Mar Mar and she had it shipped.
    Her website deserves to be visited and so does the gallery if you go to Chiang Mai.

    Incredible Art Experience
    Y'all! Where to even begin? We love to buy art from local artists when we travel. We purchased work from JOJO KOBE Art Gallery in 2015 -- two of which were screen prints from an artist named Kitikong. Fast forward to this current trip in 2022 and we happen to stumble into C.A.P. Studio based off of proximity to where we happened to be at the time. Immediately the experience is amazing -- a super nice guy takes us around the four-story building telling us all about the studio and its artists. On one of the floors, artists were actually in the middle of the creative process. We decided we are going to buy pieces from this place, so two of the folks working there start pulling out piece after piece of incredible artwork. We narrow it down to three pieces -- and ultimately choose work from an artist from Bangkok (Thanonchai Sornsriwichai) that had done a residency at C.A.P. Studio. They start to wrap up the piece are going to purchase and the owner of the studio comes down and starts chatting with us and shares the super cool story about the artist who created the piece we just purchased. We share our little art story from our last visit in Chiang Mai and the owner says...that's me, I am Kitikong. Y'ALL!!!! My husband and I both weep when we re-tell this story. It was such a wild and wonderful experience for us...I mean what are the odds? Both pieces are at the framers and we cannot wait to add these incredibly special pieces to our home.

    as cosy sunken world right at the heart of Chiang Mai
    a very cosy place, located at a quiet soi in the heart of the old CM quarter, surrounded by romantic backyard streets and easy walking to the night bazaar.
    very lovely atmosphere, a great breakfast and wonderful personal service, every room tastefully decorated and fully equipped by the owner who runs an art gallery at the place.

    great experience
    Very interesting. My aunty took me here. It was very hot outside but it was a very good experience and okay inside. Dressing and trying on the costumes, looking at knick knacks whilst drinking many cups of tea. Apparently theres a story of one person sitting and enjoying company for more than a few hours! The owner and his wife are very kind, and he is a fantastic storyteller who aims to communicate as best he could (in English) the different types of tea. trying pu'er was pretty good. owner prefers one on one and small groups of quietly chatting than big crowds. great if you got a few hours to sit and enjoy company. stay for an hour, possibly recommend several, even more!

    Wonderful place
    I stayed in this hotel, not far from Lanna Expo.

    I waked up and went to the exhibition center easily.

    Cool little gallery and art shop
    This is a small space with some art and decor. It's more of an art shop than a gallery, with post cards, prints and decorations for sale. There's a spiritual, optimistic vibe to this pace. Make sure to take off your shoes before entering.

    Noina is a wonderful light in this world. I encourage you to check out her shop. She is an amazing artist and is well versed in the culture and history of Chiang Mai.

    Great modern art gallery at an university lecturer's home
    This art gallery is near Wat Umong in a village like setting, and the tuktuk driver will manage to find it for you. I really liked this space, the artwork (I bought a painting) and the owner. I wish I could upload some pics
