Many variation of art in Thailand, Thai art are offered.

Fantasy art is very popular in the comics, the TV, and all kind of media. Art reproduction is a growing business, you can find many art shops in Patong Beach and Phuket Town who do reproduction painting of all kind of old master painting like Van Gogh and many others, plus  Mondrian, Klimt, Warhol and dozens of others. The quality of the paintings is not the best but if you keep distance of maybe a meter you wont hardly see the details.

But don't let them fool you, the guys you see painting in the shops are usually not the ones who did the painting of the artwork on display, in most art shops the "painters" are there only for show to give the "farang" this are the "white" people the impression they buy the paintings from the artists who sit around in the art shop. Actually most of the paintings on display are produced elsewhere in a almost industrial manner. You can see this very easily as almost all paintings in all the art shop are the same.

Thai modern art very often centers on Buddha portraits in a very new fashion way, naturally there are some abstract art attempts, its difficult to say something since everyone interprets his own ideas into it.

There are plenty of unique painting creations of beautiful flower composition art, maybe with some lotus flowers, orchids, native landscape and quite a lot of Chinese art painting themes.

Religious art is as usual centered around Buddha in various expressions like abstract and conservative. 

Animation art via the computer / TV is a upcoming subject especially since the offspring of a top politician went into this business and got naturally requested funding.

Buddhist art is done since centuries and the outcome is mostly really beautiful painting and sculpturing.

Tattoo art and tattoo body art pls. check our tattoo section.

Thais are very creative in visual arts and erotic arts, just go in some galleries along the main streets in Patong Beach or maybe around the Oriental Hotel in Bangkok, plenty of galleries offer everything on this theme.

Art Photography, sometimes is shown in some shopping centers like the world trade center in Bangkok and others, consult the daily English newspaper like The Nation and Bangkok Post or maybe the in-flight magazine of Thai International Airways

Art in Thailand, Thai art is a piece of beauty.
