Chiang Mai Now!

The Bangkok Art and Cultural Centre (BACC) is one of the coolest (architectural, artistic and air con wise) places in the capital and worthy of frequent visits.

Now is as good a time as any because the current Chiang Mai Now! exhibition is terrific. Full of fresh, original, quirky, irreverent and cheeky works - including paintings, sculptures, photographs installations and more - the exhibition reinforces Chiang Mai's reputation as a regional creative hothouse.

I really liked the ice cream stand display by the DOCUMENTARY team as well as the installation from the Chiang Mai Sunday Cycling Club. Another fave was the John and Yoko inspired "Art Is Over" photograph.

The massive graffiti wall on the circular walkway to the 9th floor is also eye-catching and a backdrop favourite with many snap happy visitors.
