For emerging talents, visit La Luna Gallery (The New York Times, April 2008)


This rambling, two-story space showcase contemporary art from Thai, Malaysian Vietnamese and Burmese artists.  Everything from paintings to furniture and ceramics is on sale, and those on a budget will find the art extremely well priced.  Before you go, browse through the Web site to help you narrow your choice.  The owner is also quite chatty and informative.

After lunch, it is just a short walk to the opposite side of Charoenrat Road to visit La Luna, the most impressive contemporary art gallery in all of Thailand.

La Luna on Charoenrat Road is one of a growing number of contemporary art galleries opening in Chiang Mai.  This airy, open-plan space houses abstract works and photography from over South-east Asia.

Many thanks. We had a wonderful holiday in Thailand and its now wet, windy and cold in England. The receipt of the paintings will no doubt cheer us up and remind us of the time we spent in Chiang Mai.

I am glad to inform you that the painting has safely arrived at our apartment in the mountains. It is as beautiful as ever!!!

I recently received a painting from your gallery in the mail; it is of two monks robed in orange staring up at a giant, reclining Buddha. My girlfriend and I spent 10 days in Chiang Mai and had the good fortune of visiting your gallery. The painting immediately caught my attention when we visited, but I could not afford the painting. By surprise, my girlfriend got in touch with you and had it sent over. I wanted to thank you personally for shipping it. It is truly beautiful and looks fantastic on the wall. Many thanks!

Very vibrant, straightforward and honest art

It’s great. I see contemporary artists alive and well in Chiang Mai!

What a beautiful space, full of lovely items

Absolutely beautiful art pieces, sensitively displayed. I love this place, staff is professional, very interesting. Keep up the good work.

The paintings are awesome. Very artistic and beautiful.

Much feeling and emotions are conveyed by these “faceless’ women and children. Thank you for this great pleasure you have given me here(about paintings by Morrakot Naksin).

You rock, Mr. Jason(about artist Jason Tamthai)

The gallery as a space is fantastic. It is easy to see that the exhibits come from very talented people”.

Very nice to visit again and watch the developments that have taken place. Hope to come back soon again.
