Time Out says

What is it? A long-standing riverside hub for art and antiques that draws collectors and enthusiasts from Bangkok and well beyond. River City packs a run of galleries with rotating exhibitions, many of them sticking around for a good while, alongside four floors of shops trading in art, antiques and rare collectibles.

Why we love it: The appeal lies in the sheer breadth on offer. You can move between galleries showing all sorts of styles and mediums, taking in contemporary and traditional work in a single visit, then turn your attention to the shops if a rare find is more your thing. Spreading across four floors gives the place real depth, so serious buyers and curious browsers get plenty to sift through without bumping into the same thing twice. The mix of exhibitions and trade keeps the atmosphere busy and purposeful, and the riverside setting makes the whole outing feel like a proper occasion. For anyone chasing genuine art and artefacts in the city, it remains a reliable first port of call.

Time Out tip: Many of the exhibitions run for extended stretches, so you needn't rush a visit to catch them. Pair your wander with the riverside location and arrive by boat for an easier, more scenic approach.

Charoen Krung 24. Open Monday-Sunday, 10am-8pm. Entry is free, though ticket prices vary for special exhibitions.

What’s on

Explore pet memories, rituals and grief across 1,000 moving square metres

For anyone who has shared a home with a pet, Beyond the Rainbow offers a thoughtful look at the bond formed through everyday routines, from the first hello to the difficult goodbye. Spread across more than 1,000 square metres, the exhibition has three experiential zones: a Memory Wall, playful recreations of familiar pet rituals and a quieter section developed with psychologists to explore grief and self-care. Pets are welcome in strollers or carriers, so your four-legged companion can come too. Tickets are available at the door, with no advance time slot required. September 18-November 22. B150-200 via here. River City Bangkok. 10am-8pm

Until Nov 22, 2026

STILL : ON

Munins’ solo exhibition STILL : ON at River City Bangkok explores the work going on behind our thoughts, memories, emotions and decisions. Three processes shape the show: Emotion Encoding, how emotional experiences are recorded; Signal Selection, what we choose to retain; and Neural Pathway, how we see and make sense of what’s in front of us. Familiar moments of tiredness, confusion and quiet reflection connect those processes to everyday life. The artist also considers the changes happening around us, from accelerating technology and information to the human impact on the environment. The invitation is to slow down and consider what your mind is doing, even when you think nothing much is going on. October 2-November 15. Free entry. RCB Galleria 5, River City Bangkok. Daily 10am-8pm.

Until Nov 15, 2026

A Place We Share

Kitti Narod returns for his first solo exhibition in Thailand in five years with A Place We Share at Tang Contemporary Art. The familiar 9:16 proportions of a phone screen become large canvases filled with everyday scenes, pets, gender diversity, marriage equality and reworked mythology. His elongated figures and soft pastel colours turn ordinary moments and personal vulnerabilities into visions of a more equal society. A painting of life with his partner and cats makes that idea particularly tangible. Represented by Tang Contemporary Art, Kitti has exhibited in London, Manchester, Dublin, Melbourne and Singapore. Until October 18. Free entry. Tang Contemporary Art Bangkok, second floor, River City Bangkok. Tuesday-Saturday 11am-7pm.

Until Oct 18, 2026
