www.rama6art.org is a great resource providing information about art events, artists and art venues. If you want to research a national-awarded artist, you’ll want to look here.

BAM! (Bangkok Art Map) is distributed free every month at art venues throughout Bangkok. Besides listing the top shows of the month, it also helps prevent you from getting lost when you go check them out.

Bangkok 101 (B100, available at most bookstores) features articles and events on art. Great photography.

Fine Art (B150, available at most bookstores, in Thai) is for in-the-know art-world people. Featuring reviews of shows and art news.

Freeform (B55, available at Faster Books, Amarin Books, Phrae Pittaya) is a Thai-language magazine providing the latest art world news along with ongoing and upcoming exhibitions each month. No reviews here, but there are interesting articles about art.

Flavors Thai Contemporary Art (available at most bookstores) was written by veteran curator Steven Pettifor and published by the Thavibu Gallery. It’s a great introduction to influential artists in the Thai contemporary art scene.

TA&DG (Thailand Art & Design Guide, available at art venues) is a free bi-monthly magazine, which will introduce you to local artists and events. Contains gallery contact information along with a map.

BK Magazine (of course) gives you a week-by-week list of exhibitions in Bangkok. You can (and should) pick a copy up every Friday to plan where to go and what to do art-wise and otherwise in our bk+ section.
