Some of Bangkok's most prestigious galleries have been moving on up, as Silom Galleria has refocused its basement on jewelry traders while sending the art galleries packing to floors four and five. The spaces are bigger and the galleries now sit next to each other, making this move a definite improvement. (Note: Gossip Gallery has moved out and is now at 71 Seree 6, [Soi 2] Rama 9 Soi 51. 089-484-9364.)

TANG GALLERY

With its two branches in China, Tang is Bangkok's art scene top dog. Chatchai Suphin, who worked in Ravin Rawanchaikul's studio, is currently showing his paintings there. His first exhibtion was in Chiang Mai, and although this is only his second show, the star power of Tang and Navin combined means you'll have to pay B250,000 for one of his works.

CVN

CVN is more of an art dealer, so no rotating exhibitions here. But with two Thawan Duchanee's proudly displayed in the front window, CVN is only rivaled by Sombat Permpoon in terms of reputation. Bring a few million baht if you'd like to take a Duchanee home, but prices start from much lower than that.

NUMBER 1 Gallery

Young and fresh, with a selection of exciting emerging artists, this gallery's price tags in the tens of thousands remain reasonable.

THAVIBU

Representing big names like Vasan Sithiket and Navin Rawanchaikul, Thavibu is another highly-regarded gallery.
