For an atmosphere of artistic integrity removed from commercialization, the Baan Silapan (Artist’s House) in Bangkok is the place for you. Located across the Chao Phraya River, this spot oozes nostalgia, transporting you back into a simpler time. One of the unmissable icons of the area is the red man statue, which stands out due to its siren red color. There are even authentic Thai puppet shows for your entertainment. This is not just a place for tourists, but it is also a place for young artists. Locals and foreigners, the young and the old are all welcome to this house, which is over 200 years old. After a day of artistic introspection, be authentically comforted by bowls of hot Tom Yam soup and Thai curries at one of the affordable Thai eateries in the vicinity.
