Kathmandu Photo Gallery

Bangkok


Bangkok’s only gallery wholly dedicated to photography is housed in a charmingly restored Sino-Portuguese shophouse. The owner, photographer Manit Sriwanichpoom, wanted Kathmandu to resemble photographers’ shops of old, where customers could flip through photographs for sale. Manit’s own work is on display on the ground floor, and the small but charming upstairs gallery plays host to changing exhibitions by local and international artists and photographers.
