Poh-Chang Academy of Arts

Poh Chang Academy of Arts, founded by King Rama VI in 1913, is one of Thailand’s longest-running and most prestigious multi-disciplinary art schools. Its main building, reconstructed after the Second World War, is hailed as one of the country’s very first “modern Thai” structures. Designed by celebrated artist and architect Professor Prakit Buabut, it blends deconstructed elements of classic Western and Thai architecture. People recognize the structure by the six neoclassical pillars that guard its entrance and its light green wash.
