MAIIAM is a newly opened private museum of Contemporary Art in Northern Thailand, initiated by Jean Michel Beurdeley and his late wife Patrsi Bunnag, together with their son Eric Bunnag Booth. Built in memory of Eric Bunnag Booth’s Great Great Aunt Chao Chom Iam, a royal consort to King Rama V, the museum houses the family's private collection, gathered together over the last 30 years. Bolstering Chiang Mai’s already vibrant art and cultural scene, MAIIAM enables the cofounders' important collections of Thai and regional contemporary art to be permanently available to the public. The museum offers long-term and temporary exhibitions of visual art, design, and fashion; alongside performances, film screenings, special education programs, lectures and workshops, to engage a wide spectrum of audiences. While MAIIAM is dedicated to bringing together celebrated works of contemporary Asian art, Kampaeng Kaew Restaurant takes a more traditional approach. Chef Tutu, the museums in house culinary expert, prefers to keep it traditional, using fresh, local ingredients to create delicious, authentic Thai food. MAIIAM and KAMPAENG KAEW RESTAURANT are located in the district of Sankamphaeng, twenty minutes from the center of Chiang Mai.

If you are an art lover - especially contemporary art. This gallery should be on your itinerary. The art was provocative and is not limited to contemporary Thai artists. It also includes Southeast Asian Artists who live in the West. It was a wonderful way to spend a half day. In addition, the family who created this Museum has an interesting history in Thailand - [as an aside if you live in Asia or have visited many times - and have seen many temples - seeing contemporary art may also have "added value" -

Very nice place to watch them make painted umbrellas. You can also have one of the artists paint your phone or iPad case. Nice big gift shop also.

We took a tuk tuk from our Chang Mai hotel to the Thai Silk Village. Easy trip, well worth the visit to see how silk moths morph into worms, cocoons and spun silk which is woven on traditional looms. Retail shop very nicely laid out and prices were affordable considering all the labor that goes into the hand-made shirts, etc. Many shirts also made by machine, according to sales person on floor.
