    Nearby is "Heun Sri Nuan", the souvenir shop where they sell paintings, other works of art, and home décor products. Visitors are welcome to walk and possibly buy something. A resting area is also nearby for visitors to sip coffee, watch the river flow, and listen to the sounds of nature.

    Not only are the buildings art galleries, but is it also a camp center for arts and literature, meant to promote education, exchange of ideas, and creative works of art. For more information, call 081 989 2912. The gallery is open everyday except Wednesday from 9am – 5pm.

    Editor's Comment

    • Strong point:
    • The gallery is surrounded by great natural scenes and continual exhibit of renown artists.
    • Weak point:
    • Tourists have to walk their way through exhibition. There is no guiding officer at the spot.
    • Conclusion:
    • The majority of the arts in Nan Riverside gallery are created by renown artist, Professor Vinai Prabvibbon. Stunning arts and great natural scenes of mountains and rivers made the gallery worth stopping by.
