Arc Tribe

Arc Tribe is an independent publication based in Bangkok, focusing on photography from artists from across Asia. Co-run by photographer 

 and director/producer Prynlada, who are also behind media production agency 

, the duo are part of a bustling scene in Bangkok united by close-knit creatives who mingle in documentary clubs, boutique stores and intimate exhibition spaces.

Below they share their guide to finding creative inspiration in Bangkok.

A shop selling crafts and hosts pop ups with DJs and book launches with artists from places like Korea, Japan, New York. People in the independent publication community around the world come here.

They show cool documentaries from international places and indie films. 

They sell Isaan food, which is north eastern cuisine that’s often seen as homey comfort food, but the owner of the restaurant has made it chic and elevated. They use local ingredients and support people from the north east. A really cool space, sometimes they have DJs—or Mo Lam performers doing traditional folk song. It’s a little fancy, but a good place to try, really authentic.

This is at a venue called Warehouse, they bring good DJs, good vibes and the location is in an old factory.

They do photography exhibitions. I’ve exhibited two times, once solo and once as part of a group.

A compact, small gallery run by famous Thai photographer, Manit Sriwanichpoom.

If you like natural wine, head to Salon Kiku!

A lot of exhibitions showing new Thai artists in a modern way. Nice space, cute bookstore in there too.
