Siam Art Supply Co., Ltd.
The Old Siam Plaza Room, C1-17 , 1st floor Tripetch Road Wang Burapha Phirom, Phra Nakhon, Bangkok 10200
Start with the oil color section if you work in that medium. The shop imports difficult-to-find professional lines that most Bangkok art stores do not carry. Old Holland and Michael Harding are genuine handmade oils, not student-grade substitutes. Prices reflect import quality, but the range justifies the visit for anyone working on archival pieces or preparing a portfolio.
You step off the escalator onto the 1st floor of The Old Siam Plaza and find room C1-17. The shop is compact. Shelves of paint tubes, brush displays, and stacked canvas panels line the walls.
Siam Art opened in 1998 as Bangkok's first specialized fine art material supplier, and the product selection still reflects that founding intention. The paint wall runs deep with professional-grade formulations: Old Holland Classic Oil Colour, Michael Harding Handmade Artists Oil Colours, Williamsburg, Holbein oils and watercolors, Golden Acrylic Artist Colors. These are imports, not the reformulated lines some chain stores carry. The brush section stocks Da Vinci Artist Brushes and Colorists painting brushes, the easel corner holds Mabef studio easels, and the palette selection includes John Pikes palettes designed for plein air work. Koh-I-Noor pencils and charcoal sit in the drawing section. The founder, Mr. Chaiwat J., brought decades of photo and printing experience to the business, and that technical grounding shows in the curation. The shop functions as an authorized dealer for each brand line, which means genuine product and direct supply relationships. You also find mediums, varnishes, canvas in multiple weights, papers, frames.
The store operates within Old Siam Plaza mall hours: 10 AM to 5:30 PM weekdays, closing at 5 PM on weekends. Plan arrival before 5 PM if you need time to compare products or ask questions. The nearest access point is Sam Yod MRT station Exit 3, a short walk to the mall entrance. Delivery and in-store pickup are available for larger orders.
If you are an art student building a first professional kit or a working painter restocking archival materials, Siam Art consolidates the import brands Bangkok's hobby chains do not carry. Small shop, specific range, direct focus on painters who know what they need.
