Posted By: Sandra Lemkin Mon, Jul 25, 2022 IP: 162.254.123.91 This is a sturdy double framed painting encased in plexiglass. Outside frame measures 45" x 27". Inside frame is 35" x 16" and the painting itself is close to this size. Label says Sura Wongse Gallery, Framing and Gallery, Surawongse Road, Bangkok, Thailand. I believe this item was purchased in Bangkok in the 1980s. A Google search for this gallery turned up nothing, |

Posted By: Bill H Tue, Jul 26, 2022 This appears to be a Thai painting of the Buddha Sakyamuni preaching to monks. I've never seen one with Chinese characters in it, nor can I read the stylized Chinese script across the top of this painting. However, Bangkok has a sizable market in its community of Sino-Thai Buddhists. |

Posted By: Paul Wagner Fri, Aug 05, 2022 More Thai art: This truly original WANTED poster appeared on the lobby wall of my BKK condo one day. It says, in part, that Mr Kainuey Sitirachanukul, who is probably their “friend”, is wanted for the midnight raping of “Bear”, the “dog who lives under the condo”. Also says some other rude stuff. I thought the portrait was pretty good. |
