Thawan's 'Black House' commences charging visitors
CHIANG RAI -- The iconic Baandam Museum created by the late master artist Thawan Duchanee has begun charging all visitors an 80-baht admission fee for the first time in 40 years, starting on Dec 1.
“Since Baandam was built more than 40 years ago, we’ve never charged visitors, and its expenses were met by the family, from my father's generation to my generation,” Thawan’s son Doytibet, who is managing director of Baandam, said on Thursday.
“But now the monthly expense of running Baandam has gone up to one million baht. So for Baandam to survive, we need to impose an entry fee to cover operating and maintenance costs.”

The Black Temple is a private temple done by famous artist Thawan Duchanee. He is from Chiang Rai so built his temple to display his art work. This is a must place to visit while in Chiang Rai. Very strange however this was my third time visiting so now I get what he is trying to interpret.
