These generally reflect the influence of Buddhist motifs and beliefs and remain popular with the general population. With an ever-increasing pool of artists, both in the city and in the surrounding areas, Bangkok offers a wide variety of works, including works with contemporary themse such as the modern obsession with money and the rejection of traditional values.
