MOCA, or Museum of Contemporary Art is one of the two largest museums in Bangkok.

MOCA is quite far from central Bangkok. It is located on the way to Don Mueang International Airport. You can easily recognize the museum from afar with its outstanding height and architectural design.
The works on display at MOCA were all collected by Mr. Boonchai Bencharongkul, the museum's owner. These works are mainly about the customs and traditions of Thailand. Each floor displays various pieces of art with different themes and stories.
