The Princess at the Games
The photos that Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn took at the opening ceremony of last summer’s Beijing Olympics are on view at the China Town Heritage Centre until February 8.
Included are overview shots of the ceremony and some of the action in the “Bird’s Nest” stadium, with Thailand’s weightlifters put¬ting on a fine show.
The Princess’ collection of Olympic souvenirs is also on display, along with her jour¬nals describing her impression of the Games.
The centre is on the sec¬ond floor of the Golden Shrine at Wat Trimitr Witayaram, and is open daily from 8.30 to 4.30.
Call (02) 670 2525.

Crazy about love
Inspired by cartoons, Wisut Ponnmit has his drawings and paintings on view in “Love Story” at J Gallery from February 2 to 16.
The drawings depicting various kinds of love have been published in Thailand and Japan, distinctive for their minimal dialogue and bizarre look.
On February 8 at 6.30 there will be a piano recital and a screening of Wisut’s animation, and on Valentine’s Day at 3.30, 20 couples can have their portraits done.
The gallery is on the fourth floor of J Avenue on Soi Thonglor 15, and is open daily from 11 to 8.
 Call (02) 662 2266.


Bowling for romance

“Exploring Love” is a wall installation made with heartshaped stoneware bowls. The work by Nino Sarabutra is at the Rotunda and Garden Gallery from February 3 to March 1.
The handmade bowls are all different in shape, glaze, texture, colour and details. They could be used to hold fruit or hung on a wall. Just like human emotions, some are dark, some bright, some simple, some complicated.
The gallery is open daily except Monday from 9.30 to 5. Call (02) 233 1731.
