If asked to name any artists who are natives of the northern part of Thailand, Ajarn Prasong Luemuang is sure to be one of those to first come in mind. This talented artist has produced series of works acceptable inside and outside Thailand. His works are on display in a number of contemporary art museums not only in Thailand, but across the world. His style reflects the smooth combination of Thai and Western arts, and yet keeps the local cultural uniqueness intact.

There is more. He is one of the few who believes in giving back to the society. His private art museum in Lampoon province was built to allow people to come and appreciate art through his works.
