New Art Landmark Opens at Cheow Lan Dam
A new creative space, CHEOW LAN ART SPACE by CALIGO, has launched in Surat Thani to serve as a hub for art tourism and community engagement.
On October 29, 2026, the CHEOW LAN ART SPACE by CALIGO was officially inaugurated at Caligo Resort in the Ban Ta Khun District of Surat Thani province. According to Khaosod Online Thailand, this new facility is designed to function as a creative community space and a landmark for art-focused tourism near the Cheow Lan Dam. The project aims to provide a venue where tourists, local youth, artists, and community members can gather to exchange knowledge and participate in collaborative activities. Nambanyat Yongbut Marotrakul, the manager of the space and chairman of the CALIGO ART FESTIVAL 2026, stated that the initiative builds upon the success of previous art festivals held at the resort. For travelers and residents, this development offers a new cultural dimension to the popular dam area, potentially diversifying the local tourism experience beyond traditional nature-based activities. While the space is now open to the public, details regarding specific long-term programming, permanent exhibition schedules, and potential entry fees for various activities remain to be confirmed by the organizers.
