Both Sukontip and Voravuj agreed that Dib Bangkok, a contemporary art museum which opened in December, is a highlight of Thailand's art scene. He commented that as Petch collected contemporary art, in compliance to international standards, this will help Thai visitors and collectors understand more about contemporary art. As a key player with significant investment in establishing the art museum and systematically collecting work, Dib Bangkok will make contemporary art more visible and accepted to the public," Sukontip said. A spill over effect of Dib Bangkok will be that when international art enthusiasts come to visit Dib Bangkok, it might trigger their interest in exploring other art galleries in Thailand." In addition to Dib Bangkok, both art gallery founders noticed that art events are no longer limited to taking place only in Bangkok.
