When I first started to paint this series, I was thinking about what my “farang” friends were telling me about their experiences with Bangkok nightlife. I myself, often party with both Thai and farang friends at different venues all over Bangkok. Sometimes in pubs and bars, sometimes at a friend’s house, or very often at my own place.

As these joyous memories came back to me, and with the addition of a little music. I found myself dancing in the studio and started to paint this series of paintings. Which I hope whoever sees them will enjoy them as much as I did painting them.

Piengrutai is a self taught artist. She started painting full time in 1997, her main medium being oil and acrylic on canvas.
