UOB credit and debit cardholders can now get up to 20 per cent off admission at Dib Bangkok, Khao Yai Art Forest and MOCA BANGKOK, from now until 31 March 2027.

Other privileges include savings on dining and museum shop purchases, available to Thai and international UOB cardholders from across markets where UOB serves more than 8 million retail customers.

It is the first time the three destinations have partnered with a bank to offer privileges for its cardholders. The privileges extend UOB's support for artists, making it more affordable for people to appreciate the UOB Painting of the Year artworks, among others.

Mr Richard Maloney, President and CEO, UOB Thailand, said " A thriving arts ecosystem depends on public engagement and support. For more than 45 years, UOB has been committed to nurturing artistic talent across Southeast Asia, using our regional connectivity to broaden access to art and inspire greater appreciation among audiences in Thailand and across the region. This partnership with Dib Bangkok, Khao Yai Art Forest and MOCA BANGKOK offers UOB Thai cardholders another way to experience and support local cultural experiences."

The timing reflects evolving consumer spending habits. UOB's 2025 ASEAN Consumer Sentiment Study found that 71 per cent of consumers across Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam, particularly younger consumers, consider spending on experiences such as travel, dining and events to be essential. In Thailand, 66 per cent of consumers say they are spending less and with more caution, making discounts a practical way for them to enjoy these experiences while managing their budgets.

Dib Bangkok, which opened in December 2025 as Bangkok's first international contemporary art museum, houses more than 1,000 works by artists from Thailand and around the world. MOCA Bangkok showcases seven decades of Thai painting and sculpture. Khao Yai Art Forest guides visitors along a 2.5 km journey through forest landscapes interwoven with immersive artworks. Together, they offer a diverse art experience, where a long weekend can begin in a Bangkok gallery and end among the trees.

Miwako Tezuka, PhD, Director of Dib Bangkok, said: "Dib Bangkok is where creative voices from Thailand and the world meet. We welcome UOB cardholders to explore our museum and join the dialogue through art."

Mr Stefano Rabolli Pansera, Director, Khao Yai Art Forest, said: "At Khao Yai Art Forest, visitors experience art through a different temporality: the time of the forest is the time of nature. It is slower, more contemplative, and invites us to pause, encounter the works without haste, and reconnect with our own inner sense of time. We hope this partnership with UOB will encourage more visitors to experience this unique relationship between art, nature, and time."

Mr Kanachai Bencharongkul, Managing Director, MOCA BANGKOK, said: "MOCA BANGKOK was created to share the identity of Thai art with Thai audiences and visitors from other countries. We hope UOB cardholders from across the region leave with a warm impression of Thailand."
