Websiteart.culture.go.th

Since 1985, the honors have been presented on 24 February, "National Artist Day", in Thailand.[1] The date was chosen because it is the birthdate of Buddha Loetla Nabhalai, or King Rama II, who was an artist himself. In 1986, King Bhumibol Adulyadej, an accomplished musician, photographer, and painter, was named "Supreme Artist".

National artists receive 25,000 baht monthly for life unless the award is retracted. They are also entitled to health insurance, emergency payments, funeral costs, and a stipend of 150,000 baht for writing a biography or autobiography.[2][3][4]

The pieces of work perceived of being on the highest level are exhibited in the Supreme Artist Hall.[1]
