The National Gallery is around the corner from Khaosan Road in an old colonial building with a little courtyard .In the galllery you can see some paintings by the King of Thailand in The Celebration Room; paintings by Thai pioneer artist in The Senior Artist Room;Traditional Thai Art room and there is always an interesting temporary exhibition on the ground floor.
If you like art this is a good place to spent a quiet moments.
The National Gallery opens every day except Mon,Tues from 9:00am to 4:00pm.Admission is 10 baht for Thais 30 baht for others.

I really don't recommend putting the National Gallery on top of your Bangkok travel list - unless you are really a diehard Thai art fan - which, even that, to my untrained sensibilities - may be hard to be satiated. The main reason I came here was proximity to where I was staying at Khao San road.
But having said that, there are some interesting things to see here. Examples: the portraits and photos of Thai royalty, the artwork by the current monarch, King Bhumibol, and the main building itself which is a beautifully-restored colonial building. And don't forget the installation art on the museum courtyard.
