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 a monthly salary of 20,000 baht and a lifetime healthcare allowance of up to 100,000 baht.[2][3]
The pieces of work perceived of being on the highest level are exhibited in the Supreme Artist Hall.[1]
