Jakkai returned with a new show in the gallery in 2010. A main preoccupation of his art is the interaction of Buddhism and materialism in modern life, and the everyday popular culture of Thailand.

Jakkai has received increasing critical attention since his 2008 solo exhibition with Tyler Rollins Fine Art, Temple Fair, which was covered by such major publications as Time Magazine and the Financial Times.

He maintains a rigorous connection to traditional Thai craft techniques while making a strong commentary on contemporary issues. A highlight of 2009 was his participation as a featured artist in the 2009 Asian Art Biennial at the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts, where his work was shown with noted artists from across Asia, such as Subodh Gupta and Xu Bing.

A group exhibition in Thailand presented his works alongside those of multimedia artists from Thailand and India, and in the United States, his works were on exhibit in Miami and at the Rubin Museum in New York. He is known for his intricately handmade tapestries, quilts and installations, which convey powerful responses to contemporary and historical societal issues in Thailand, and beyond.

Siributr studied Textile and Fine Arts at Indiana University, Bloomington, USA, and Printed Textile Design at Philadelphia University, USA.

He has exhibited widely, with notable exhibitions including Phantoms of Asia: Contemporary Awakens the Past, Asian Art Museum of San Francisco, California, USA (2012); Exploring the Cosmos: The Stupa as a Buddhist Symbol, Asian Civilizations Museum, Singapore (2013); Displaced: The Politics of Ethnicity and Religion in the Art of Jakkai Siributr, Bangkok Art and Culture Centre, Bangkok, Thailand (2017); Dhaka Art Summit, Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy, Bangladesh (2018); Spectrosynthesis II, Bangkok Art and Culture Centre, Bangkok, Thailand (2019); Garmenting: Costume as Contemporary Art, Museum of Arts and Design, New York, USA (2022); Matrilineal, a solo exhibition at 100 Tonson Foundation, Bangkok (2023-2024), Everybody Wanna Be Happy, CHAT, Hong Kong (2023-2024) and participation in the 15th Gwangju Biennale (2024) in the Thailand Pavilion. 

In November 2024, Siributr’s exhibition There’s no Place at the Whitworth Art Gallery, Manchester, surveyed his practice and transformed one of the Whitworth's core collection galleries into the latest iteration of the artist's long-term project There’s no Place.

Alluding to the way contemporary Thai popular religion incorporates such practices as fortune telling and winning lottery number prediction, Jakkai organized the exhibition around his conception of a karmic convenience store, where merit can be bought and sold. His practice explores social contradictions and political frictions in Thailand and Southeast Asia today, making him one of Southeast Asia’s leading contemporary artists working primarily in the textile medium.

He is noted for producing meticulously handmade tapestry and installation works that make powerful statements about religious, social, and political issues in contemporary Thailand. It is inspired by Siributr’s personal attempt to reckon with the protracted refugee situation on the Thai- Myanmar border. 2548), Temple Fair (2551), Karma Cash & Carry (2553), Transient Shelter (2557) ที่ Tyler Rollins Fine Art, นิวยอร์ค สหรัฐอเมริกา, Shroud ที่หอศิลปวิทยนิทรรศน์ จุฬาลงกรณ์มหาวิทยาลัย (2554), Plunder ที่ Yavuz Fine Art สิงคโปร์ (2556) และล่าสุด Displaced: the politics of ethnicity and religion in the art of Jakkai Siributr ที่ห้องสตูดิโอ ชั้น 4 หอศิลปวัฒนธรรมแห่งกรุงเทพมหานคร
