Bangkok may be known for its glamorous shopping and upscale boutiques, but the Thai capital also offers a wealth of “treasures” for those in search of unique antiques. OP Place Antiques Gallery is one of the best spots in the city to purchase antiques. This well known gallery can be found near the riverside area and those in search of 5 star hotels in Bangkok in this picturesque part of the city can stay at Anantara Bangkok Riverside Resort & Spa. This Bangkok resort by Chao Phraya River’s west bank is an ideal starting place for your shopping excursions.
Housed within a striking neoclassical building, the OP Place Antiques Gallery features 50 shops that offer a wide array of items, antiques and art works. There are even jewellers and tailors on site too, though the main draw are the antiques which have certification from the country’s Fine Arts Department which means that you can be sure of getting authentic products. As you walk along the polished marble floors you will come across shops with antiques, jewellery and clothes. Serious antique hunters should definitely visit The Ashwood Gallery where one will find items from not only Thailand, but China and Burma as well.
