Ámantee
Although well outside of the city centre, this ‘repository of Oriental and Tibetan art and antiques’ is well worth the trip. Consisting of several interconnecting wooden Thai houses holding a variety of classy items, the peaceful compound also boasts a cafe, accommodation and occasional cultural events. A Thai-language map for taxi drivers can be downloaded from the website.

L’Arcadia
The buyer at L’Arcadia has a sharp eye for collectables from Myanmar, Cambodia and Thailand, including cute red-lacquer containers, Khmer-style sandstone figures and carved wooden temple decorations. If you simply can’t resist that colonial-era lounge chair, the shop can also arrange to have it shipped home for you.

House of Chao
This three-storey shop, housed, appropriately, in an antique house, has everything necessary to deck out your fantasy colonial-era mansion. Particularly interesting are the various weatherworn doors, doorways, gateways and trellises behind the showroom.

Old Maps & Prints
You could poke around in this shop for hours, flipping through the maps of Siam and Indochina, laughing at early explorers' quaint drawings of 'the natives' and sighing with delight at the exquisite framed prints.
