Antiques in Bangkok almost always refer to modern reproductions of original pieces. Genuine Thai antiques are rare and expensive. Strict government regulations and rigorous efforts are in place to curb illegal trade (of works stolen from ancient temples). Unless you’re a passionate antique collector, replicas are just as good – and probably more suitable – for decorative purposes.
Many stores in Bangkok stock both genuine antiques and more modern reproductions intended for less discerning shoppers. Perhaps most ubiquitous is Buddhist art reflecting distinctive styles of the Kingdom's past eras. Check out our guide to the best places to shop for antiques in Bangkok.

OP (Oriental Plaza) Place is a historic showpiece in itself with added vintage fixtures, neoclassical architecture, and a manually operated elevator. Constructed in 1908, the building houses several floors of galleries and shops selling exquisite antiques of all shapes and sizes.
Lovers of rare collectables and crafts will be blown away by the copious collection of Asian handicrafts, antiques, jewellery, carpets, textiles, paintings, and Thai silk. Not to be missed is the Ashwood Gallery, which displays works ranging from 19th-century Burmese alabaster sculptures to Chinese and Japanese prints. Around this area, you'll find several jewellery stores and shops specialising in export trade. There are some good deals in OP Place if you look hard enough.
