Exceptionally beautiful and expansive shop specializing in furnishings from Asia and Europe, with a few local items. Originally specializing in Thailand, the store now carries goods from all over Asia and more recently Europe. Impeccable service matches the atmosphere. Today’s inventory is eclectic; “a unique blend of ancient and modern, rustic and refined.” Your senses will be aroused. Not many retail establishments have been around since 1989 and adapted to the times; there is a reason. Congratulations Golden Triangle.
