MeMock Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 I am looking to purchase a few pieces of art for my house in the village. Nothing to tacky but not looking for the mona lisa either. Thai influenced art is okay. Does anyone know of any half decent places in Ubon that I could have a browse at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bergen Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 You could have a look, and ask for more information in the shop across from WrongWay. And maybe some at the National Museum in Thung Si Muang could point you in the right direction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bergen Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 You may also find some items in the basement of Sunee Grand, food court floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeMock Posted February 17, 2011 Author Share Posted February 17, 2011 Ahhh yes, I remember there being quite a bit of artwork on the ground floor 6 months ago. Most of it was photographs though. Worth checking out so thanks for the reminder. I should have said in my OP that by artwork I really mean paintings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onionluke Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 I have seen a small arts and crafts shop on the road aproaching the train station in Warin , on your right about a few sois after the plastic policeman if you were coming from the market . Happy hunting . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeMock Posted February 17, 2011 Author Share Posted February 17, 2011 Onion Luke - is that just before the hotel on the corner? Bergen, the artwork that Phadaeng have errrr ummmm 'hanging' is not really my taste! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdc1899 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 go east on sappasit. pass the hospital. pass the intersection with the yamaha on the left and the newly redecorated bank on the right. a couple hundred yards more and there will be a 45 degree left turn; you will turn left on ( this same road ends at the reservoir). after making the left start looking on your left and there will be an art studio. maybe 50 yards after the 45 degree left turn. I would personally use such a quest as an excuse to escape this town for a few hours and do a one day roundtrip to bkk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bergen, the artwork that Phadaeng have errrr ummmm 'hanging' is not really my taste! Yes , and if you were to turn right at the corner you would be aproaching the big fire station . It is on the ground floor of an old shop house . I remember prints and objects hanging on the walls . I was looking for old vinyl records , unsuccessfully .

MeMock Posted March 13, 2011 Author Share Posted March 13, 2011 Hi Onionluke, sorry for not getting back to this thread. I have been out in the village for the last few weeks and only made it to Ubon the once. I had time for a quick look around Sunee but that was it. Hopefully on my next trip I will be able to check out the other places. My internet is too slow to open that freebeeryorky site. What is it all about?

my friend I Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 There are a few prints at Rawang Thang on Khuanthani opposite night market. Around the corner, next to the 7 the other gift shop has some framed motifs. Some framemakers have pieces. There is a big one on Yuttaphan just south of the hotel. If you go towards the river from there & hang a left into Phrommarat there are some pieces for sale in a shop on the right side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeMock Posted March 17, 2011 Author Share Posted March 17, 2011 ^ Doh! How could I forget that! I would have driven past it a hundred times over the last 2 years and always thought to myself I should go in there for a look! Thanks for the reminder kdc1899!

my friend I Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Thanks for that info my friend I. What hotel do you mean? The Ratchathani? The New Nakhonluang [spelling] its 2 blocks east from the Ratchatani. The street that runs down to the entrance to the riverside temple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
