May 17, 201313 yr Was at a Thai food stall (in UK) today and they had a few of these for decoration. I really like them and would like to know where would be the best place to find something like this in Bangkok. I've never seen this at Chatuchak or Pratunam. Do the malls sell them? Cheers,
May 17, 201313 yr Take the pic to your local artisan and ask for a quote. Has the added bonus of supporting the small family business.
May 17, 201313 yr OK you are in bangkok, I just know outside Chiangmai they sell them everywhere, made of aluminium or wood and any material and design you like. Perhaps you know someone there. There are several of this shops along the way from the city to Sankampeang, before and between the ringroads. I had several made for my bar's and shop. This is my former cafe where I had one on the counter for cigarettes. I like them a lot too they are cute ! In Bangkok I'm sure in the outskirts you will find those shops.

May 17, 201313 yr Author Hmm I hope it won't come to having to make a trip out to CM just for this but thanks!
May 17, 201313 yr Chatuchak market have quite a few stalls full of these and the little items to go with them, you sure you were looking in the right section ? Should be Section 8.
May 17, 201313 yr Author Tbh I didn't even know the sections were numbered. I tend to get lost and wander off. Where abouts is section 8?

May 21, 201313 yr Take BTS to Phra Khanong, use exit 4, at the base of the stairway are several shops that manufacture and sell kiosk stands and carts.

Just to be clear are you talking actual ones for use or the miniature ones? I think he missed the word "miniature" in your post . It puzzled me as well because I used to live around there and couldn't recall seeing any shops that sold miniatures so took a look on Google Streetview. Edited May 29, 201313 yr by roamer
May 30, 201313 yr Yup...missed the "miniature" in the headline. Maybe they can craft one at Phra Khanong. dddave
May 31, 201313 yr Author No worries it's Friday today which means I'm having Thai for lunch! I'll try and find out where exactly sells them but going on other posts here it seems JJ market and Asiatique will sell them too.
June 12, 201313 yr Author You can buy the miniature stalls at JJ mall, I think top floor. Thanks I had no idea there was even a mall there!
