Salvage and Used Building Materials and Furniture

[Valjean]

I'm looking for shops that sell used salvage from old Thai houses, doors, shutters, walls, and such as well as furniture and fixtures. I live in Bangkok but I'll be up in Chiang Mai in a few weeks and wanted to do some shopping.

Also furniture stores that do Thai or Chinese style antique reproductions.

Any suggestions for good shops, or areas that have shops like this?

Thanks!

Second hand demolition yard, doors etc on Hang Dong Road heading south not far from Tesco IIRC. 10km further south at Ban Tawai are many shops and factories producing "antiques" to order and any variety of design or style. Be prepared to spend all day scouring outlets on the road between Hang Dong and Ban Tawai tourist village. I found many factories in the side and rear soi's.

Fantastic, this sounds perfect. I'll plan a day trip.

Thank you!

Just drove past that demolition yard or whatever it is ... loads of old wooden doors on street frontage anyway. It's about 500m before Tesco, almost adjacent SCB as you head south.
