davejones76 Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 For a garden, I am looking for white Roman columns and Greece status or sculptures like Venues, Cleopatra, Zeus. Preferably in PVC / plastic as the concrete ones are bad for backaches. :-) Does anyone know if these items are available in Thailand. If not, does someone know a supplier in Thailand, who can make this on request? Help is appreciated. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fookhaht Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 A tall order. If you have your own transportation, the first place I would start would be on the highway between Saraburi and Korat. Dozens of statuary shops along the roadside, and many of them appear to manufacture their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swissie Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Clearly: "William Randolph Hearst syndrome" To really impress Thai Folks, erect plenty of Buddha statues in combination with 17 little "Ghost Houses" in your front yard. That will make you an "Important Person" in Thailand. Forget about the Greeks and the Romans. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OMGImInPattaya Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 I think I saw some at my local Home Pro, in the ancient farang god's statuary department. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djayz Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 I don't know where you're located, but I vaguely remember seeing varous statues/sculptures, as you described, at OR around Chutachut weekend market in Bangkok. I've seen some which are bronze but I DON'T know if they also have plastic ones. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willyumiii Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 There is a place just outside of Chokchai, ( west side of Hwy 244) that sells large concrete "roman colums". Some coloums are on display out frount...you can not miss it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both are crazy and depressing. Also, I have no statues or colums. I was just being helpful to someone who requested help when I refered hin to a place that sells them. Being helpful...

angiolo Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Maybe you want real antiques. Not available in Thailand. Lots of Budhist statues. Try Rome or Athens.LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon43 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 To really impress Thai Folks, erect plenty of Buddha statues in combination with 17 little "Ghost Houses" in your front yard A small word of advice. Unless you are a Buddhist or Anamist, I would not suggest erecting either of the above. A 'Westerner' with Buddha statues would certainly not impress local Buddhists.

Suradit69 Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 (edited) I don't know where you're located, but I vaguely remember seeing varous statues/sculptures, as you described, at OR around Chutachut weekend market in Bangkok. I've seen some which are bronze but I DON'T know if they also have plastic ones. Good luck. There is a shop in River City (as I recall on 2nd or 3rd floor) and also when you first turn off Choroen Krung Rd west (towards the river) onto Soi 30 (just north of Surawongse) in Bangkok, both of which sell statuary. I've also seen shops further east on Surawongse I think at the junction with Rama IV . Edited November 22, 2015 by Suradit69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers. Don't be too hard on them; especially when they need to compete with the Thai's in ugly; one of the worst if not the worst is in Dan Chai - a whole resort of "Hello Kitty" and yes - every thing is pink including the on display car show.
