Once the home of Princess Chumphot, the Suan Pakkad Palace is situated on Si Ayutthaya Road, near the Phayathai intersection. Princess Chumbhot was one of the prominent art collectors in Thailand. Here, there are five traditionally built Thai houses that oversee a well maintained beautiful park, and display a huge collection of Thai antiquities.

These houses were first constructed in 1952 by Prince and Princess Chumphot of Nagor Svarga. Some of the exhibits are from the ancestors of Prince Chumphot and are over a few centuries ancient. The Lacquer pavilion is located on the southern end of the park, while the Ban-Chiang and Marsi galleries are on the Chumphot Pantip collection of pre-historic items.

Formerly, the Lacquer pavilion was located in the Ban Kling temple, and dates to the seventeenth century. It was shifted by Prince Chumphot after obtaining a formal approval from the abbot.

The exterior is sculptured beautifully in wood, while the interior walls are made with gold over black lacquer. There are various drawings and paintings inside that display the different events related to Lord Buddha, and also from the Hindu classic Ramayana. There are also many pictures that give an idea about the contemporary Thai life in those times, and some show the early foreign travelers to Ayudha. This is a unique part of the collection making the Suan Pakkad Palace exclusive among all others in Thailand.

The famous Marsi Gallery is situated on the second floor of the Chumphot Pantin center for arts. The gallery derives its name from Marsi Paribatra, the daughter of Prince and Princess Chumphot of Nagor Svarga. It was originally created with the purpose of furtherance of art activities and for holding exhibits for artists throughout the year.

The park surrounding the Suan Pakkad Palace is exquisitely beautiful with colorful flower beds, and the Baiyoke tower can be clearly seen from the garden; this is the tallest structure in Thailand. The Suan Pakkad Palace can be visited on most days and is easily accessible from Sukhumvit, Bangkok.

Ever since I was a child I have been fascinated with Antiques. Partly because they are often shiny, ornate or interesting to look at… and partly because of the sense of history you can hold in your hand, so to speak.

My mother did not share this love, nor did her mother who called any collectible a “dust collector”. My mother finally explained one day that my grandmother spent most of her youth dusting her mother’s treasured nick nacks and resented them from then on. As such, she taught my mother to despise them… but from somewhere (a DNA gene perhaps?) I was enamored by any collectible, miniature or antique.

One of my favorite treasure hunt memories was with my aunt. We were antique shopping (more looking than buying) at the Jersey Shore many years ago. Upon walking into one store, my aunt went towards the jewelry counter while I eyed the Hummels and other figurines.

Suddenly I became aware of my usually animated aunt becoming quite still. I zeroed in my attention upon her and realized that she was like a deer in the headlights - something had stopped her in her tracks, so I meandered over to see what was up.

There I tuned into the conversation as my aunt queried the store clerk about the glass beaded necklace on display. At the time it was quite cheap (this is in 1960 dollars)… so as I recall it was less than $5.00. My aunt seemed to be questioning the price. The woman was becoming distressed saying that she could not lower it any further, after all she had overhead and couldn’t give things away.

My aunt told her she’d take it, offered her the payment in cash, grabbed the bag and sped out of the store. Curious, I followed my aunt out onto the boardwalk. “What’s up?” I asked her. My aunt, nearly speechless and quivering with excitement said, “I just can’t believe what she charged me.”

Sensing her excitement, I was confused by her remark and asked, “What do you mean?”

“This isn’t glass… it’s crystal! She sold me a crystal necklace for less than $5.00.”

Up to that point I had thought that it would be fun to have my own antique store… surrounded by the treasures and enjoying them with shoppers. Now it struck me that a store owner who was quite experienced in the trade had made such a ghastly mistake. I realized there was much to learn and that a truly keen eye — and cool head — was needed in order to find… and to sell… antiques.

Since that time, the Internet has really changed the finding, selling, buying and pricing of antiques and collectibles. What had once been a family treasure (a plate, a figurine) may have taken a nose dive due to the give-away pricing on some of the online auctions sites.

On the other hand, something like the Beanie Baby can become a hot overnight craze fueled by heat-of-the-moment bidding and International competition.

Had that glass / crystal necklace been placed on Ebay it would surely had fueled a bidding war.

If you have found a great bargain that you’d like tell about, I’d love to hear from you. Please contact me with the details…. and happy hunting!

I have been enjoying my life today thanks to Jessica, my beautiful spouse. We met two years ago and I fall in love with her since then. Thank God she’s also in love with me and we have been getting through the wonderful days.

But something is bothering me these days. I think she is changing. She often being too busy with her job and seems to have no more time for me. At first, I could understand it because I thought she was just starting her excellent career and it took her time a lot. But I love her and I miss her often. This makes me think of something else about her. Does she really busy in doing her job? Does she cheating me on the back?

I was started to feel so curious about her activities and it really driving me crazy. I can’t sleep at night, I can’t do my job well, I can’t do anything well because I always thinking of her. I love her and I want to marry her soon. So, these things are driving me crazy.

I told John, my friend, about my problem and he told me to use the GPS Tracking to track her. At first I think that this was a crazy idea and I am not going to do that. No way! If someone do such a thing to me I will be so angry because that is absolutely disturbing my privacy. If Jessica uses the GPS Tracking to track me, I am not going to forgive her.

I am sorry, Jessica. I love you so much. I don’t want to loose you and I really want to marry you. So, I have to make sure about your love. I think I will use the GPS Tracking to solve my problem. I am sure someday you will understand that I am doing this for you and for our love. I love you, Jessica. Please forgive me for doing this.

For Europeans during the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, China—or Cathay as it was sometimes called—was a magical place. This exhibition includes nine Chinoiserie textiles and embroideries from the Museum’s outstanding collection.

The Far East had intrigued Europeans for centuries. Starting with Marco Polo’s published adventures during the late thirteenth century, the Western imagination had been fueled by both travelers’ accounts and Asian imports. The Orient was a source for luxury goods from the earliest days, beginning with precious silks and later fine porcelains and lacquer-work among other goods. The East India trading companies founded during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries ensured that Asian goods, including textiles, continued to reach Europe in increasing quantities.
