POSSIBAL TRIP TO THAILAND HELP!!!
 

Hey everyone, I just recently found out that I may be going to Thailand for a while this comming year. Any help on places to go or any good antique weapon shops to visit? :D thanks for any info

I cannot help you here but I do wish I was going. I truely want to get over there oneday. You may try Puff or perhaps Dan Wilke they may be able to help you. Also there are some very good contemporary smiths over there
Have a great trip and take pictures for those of us who cannot go

YOU WILL HAVE A GOOD TIME THERE AND IF IT IS STILL LIKE IT WAS WHEN I WAS THERE YOU WILL GET TO SEE THE CRAZYEST TRAFFIC IN THE WORLD IN BANKOK. I WAS DISTRACTED BY ONE OF MY OTHER LOVES IN LIFE WOMEN SO DIDN'T FIND ANY ANTIQUE WEAPON SHOPS. I SAW A FEW SMALL DHA WITH IVORY HANDLES AND SILVER SCABBARDS AND LOTS OF SOUVINEER DHA AS WELL AS LOTS OF THE BRASS OR BRONZE BUDDIST RICTUAL WEAPONS SUCH AS PURBHAS ECT. THEY ALSO HAVE LOTS OF GEMSTONES THERE WHICH WERE GOOD BUYS WHEN I WAS THERE. THE BLACK STAR SAPHHIRE IS FOUND IN THAILAND AND IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY THE EYES OF THE 5 TON SOLID GOLD BUDDA ARE MADE FROM THEM. TAKE A GOOD LOOK AND LET ME KNOW FOR SURE.THE FOOD IS GREAT ALSO!! WISH I COULD TAG ALONG
