Golden Triangle is an antique shop selling house decorations, situated in a pleasant area shaded by trees. The name ‘Golden Triangle’ is pretty self explanatory as products come from this region: antique furniture from Burma, wickerwork from Laos, fabric dolls from Hang Dong, etc. You’ll find both contemporary and modern house d?cor items: cupboards, beds, tables, doors, musical instruments, lamps, cement and wooden works, at prices that range from any man’s 40 baht, to a select few’s multi million baht.
