For all your servicing needs, whether it’s a new bed with fancy pillows, a new wardrobe, or you are just in the mood for learning something new, check out these three places great to remember in those times of need.
Galaxy CNX
After many years working for Thailand’s number one sneaker brand, Carnival, Lonk returned to his home town of Chiang Mai and opened up his own space-themed store called Galaxy, selling a range of clothing, shoes, caps and other accessories – all with a modern feel, and some with space themes, obviously. Thailand’s number one graffiti artist, Dea, is also featured in the shop with a mural of Darth Vader depicted as Christ against an interstellar backdrop. Expect to see both Thai and international brands such as Sneaker Villa, Young and Hungry, Fuxury and of course Carnival. Lonk also has some of his own branded items thrown into the mix. Many of his products are of limited stock, as he prefers to provide only highly sought after limited editions to ensure he is the place to go for those looking for that special sneaker or space themed hoodie.
