Bangkok suggestion

by Teobazbo » Jul 24th, '18, 12:25

Ciao! I'm in Thailand until the first week of August , as I do every year I will stop in Bkk for buying tea (mostly in Yowarat) and finding some good teapot.
Anyone can give good advice for Bkk ?

Thank you all.
PS An Yixing clay teapot is still a dream but I think I don't have enough knowledge for buying a real one.

Can't help you on Thailand, but buying a real Yixing isn't hard at all. Essence of Tea, Cha Wang Shop, and eBay vendor 'lukevecent' are all legit. Or, there's Tea Swap here on the forum too.

BKK is probably not the best place to buy Yixings unless you have a connection and certainly it won't be for modern pots. Expect to dish out pretty penny if you manage to find a collector's item.

You can always try online auctions if interested in Thai export pots.

If BKK, my best guess would be the Chinatown there...
