Meeting PointHotel pick-up, Bangkok
There is a Bangkok of makers and keepers that ordinary visitors never meet. In the company of an antiques collector, you move through private galleries and the workshops of master craftsmen, handling pieces most people only ever see behind glass.
The Composition, Hour by Hour
11:00
With the collector
You meet your host — a working collector — and set out into a side of the city built on patience and the eye.
12:30
A private gallery
Into a gallery that opens by appointment only, its finest pieces kept well out of the public rooms.
14:30
The workshop
Time with a master craftsman at the bench — lacquer, silver or wood — watching, and trying, the slow work by hand.
16:30
A quiet close
Tea and conversation to end, with guidance should any piece have found you.

Glimpses
Good to Know
Am I expected to buy?
Never. This is a day of access and company; acquiring anything is entirely your choice, and your host advises honestly.
Can it be tailored to a field?
Yes — ceramics, textiles, Buddhist art, silver. Tell us what draws you and the day is built around it.
Can you help ship a purchase home?
Yes — your curator can arrange authentication, export papers and shipping.
By Private Proposal
This is a starting point, not a fixed product.
Every composition is tailored to you — the season, the party, the pace, the budget — and quoted individually. Tell us it has caught your eye, and a private curator will shape it around you.
