Best place to get great gifts for loved ones and look at authenic southeast asian art.

I was impressed with the layout of the store. The price ranges of items fit any budget or pocketbook. The most impressive aspect of the store is in the knowledge of the staff. Dekker (i think that is his name) was able to explain the history and aspects of the items down to the original artists and craftsmen. Overall, I would have to say this is a must see store for anyone interested in southeast asian art and culture. Also it is not far from other must see downtown seattle attractions. I will definately be back on my next trip for christmas gifts!

Best Thai imports

Great service, the couple that owns the store have relationships with many of the people whose stuff they sell. They have a lot of information about both the people and their products.

They have the cutest kids table and chair sets that are very reasonably priced.

They also have an adorable son, who hangs out in the shop from time to time.

I love their elephant paintings and it's a great place to pick up a birthday present; purses, earrings, candle holders, picture frames, elephant dung paper, silk.

What can I say, I like the shop

• Pros: Rickshaw
