Gayrice, I am also interested in those shops. Do you have email or phone numbers and do they speak English?

Thanks

HI the best one is called Ocean Arts Corner, on Rat-U_Thit Road Patong Beach, Kathu District. shop # 07 634 5569 mobile 01 6913572
Owner is Mr. Tienchai and his wife Thom

also this one is really big, has lots of great quality choices.
The Art Studio Patong Beach

Don't forget that there are many young but rising art students whose work will someday be much more valuable but who sell for very reasonable amounts now- try to meet some of them at Silpakorn, for instance. If you can, find out who's winning the exhibition prizes and pick up one or two of their canvases.

There is a gallery called Chamnan in Pattaya, on the Thappraya Rd between Pattaya and Jomtien, opposite Soi 11 and the 7/11, which seems to specialise in much better than average copies of the old masters. Have seen some truly beautiful stuff there, but don't know the prices.

Worth a look if you like that type of stuff
