Laguna Phuket features five of Asia's most beautiful
resorts.
When it came time to build shops which would feature the most beautiful
crafts and arts of Thailand, Claire Chiang took great care to commission
gift items that would not only encourage and support Thai artisans,
but those that would appeal to her select customers.
The four Banyan Tree Galleries at Laguna Phuket are more than shops
filled with merchandise, they are Claire's concept of gracious living
by using authentic hand crafted materials to enhance either the
person or the home.
"From the moment a customer enters the Banyan Tree Gallery,
they will feel like they've entered a special place," commented
Roselyn Chaiyarat, Manager of the Banyan Tree Galleries. "We
want to impress people not only with the high quality of our select
offerings, but we want to introduce them to the culture of Thailand."
The Banyan Tree Galleries feature a world of beautiful items including
ceramics made on Phuket, silk and cotton textiles from all regions
of the country, the Banyan Tree product line of massage, aromatic
oils and incense, and objet d'art as sandstone Khmer figures and
elephants in many sizes made from either wood, stone and metal.
Visitors to the boutiques will also find custom designer jewelry
by one of Thailand's most popular designers, Ki-Ti, who has an impressive
selection of his distinctive bead and gem creations. In addition,
the Galleries feature flatware and ceramics used in the resorts
which customers may purchase and take home as a valued momento of
their visit to Laguna Phuket.
In addition, the Banyan Tree Galleries provide a service by stocking
all the items a visitor to Phuket might need as toiletries, sun
lotions, international magazines and casual clothing just perfect
for the poolside or beach.
