2 weeks agoM. Jeorg is an antiquarian in the classic sense with an inimitable collection of materials not to be found elsewhere. Highly recommended.

a month agoI had a very negative experience at this shop. The owner's body language turned hostile -once he felt I was only going to browse and not purchase that day. He demanded me to be careful with his maps, despite I did not do anything at all that could damage them. If he doesn't want people to browse or peruse his maps, he should write a signage and tell us to look only, or better yet, a 'don't come in' warning. He also asked me too many intrusive unasked personal questions to obstruct my viewing. He voiced his opinion regarding a map related subject and contradicted what reputed experts say on the FT, about the vintage map market 🤔 Maybe he knows better than World renowned experts dealers. Or perhaps he is wrong? After my negative experience the good news for him is that I won't step a foot inside his boutique in the future. If you like maps, feel free to go in, just be ready for any potential hostilities and interrogations that could occur. I would rather source elsewhere.

5 months agoLovely owners with great selection of antique maps (which seem to be hard to find in Thailand). Also old prints of Bangkok scenes & some art prints. Range of prices. Well worth a visit! We purchased a small, framed map of old Siam. Can’t wait to hang it on our map wall at home.
