Propaganda, Bangkok - Style
Propaganda in Bangkok. No, it’s not what you’re thinking, given the recent political turmoil here in the Land of Smiles. Rather, I refer to a Bangkok-based design store called Propaganda, a place that sells whimsical housewares, like the combination chopsticks/spoon pictured above. And tons of other quixotic stuff: quirky plates and dishes, off-beat living room furnishings, picture frames, stationery, bags, and more. Think Ikea, but minus the Scandinavian pragmatism. As the store’s Web site says, Propaganda’s wares are all about “the innate sense of Thai playfulness.” Propaganda can be found in the uber-fancy Emporium mall and the less-swanky but still upscale Siam Discovery Center.
