Antique swords in Bangkok?

[Spin1]

Hi everyone,

I am about to embark on my trip to Bangkok and I have heard there are quite alot of good old swords (not the modern tourist-orientated one) around town. Can anyone suggest any shops, markets etc (and their whereabout) so I can make a detour while my wife's shopping?

I am in principle looking for Thai swords but am also interested in Chinese swords, as Thailand used to import quite alot of Long Quans in the past right?

Thanks for your help guys.

try posting in the Asian forums here.... I believe they have beautiful forged swords...not the tourist souveniers but the real mccoy. trouble is, you probably have to order them in advance.
