The Inspiration Store



Playground is a fun, quirky boutique store in Thonglo, Bangkok, Thailand. It has got book stores, art stores, top end product line, restaurants, cafes, unique interiors, all meant to inspire the young, hip and the urban person. You can notice it from the main road..they have quite a quirky looking huge rabbit standing outside.
Playground divided into 3 floors. The first floor houses the biggest magazine store of Thailand. It has a great collection of Thai and English magazines. And a sizeable music store too. Plus a Starbucks and the Vanilla Industry restaurant.



Second floor is known as the mecca of trends. This is where you will find the biggest design and fashion names from all around the world. You can buy a Jean Paul Gautier umbrella, Lara Bohnic sunglasses and wallets, Dolce and Gabbana. There is also a travel store, stationery story all done up in quirky, amusing ways. There is an art and graphic design bookstore. You can browse through the latest books on graphic design, fashion, photography, illustration, advertising, interiors etc.



The third floor, features many living, kitchen and décor products, all top brands again. It’s definitely worth a dekho. The top floor also has a small section where art exhibitions are put up or the place is given for art and fashion seminars. What an awesome place to discuss art! So browse around, listen to music, check out the exhibitions, get inspired, learn about the newest trends, buy a couple of things if you want, eat at the fusion restaurants on the top level or just laze at Starbucks with coffee…well sounds like a wonderful way to spend the Saturday.
