Sathorn Shopping

Banyan Tree Gallery

Exclusive to Banyan Tree products, the Gallery is home to all in-house spa products and the hotel’s amenities. Essentially through staying at the Banyan Tree Hotel you get the chance to ‘test drive’ the products on offer - including sponges, towels, dressing gowns, slippers and cute animal beanies.  As well as these, there are incense burners, oils, Banyan Tree perfume (delightful), teddy bears (of course) and bed linen.

For those who are not fortunate enough to be staying at the Banyan Tree, the gallery serves well as place where tokens of this famous Bangkok hotel can be purchased. It is also a dead cert for people looking for gifts to take back to loved ones. With quality that is reminiscent of Jim Thompson’s, you will be sure to find a suitable token from Thailand that carries the characteristics of the place.
