Papaya Studio was founded by owner Mr. Tong (Supoj Siripornlertkul) in 1977. An antique aficionado, his journey of collecting and trading antiques started at the mere age of 14. Despite making antiques his business, Mr.Tong loves to collect than to sell them. For him, every piece holds a certain memory.

The four-storey massive warehouse is filled with basically anything that you can, and cannot imagine. From ceramics found in the Eastern Europe to retro furniture, art, bikes, curios, mannequins, life size Star Wars figurines, the possibility is endless. Mr. Tong and his team travel to Europe every three months to source for antiques to add to their existing collections. Meaning there’s always something new on every visit.
