Condé Nast Traveler

Condé Nast, a U.S. mass media conglomerate, ranked Tilleke & Gibbins’ Museum of Counterfeit Goods as the third best museum in Bangkok in a recent feature for its Condé Nast Traveler  website. The feature provided first-hand experience and descriptions to rank the top ten museums in Thailand’s capital city.

The Museum of Counterfeit Good is a niche museum displaying over 500 counterfeit items that have been successfully confiscated through the workings of the intellectual property practice of the firm. The detailed description accompanying the ranking provides a perfect summary of this captivating collection. “It’s very cool to see, but there’s a much larger purpose: To educate the public about copyright infringement and the consequences of buying fake goods.”
