Museum of Counterfeit Goods Featured in Top Ten Thailand

Top Ten Thailand

Top Ten Thailand, a website that compiles interesting stories from around the world, recently sent two of their representatives to visit the Tilleke & Gibbins Museum of Counterfeit Goods. Our museum was then featured in an online article, “For This Museum, You Must Look Closely,” which was published on their website.

Based on an interview with Tilleke & Gibbins attorney Parichart Monaiyakul, the article begins by defining counterfeit goods. It then goes on to detail how the museum—being one of a kind in Asia—is intended to serve as an educational tool for students, government officials, and the general public. The article also provides a detailed analysis of the counterfeit products displayed in the museum. According to the article, the most unexpected product found in the museum is counterfeit books, which the authors felt would not be worth the hassle to be produced.

If you would like to read the full article in Thai, please visit the Top Ten Thailand website.
