Thinking about unique gift ideas for the holidays?<\/p>\n
There\u2019s a new jewelry and gift shop in Garapan\u2014the Somjai\u2019s Jewelry & Gift Shop\u2014which offers authentic Thai products at the ground floor of the Summer Holiday Hotel.<\/p>\n
One who visits Somjai\u2019s will surely notice the beauty of artistically hand-woven tapestries hanging from the walls of the shop, including one that depicts the Tala Nan\u2014or floating market\u2014in Bangkok.<\/p>\n
The shop also has silk ties with elephant designs on display, and wallets made from stingray skin from Thailand. It also has silk tablecloths, dining sets, and key chains\u2014all distinctively Thai in make and appearance.<\/p>\n
A main attraction among customers, though, is the array of uniquely crafted jewelry from Asia\u2019s Land of the Free.<\/p>\n
Business couple Somjai Detdon and William B. Curry are the persons behind the establishment of the shop.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s nothing here on Saipan that focuses on specific Thailand jewelry and gift items,\u201d said Curry. He and Detdon then thought of putting up the Somjai\u2019s shop to make a difference.<\/p>\n
The shop offers elegant 24-K gold earrings, necklaces, pendants, bracelets and rings made from Thailand gold. It also offers silver jewelry designed with birthstones and other precious stones, besides selling Swiss gold.<\/p>\n
Ladies and other guests would surely enjoy looking at Somjai\u2019s jewelry items, and, since selecting jewelry is a meticulous process, their companions could comfortably wait at the relaxing garden of the Summer Holiday hotel. Somjai\u2019s offers free refreshments to any visiting guests.<\/p>\n
The first business venture for Detdon on Saipan, the shop opened its doors to customers more than two weeks ago. Although there was no public announcement about the shop\u2019s opening, there were many guests who visited the establishment during its first week.<\/p>\n
While becoming known by word-of-mouth, Somjai\u2019s even had more guests coming to the shop during its second week, when advertisements about the shop\u2019s opening were made.<\/p>\n
Detdon and Curry expressed optimism that the shop would expand its clientele base when the new year comes in.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
