French mega-label Dior opened a temporary ‘Gold House’ concept store in the upscale Ploenchit district of central Bangkok on Dec. 8. The space, with a facade modelled after the brand’s historic Avenue Montaigne flagship, showcases work by Thai artists and houses a ‘Café Dior’ featuring desserts from three Michelin-starred chef Mauro Colagreco.

The move comes amid a flurry of investments in luxury retail in Thailand. A $3.2 billion upscale shopping district, One Bangkok, is rising in the Thai capital’s diplomatic quarter, as legacy department stores and malls in the city and around the country renovate and expand their footprints.

Thailand’s personal luxury goods market is set to reach $2.4 billion in retail value this year, increasing at a CAGR of 9 percent through to 2029, according to Euromonitor.
