Are there any left which are part of the original design? PS. Apologies if this is in TRT II (my bookstore sold out immediately) |

Hardly, only about a handful remaining. Do a search here on International Market and Trader Vics, and you'll see a thread showing the recent destruction. |

Actually, they only demolished one small corner of the marketplace,unfortunately it was the original Trader Vics location. BUT, the rest of the marketplace has many of the original tikis. Plus there are the carvers there doping their thing and lots of tikis in the shops, AND the THOR STORE. The place is always buzzing with people and it's a fun time walking thru and shopping. |

Thanks to Filslash, I can happily confirm the existence of many of a tiki there. |

Hmmm... I must have missed them all too. Because all I found there was a crumbled shell of its former glory. The former Trader Vic's bulldozed into oblivion. The cheap trinkets being hawked were everywhere. And if you so much as paused to look at a booth without buying something, they practically sneered at you. Not a friendly place to shop. Just a place to get some cheap eats and that is all unfortunately. At least the banyan tree is still there and we can dream of what once was... |
