I Wonder Why!

We have just spent two hours in the Platinum shopping centre in Bangkok and in one part of the mall there is a clothes shop called Galashiels. I happen to know that Galashiels is a small town on the borders of England and Scotland and if only my Thai were much better I would have asked how they ended up with a shop with that name. Fascinating! For references, here is a link to that Scottish town, population just over 12,000: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galashiels Please note, this is not criticism of anyone or anything, just wondering aloud.
