Re: Hobby Shop in Bangkok, Thailand

I don't wanna say this but....i only buy model in Thailand when i had no choice or normally i wait until i go back to Taiwan or i order from Joe..and Suite R u say u are looking for old model rite? u can forget them...they don't exist in Thailand..modeling is are very new thing here soo don't expect anything above 5 years..because after 97' we didn't get any new stuff until resently soo during the couple of years we finish up all the old model's...Thailand is amoung the worst place in the world where u want to buy model i live here soo trust me...

Re: Hobby Shop in Bangkok, Thailand

Siam discovery movie floor (top floor) get of the BTS(sky train) at the siam station it shouldn't be too hard to find. another place is RCA just the the taxi driver u want to go to RCA and he know where it is..u have to walk around RCA a bit but is there somewhere i don't go there often since i can't get in after 7~8 because after that time u must be 21 to get in (alot of club/pub there)
