i'm a fledgling collector of model airplanes (1:400 scale, die-cast metal or plastic).

i used to buy my wares in Central Plaza and Fortune Mall in BKK.

having moved to Pattaya, where can i go to to sustain this hobby?

thanks.

I recall seeing a model shop on the second floor of the mall containing Big C on second road. I have not been in that shop, but I do recall looking in the window and there were some scale models. You should check it out.

I did see a small shop when you enter Villa Market, right across from the resto inside Villa.

There's a shop on 2nd Road (or it may be Soi Thappraya here) very close to the junction with South Pattaya Road, between that junction and Soi 15. It's opposite where the Baht buses queue to take passengers to Jomtien, outside the school. It has lots of model boats in the windows and is quite a big shop, so they may stock what you are looking for.

It has a strange name like Pattaya Shoes.

Naka.

You know, just as you enter the Villa Market, I've seen an actual

shop that carries all varieties of models. It's not a kiosk but an

actual windowed store across from the registers. The villa is

a pleasant place to visit next time you're in the neighborhood.

Onzestan's already listed that one! my oversight.

^checked out the shop near the Villa Market in J Avenue Mall. (ended up stuffing on my grocery and supplies instead)

they have scale models, indeed, but very limited designs.

will try the other suggestion from Guderian

thanks.
