Jigsaw Puzzles

[delboy]

I have a friend visiting me in a few weeks and he would like to buy some jigsaw puzzles to take back for his wife. 1000-1500 pieces, preferably views of Thailand.

Does anyone know a shop that has a reasonable selection? About 10 years ago I knew of several places, but 10 years is a long time in CM and they no longer exist.

I did find a shop on the ground floor of the Carrefour superstore but they had a very limited selection.

Thanks.

One of the free standing small stalls on ground floor of Airport Plaza, near big fish tank, has quite a lot--mostly for kids but I seem to remember seeing a few Thai scenes,RamaV etc..--worth a look [ a shop in Kamphaeng Phet has stacks but you probably won't be visiting there, if you are looking for fun anyway!]

this is slightly different, but i use a photo hosting gallery called fotopic.net that converts your photos into jigsaws and other bits and bobs for you. had a couple done last christmas and they were really good. so your friend could take snaps of chiang mai and have custom ones made up like that.

edit: hope this isn't considered as advertising, mods. apologies if so.

Thanks for the suggestion. I think it's a great idea to get your own personalised jigsaw, but I really think my friend is looking for something he bought during his trip. I might use the service myself later as I'm fond of the odd jigsaw puzzle.

I think the big water tank disappeared some time ago, but I know roughly where you mean. I'll take a look next time I'm in town. Thanks for the suggestion.

Well, so it is. Apologies to all. It does seem a bit smaller than I remember it. I thought it was at least 2 floors high.

I must confess that I haven't noticed it for 6 months, or so.
