shal Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 Hello. I am visiting Thailand (Bangkok) from Australia in 4 weeks. I'm interested in visiting Hobby shops that sell Radio Control Cars, Boats & Planes. Does anyone know where Hobby shops might be located in Bangkok ? What are the prices like ? Thanks! shal..

StateSix Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 I couldnt tell you what the prices are like, but there is a smallish shop on Royal City Avenue (RCA), which has a lot of radio control cars. Its on Block C, the same block as the S&P restaurant, at the other end of RCA from Tops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenfuji Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 There was a large variety of radio controlled cars at Patpong market when I was there. Probably similar to other markets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khun Bob Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 First time in bangkok i got lost looking for jim thompsons place, afetr walking from mbk past national (i think) sky train and came across a hobby shop. There was quite alot of good stuff in there - planes, cars, tanks and some helicopters - well known brands tamiya, ripmax etc. Even though there was 3/4 thais in there no one talked to me - find that hard to beleive as farang comes into shop that looks like it could do with some business ! Sorry i cant be more specific over location - it was in Oct 2002. Maybe someone else can be more accurate. But this is the best hobby shop i have seen in bkk.

phazey Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 There is a nice local store in the Bangkapi area - on Nwamin road called "Hi-tech kit"..i get most of my heli spares from those guys. Also i know of a flying field where a load of guys go - even if you can't fly it's great to go have a look (one old thai guy and his little stunt plane 'prop-hanging' around the field...brilliant) I'll get the adress in a bit from the missus...
