danone Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 was slightly lost at emporium. they have not a single board game for sale, with the exception of a chess for babies. and lots and lots of computer games, ninjas and all that stuff. question: before the arrival of Toys R Us this summer, is there a shop in bangkok with a selection of classic and new board games?

danone Posted April 14, 2006 Author Share Posted April 14, 2006 no board games available in town. went to emporium, central chidlom, paragon - paragon didnt even have a chess board, go figure. but loads of shooting computer games. and this country wants to become the capital of books!?! another manic self-overestimation. the average person here reads half a book, sorry, half a comic per year. therefore no board games - seems to be too exhausting to play those. cant believe that there isnt a shop in bangkok with such games ... any other idea?

CrazyFrog Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 At Central Chitlom, that's not easy to find what we're looking for! I was looking for a Scrabble game few months ago and didn't find it easily! I'm sure that they have Monopoly game and other board games! What's exactly the game you're looking for? I'm going for shopping today with my nephew so I'll take a look around! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was in Paragon on Wedesday and there is a Toy fair on the top floor exhibtion hall, not that good but the had scrabble etc maybe worth a look for you.

sylvafern Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 Toys R Us (Central Bangna or Carrefour Rama 4) is the only place I've ever seen a semi-reasonable selection of games ... they have monopoly and Cranium (adults and kids versions - very fun game!) among others but they didn't have trivial pursuit which is what I really wanted to get.

Thailand aint the land of wide variety of goods and services to be sure. you can however get 26 types of 5 baht noddles as 25% of super store's shelves are dedicated to this.

thohts Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 I bought 'Life' in Singapore and my gf here loved it! Now I want Monopoly, because that's the game I really want to play. I know where Central Bagna is, but where is Carrefour on Rama IV? The map on the Carrefour site is in Thai, as is the Toys R Us site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thohts Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Found it. I went there, looking for Monopoly, but they didn't have it. Scrabble, Upwards, and a couple of Thai "millionaire" games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkk_mike Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 (edited) Went to Toys R Us at Central City in BangNa today, and they had an OK selection of board games. Monopoly (Thai version - which has English on all the cards, as well as Thai), Yahtzee, and at least 6 different versions of Scrabble (My First Scrabble, Junior Scrabble, Scrabble Deluxe, Travel Scrabble, Pocket Scrabble, along with the regular Scrabble game. Fortunately they were all in English (not sure how Scrabble could work with Thai vowels being what they are...) They had a few other board games as well, but I didn't notice some things I'd expect to see in the west. (i.e. Cluedo.) The display said that Thai Monopoly was a special for Toys R Us, so might only be available at their two stores in Bangkok and nowhere else. Compared to the Toys R Us stores I've been to in Japan and the UK, it's a small store, but it's definitely bigger than the toy section of department stores I've seen in Thailand. P.S. Ignore the map on their website which seems to suggest that Central's across the road from Bitec. - It's a few kilometres further out towards the outer ring road along the BangNa-Trat road.

chonnikan Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Try this new board game cafe - Settlers Cafe [website]. They have tons of classic and euro board games. Some of them are for sale. If they don't have the games you're looking for, you can order it with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Sabum Piyarom is just before Sukhumvit 101/1, it's a large low level shopping park on the left. It's easy to see from the Sukhumvit and about 200metres after the new E11 BTS station. Entrance is directly from Sukhumvit Cheers Kwai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
