Where To Buy Board Games In Bangkok?!

[Huey]

WOW, I just got back from Battlefield Bangkok and it's like Gammer Heaven. I have been here for 8 years and I never saw anything like it here in BKK Paragons book shops don't even hold a candle. BB over at Piyarom has got, about 50 different new board games, stuff like Arkham horror and Conan, about a half dozen different Role playing games like D&D stuff and Vampire. Miniature war games like Warmachine... plenty of tables, Its' just hot. Plus there's like a ton of shops to eat and get some snacks and what not.

Went and checked out the store myself.

Good selection of western style boardgames.

The real bonus over Kinokunya, it's got space and copies of the games opened to try them out before you grab em.

I mean I been to Kino and It's all stuffed tightly packed near the kids book shelves. Trying to get at one game I had to pry 5 others out of the way. Not real convenient. Really easy to knock half of it to the floor. (How often did this happen before I got to them?).

Downside? Well My wallet is a fair bit lighter after I came home with some stuff.

Monopoly is definitely available, the Thai version of course.

My kids played for hours when they were younger.

IMHO the Thai version of Monopoly is rubbish!

I have recently seen a game called ChiangMaiOpoly for sale in Chiang Mai. This version is based around Chiang Mai bars and life from what I can see on the website - it looks pretty funny to me...

Checkout their website, at the obvious .com address for a game called chiangmaiopoly

I hope that is okay with the mods? I'm never sure in this forum anymore...

Just got in from Battlefield Bangkok myself. Great store, nice falang owner that is very knowledgeable about his products. Picked up a game but wanted to buy them all....lol. If anyone lives in the On Nut area and likes these kinds of games let me know.

Bunch of new stuff was in the other day, I think Small World, Dice and some other items I'd not seen last time I was in. Had to grab a copy of Small World!

Can we find games like this in Battlefield Bangkok ?

[TheLaughingMan]

No but I got a dog bowl and 5 dice I can sell you for 500 baht.

Just came back from Battlefield Bangkok as is it quite near from my place. Very nice people over there. They didn't have what I wanted but it was possible for them to order anything I need, so I just have to wait for it now

Hi

I see the Battlefield Bangkok store has moved now, bigger location about 300 meters up Suhkumvit 101/1 on the left on the second floor of the building in front of the Golden Pearl Residence Hotel

Thanks thread necromancer, I had no idea a place like this existed in Bangkok. Looked at their webpage and they got tons of stuff, and leagues and tournaments and everything. Gonna have to make my way down there.

Yeah, BFB is a great place. We play L5R and Malifaux miniatures game there all the time. Great way to spend the weekend - although continuous visits do reduce the thickness of your wallet.

Does the shop carry traditional games? I've been looking for a place to buy a nice wood Go board in Thailand for the last year...
