saweden Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 (edited) Can you help me help my neighbor? She has been looking for a kind of shop that sells small glass pearls and similar shiny stuff to make bracelets from. Thanks in advance for any tips!

Rooo Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 There is a hobby shop in Samui Town Center on the ring road, I haven't been in , maybe worth a look. It's one of the first shops in the complex when heading towards Bophut from Chaweng. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropicalevo Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Have a look in the shop houses on the road leading to the Lake from the traffic lights on the ring road near Tesco. Driving from the lights - past the College of Tourism, there are about 4 sets of shop houses on the right hand side. I think that there is a hobby shop in the second set of shophouses. If you get to Poolmart or Lucky Star on the right (or the gold shop on the left) you have gone too far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one of the first shops in the complex when heading towards Bophut from Chaweng. Mostly artist supplies, paints and canvases, etc.... but might be worth a try... not been in there for a while!

I think it closes at 5 pm when it is open! There is quite a good assortment of odd ball stuff in there, you can't find else where....staff usually helpful too!
