Anyone looking to play boardgames in Thailand, there are now several good options in Bangkok and Korat.
Here is a map with their locations:

So how does this work? Regular or specific days or nights?

Many of them are opened all week (or with a day or two off). Mostly afternoons and evenings.

There is a web address or facebook page under the descriptions of each shop on the map. They often publish opening times there.

Hope this helps.

The one in Korat is closed on Sundays, but open every other day until almost midnight.

This is what it looked like when I was in there last. I'm there 2 or 3 times a week.

Here is their facebook page if you're interested.

What do you mean by board games? Monopoly risk etc?

Thats as recent as I got. lol

Could a guy who hasnt played anything for 20 years rock up and be welcomed/fit in/not embarrass himself?

You can check at the specific location, but usually they will have "entry level" games, that are accessible to anyone.
