model drones

[swbaggies]

Hello

Does anybody know where in Phuket town, or the island, sells remote control drones?

Im looking for either somewhere that sells spare parts or new units or both

Any help would be great thanks

Robinson department store in town has them. Toy department 3rd floor.

What about a general toy shop. Any good suggestions?

[hansgruber]

I can't think of a general toy shop that isn't in a department store.

Toys r us is at homeworks but they have no drones.

Not in Phuket Town, but Lazada has some nice choices:

Wow. Some are nearly 70k baht.

There is a quality model shop on Chaofa West about 2km out from Chalong Circle, left side, small place. They specialise in remote control planes etc, so I assume have drones ..

Central has them at 3 floor behind the small mobile phone shops.

There is a small shop which sells the drones.

Thank you to everyone...

LivinginKata.... im a bit of a novice with google maps, ive tried to put in the 7.50 ref at bottom and it doesnt find it. Do you know the google maps reference, or can you confirm its on the same rd as living mall and home pro as i always get the West and East road mixed up... Thanks

Some are easily 5x that still in consumer realm.. For pro work 10s of 1000s isnt that unusual..

UAVs extend far beyond just toys.

Got 1 for the little bloke for Xmas, 1900b from Toys R us, great fun and really easy to use.

Buy online also. twinprohobby.com one of Thailand best RC shops. Not based in Phuket, but very fast shipping and really know their stuff.

The RC shop mentioned by livinginkata is easily missed if driving north because they sign on front on building says "insurance". When driving south the sign on side of building says "RC". Limited stock there and many items he needs to order. Online option far better IMO.
