Toy shops in Bangkok (updated in 11 August 2009)

My last trip to Bangkok (Thailand) was in July 2007, time flies and there's several changes to the toy shops since my last visit. See my previous post HERE

Here's my recommendations if you want to go toy hunting in Bangkok:
**Note: most toy shops closes between 6pm-7pm so plan your timing. And mostly the price are more ex than SG or HK too, so unless you are getting that rare collection you've missed else these places is just another walkabout to quench your toy thirst while away from home.

(A) Pirom Plaza (near Chinatown) **highly recommended**
Be ready to spend at least 1 whole day here!!
Address:
921 Mahachai Rd., Wangburapapilom
Panakhon, BKK 10120
Opening hours: 11:00am-6:00pm

Housed a huge collections of mainly gasphon collectibles and some misc action figures.
The one and only place i know in Bangkok which is for toy collectors like Singapores CSC and Hongkong's CTMA center.

Pure Otaku's heaven like Tokyo Aikihabara!!

There's also a lot of shops selling cameras equipments, card games and video games.

There's also a few scattered toy shops in Bangkok as well, but they are not so concentrated like Pirom Plaza.
(B) Fantasia @ Siam Discovery Center
444 Phayathai Road, Pathumwan
3rd Floor


(C) Iamtoys Exclusive @ MBK Centre

This is like the cha-choo-chart of toys, dvd and games manz...all nerds must come here.

Capsule heaven, all capsule here are selling in bags and bags!!! Capsule collectors will go crazy here..i can't resist and bought some kamen rider capsule here as well.



I AM TOYS is HOT TOYS distributors in Thailand.

Taking a break, this "Coffy & Toys" cafe sells cool drinks and snacks except toys hahaha~!!!
This auntie makes customised and order-than-make Iced Milk Green Tea bros~~ die die must try, it taste better than MOS burger ice milk tea.


Overall this is good place and almost the only place to toyhunt for geeks.
Great place if you got money and want to hunt for those hard to find figures. No money than buy the capsules here lah...as for buying new toys, we can get better price from Japan, HK or Sg.
I also went to a few toyshops at MBK center but i forgot to take photos :P

Will try to post the toys i bought in BKK once i am free. Over n Out...
