Pek Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Hello. Does anyone have any idea where could I buy a good Backgammon board in Bangkok? Does someone know any bars where people are playing backgammon frequently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKAsok Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 I meant to ask this very same question a couple of weeks back but forgot. I'm after one of those all-in-one little brief-case style boards. Nothing too fancy. Just something portable. Anyone have any ideas? I don't recall ever seeing a Backgammon board in any shops here.

xbusman Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Metro bar on Soi 4 in the back of the Raja parking lot has a backgammon board that gets way too much use. You can buy them there too, very nice leather ones made in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xbusman Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 They bought a few boards for their many bars and know the folks who make them in Phuket. They are good boards, leather covered and wear well. I am sure they could get one for you from their supplier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heideggerhelper Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Thanks for the tip, but you mean Sukhumvit Soi 4 right? Oh hel_l no. I'm not going down there... Anyone know anywhere else? I went on a minor quest to find the Metro Bar with the hope that I might find someone to play backgammon, a minor passion prior to leaving the states a few months ago. No such luck although I was offered the company of several attractive young ladies which, while I'm not gay or dead, I'm not exactly in the market for. I am looking for someone to play backgammon with however, doubling cube and all. If such there be please let me know through this link or my email: (removed) EDIT: please use the PM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
