Pony travels: Bangkok, Thailand!

[Tigerlilyx]

Just wanna share this piece of info with everyone!

I'll be travelling to Bangkok this year with my mum for a very much-needed break. But.. what is a trip without pony hunting? Recently I had a friend who bought me Blossom (2007) and Baby Snookums from Bangkok for my b'day but she forgot the place she got them from. With little and vague information, i've intensively searched and googled for the exact location and hit jackpot afew days ago! So I thought i'll share my research here in case anyone plans to holiday in Asia.


Rod Fai Market (aka Talad Rot Fai/Train market)
Opening Hours: 17:00 - midnight (Thurs-Sun)
Location: Srinakarin Road Soi 51 (behind Seacon Square)

I hope you're excited as I am looking at these photos!  It'll be my first time going there. Basically its an open-air market selling all sorts of goodies: vintage memorabilia, antiques and toys. Worth a google search; it looks like a massive treasure trove, who knows what you might find! Anyway, there's one particular store in the market that is a must-go:

Dollar Shop
Warehouse 2, Room 22

Here's a photo my friend took at the store afew months back when she's on holiday:

I've contacted the store on their Instagram and they still have ponies for sale. In any case i'll leave the contact details of the store at the end of this post for everyone's reference. I'm sure other stalls/shops in the market that sell ponies too but I can't say for sure since my friend didn't cover the place properly. Only one way to find out! Fyi, I know major shopping malls there have G4s in abundance. I personally get more hyped up whenever I discover vintage ones in the wild. 

If anyone encountered other good pony-hunting spots on their travels, please feel free to share! Likely will update this thread too as I go along on my trip in the very near future.

Have fun and safe travels! xoxo
