VINYL RECORDS in Thailand?

[deepthroat2 0]

Hi, weird topic but here goes - I have a hobby business buying and selling vinyl records, and if I can buy old vinyl records while on my trip to Thailand (Bangkok, Phuket and Pattaya) I can write part of the trip off as business. Also, I LOVE asian vinyl so if I can find records while there it will definitely make the trip more fun.

 

Anyone got ideas on where I can find used vinyl records in BKK, Phuket or Patts? In the USA and Europe you find them all the time in thrift stores ("charity shops") and at specialized music collectors stores. What's the best bet in Thailand?

 

The more specific the information you can provide the better. I'm indebted to you for your assistance!

Weekend market, Suan Lum night market and Bo Bae market in Bangkok - you may find stuff on any given day. I've never seen a place that always has them AND is stationary. Itinerant sellers mostly have this sort of thing.

At least one shop in IT Mall has boxes of used vinyl and there may be others. Probably on the 4th floor. I only took a brief look awhile back and as I recall there was mostly Western pop and classical stuff and the prices seemed high. I don't recall seeing any Asian stuff but I didn't really spend much time browsing. Go during the day as they and a number of the other small shops there close by 18:00.

 

You might also ask the DJs in Bangkok re possible sources.
