There was a section inside Robinson's, at the back of the stationery and books section (calledB2B?) that had arts and crafts stuff including balsa wood. I think they now have their own, big shop nearer the front of Central, near the glass elevator end but I'm not sure what floor it's on.

Hobby House in this thread is still showing as active in Google. Might be worth giving them a call

Thanks...yes I did see that old post but no web site showed up in a search.
Went through street search on Google but the reference to it's location that was described there didn't help much at all.
Assumed details too old.

Edit:...were you referring to CB Hobby House Co. Ltd. ..?

Yes I was & yes you're right, on further investigation the location map pops up with somewhere from the government complex in the middle of Udon nowhere near the Sam Phrao Road address.
It seems to return on plenty of Google searches but nothing else & the quoted website is unavailable so perhaps it doesn't exist any more.

Good luck with your search
