Playing cards?

[gandalfinthai]

Does anyone know where I might be able to buy playing cards in Hua Hin?
I have poker game tomorrow night and no cards!
Thanks.

most 711's sell them for around 200-300 bahts

I went to five 7/11s last night and could not find cards. Any other ideas?
Thank you.

toy shop in market village?
stationary shop on phetkaseem rd, next to esso petrol station?

As said, almost all 7-11s that I've been in have them. Maybe I was just lucky?
As gambling is illegal, the cards are behind the counter, but on display, normally around the cigarettes.

Yeah definately 'most' 7-11's & Family Mart's have them in, they always behind the counter though next to the cigs and headache tablets. Think they're kept behind the staff to prevent any spontaneous outbreaks of 7 card brag in the shop floor. They're not always easy to see though as in sort of wood pigeon holes with delivery notes and handbags sitting on them.

The various Tesco-Expresses dotted around town that are 24 hour (I think), do them too. My wife's got a spare pack in the drawers near the sofa too.

yup, been in 3 different 7-11s today and all had cards, just ask at the counter

I found them. Thanks, Rock Star - knowing they were behind the counter did the trick.
