Need cartridges for 8-bit game consoles, new or used.
Any shops selling them?

Those are just novelty items now, are they not? It's been almost 20 years since the 8-bit Nintendo Entertainment System was discontinued in favour of the 16-bit Super Nintendo, at least, and I guess it was similar for other 8-bit console / home computer offerings from Sony, Atari, Commodore, etc.

Perhaps Bangkok has a store for old nostalgia stuff where one could luck out and find old games, but the chance of one existing in Hua Hin seems extremely slim, at least. Sounds unlikely that one could get any outside ebay or similar online used goods / auction web sites?

What do you need one for? There are excellent PC emulators, and lots of web sites offering the ROMs (ie cartridge contents dumped to file) for free, if you just want to play the games.

A friend of mine brought one console called Dandy (Russian analogy of Nintendo) with some games on-board (packman, battle city, Mario etc), and I wanted to show our kids the games that we played when we were kids - chip and dale, ninja turtles and so on...

In which case an emulator would be your best bet.

Don't expect them to be impressed, by the way :)
