Record stores in Bangkok

Vinyl hunting in Bangkok, Bangkok? There are 14 record shops mapped here. That's 14 record shops mapped around Bangkok. Every shop grades and prices differently, so the same record can be a bargain in one and a splurge in another — dig everywhere. The new-arrivals bin is always the first stop — that's where the good stuff lands before anyone else sees it.

This guide covers every record store we could verify in and around Bangkok (within about 40 km), built from OpenStreetMap's community-maintained data. Names you'll run into include ชมรมดนตรีคณะประมง and KU Band, plus Fusion Music Shop. If a record shop's missing from Bangkok's list, it probably just hasn't been mapped yet.

What the map tells us about record stores in Bangkok

None of the 14 has opening hours in the map data, so treat this as a browse-and-discover trip. Record shops keep fairly standard retail hours; daytime visits are a safe bet.

The Bangkok record crawl

Record digging tips for Bangkok

Digging in Bangkok? A few habits pay off:

• Don't overlook cassettes and CDs at ชมรมดนตรีคณะประมง. The tape and CD sections are chronically underpriced. The format revival hasn't hit them the same way.
• Buy the weird stuff at KU Band. Private pressings, local bands, oddball compilations — the strange records are the ones that appreciate.
• Ask the staff what's new. Shop staff know what's just come in and what's about to. One question can save an hour of digging.
• Check Discogs before big purchases. A quick price check on your phone keeps everyone honest — you and the shop.

Good to know

We searched about 40 km around Bangkok — that covers the town itself plus the surrounding communities you'd reasonably drive to. Listings come from OpenStreetMap, mapped by local volunteers, so a brand-new record store in Bangkok can take a while to appear. Spotted a closure among the 14, or a record store we missed entirely? The map is the source of truth here — one OpenStreetMap edit corrects it for everyone.

We don't list prices or stock — both change by the day. What we list is the where: real shops, verified by real mappers.

If you run one of the 14 listed here and something's wrong — a closure, a move, new hours — the fix is the same: update the shop on OpenStreetMap and the correction flows through to this page on the next daily refresh.
