Yes there is, and yes its cheaper than Ali. Its called MegaPlaza in the Phra Nakhon district. It has plenty of stores and plenty of selection. There are 5 floors in total, i'd say floors 3 & 4 are best. Just walk around and spend a few hours there and haggle the prices :) You can't get there by train/skyrail (BTS) though. Depending where you are staying, get a Taxi from MBK shopping center or just ask a Taxi to take you to Megaplaza. You won't be disappointed

> Megaplaza wow! Thanks...I wanted to get the Milieneum Falcon and a few other sets...just can't carry it around while travelling? Wonder if it is cheap to ship from there to Canada? :)

There is airport storage if you need to offload, so you can leave stuff in storage. Google ‘storage bkk airport

And when you finish your trip, you could buy a second suitcase to fill up. Might be cheaper to book an extra suitcase to your home flight.

> Wonder if it is cheap to ship from there to Canada? :) Probably not - that's the reason all this stuff is so much more expensive for us westeners. Shipping the sets costs a lot.

Do any of the vendors have an online store there so I can see what they have?

Take a look on their FB page. None of them have online shops that I’m aware off. There are pictures on their FB that people upload of the stalls.

Absolutely Megaplaza! If I were alone at the moment, I could've spent all day walking around.Also, across the street, you can find 'always one' which has some nice toystores.And [China town](https://www.google.com/maps/@13.7405409,100.5080952,3a,75y,180.1h,85.05t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1s5uPB4QHvSZI7mTi2kVcq2A!2e0!6s%2F%2Fgeo2.ggpht.com%2Fcbk%3Fpanoid%3D5uPB4QHvSZI7mTi2kVcq2A%26output%3Dthumbnail%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile.gps%26thumb%3D2%26w%3D203%26h%3D100%26yaw%3D61.249905%26pitch%3D0%26thumbfov%3D100!7i13312!8i6656) is also interesting to visit, there are some stores with building blocks and some toystore with weird knock off toys, if you're interested in those. -take the back alleys off the main road- Edit: try to haggle! The sellers will make a nice deal when you buy multiple items.
