Hi Everyone! 

I am looking for an affordable chess set to buy in Hong Kong for around 500 HKD. Are there any good shops that I can check here? 

Thank you for your help.

Go to Amazon, there's a chess set that costs around 21 USD (161.7 HKD to be rough), and shipping costs 80 HKD so the total is around 241.7 HKD

Thank you so much. Do you mind sharing the link with me? 

I found this one:

https://www.amazon.com/Amerous-Inches-Magnetic-Wooden-Chess/dp/B07N5ZS5QP/ref=sr_1_16?dchild=1&keywords=dgt+chess+board&qid=1609814233&sr=8-16

which looks pretty good.

I also recommend the wegiel chess set.

you can buy it in amazon, they have different size.

I bought this a few time to give my friend as a gift lol. They look pretty nice

It's one of the best set that can hide the folding border of the chess board. The design make the chessboard seem like it's not a folding one

LOL btw you can buy this one in Taobao too

Thank you so much for your suggestion. It looks nice, but I wanted a wooden chess set. I should have mentioned that in the post, sorry!

Yea, this one looks really great. I managed to find a seller on amazon, but it's a bit out of my targeted price. I will check taobao to see the price there. Thank you so much for your suggestion.

Mind you but I live in hk, Im not from it

Yeah they might be a little bit out of your budget. But you can look for a smaller one. I think they have different sizes from 16" to 23"? You can check if the smaller one is good for you.

MindfulMountain

Oh yeah, you might want to search for a wooden chess set instead of a chess set.

Royal Chess Mall is another nice choice but may be a bit over budget.

The house of staunton is also a good place.

I just got a good set from them recently. The board was damaged during shipping but they sent me a new one.

Anyway, in Hong Kong, please really consider buying a set that can fit in your home. You know we have very limited space, if the set is too big that you always put it under the bed or inside a wardrobe, it has no point.

Well, my set is just next to my bed that keep me looking at it all the time to train my sense. (better visualization?) Nobody really play chess in front of me in real life lol.

The chess store also sell very good chess and they have very good looking metallic chess set!

this one : https://www.etsy.com/hk-en/listing/460022570/magnetic-chess-small-pieces-chess-set?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=&ref=sr_gallery-1-1&pro=1

that is almost 200 HKD but i only can find this one this cheap.

also TaoBao or Amazon, 天猫 is good but i think you have less chance of getting a chess board in Tmall.
