Pantip Plaza

If you are looking for anything computer-related, you just can’t go past Pantip Plaza.

It really is a mecca for anything electronic, with over five floors to choose from and computers, laptops, LCD screens, cameras, and so on. There is so much to choose from, you will probably have a headache in no time.

If you are unsure exactly of the specifications of what you are looking for, slip out the front door, turn left, and walk along a block and there is an Internet café that is as cheap as chips. Do your research online and then walk back to close the deal.

There is also loads of pirated software and DVD’s for cheap, but not as cheap as other places we have been.

We were there when they were running their mega-sale, and it was so crowded! And nearly all locals.

As with most shops in Bangkok, it was open until 9pm at night.

More than five floors of computer related products. The computers were no cheaper than Melbourne prices (and probably no better), but the software, games and DVDs were VERY cheap. Whatever software you want, they have it. If, like me, you have a Mac, you need to dig a little deeper, but it is there. (Well, not there exactly. It seems that they had a little trouble with authentication of software and now it is all kept off site. Barter, fix a price, and the shop assistant gets on the phone to organise delivery. Kind of unnerving until you get the hang of it!

I managed to get a CD containing the latest version of most of the common Macintosh applications for 100 Baht. That's cheap, and registration is already done for you. Sadly, I upgraded my system recently and had to buy all more software here at normal prices!
