Why lazada and not just a regular electronics shop? For example JIB or banana IT both have online shops

Hi again, Jack,

Thanks for the JIB tip. Just checked their website out and they had a competitive price and cash on delivery. Easy process too. Cheers for that ?

I have bought numerous electrical items via Lazada and never had a problem, or fraud. A go pro is not that expensive. Better though if the item is sold via Lazada itself than a 3rd party vendor.

Good advice, cheers.

Hi Jack,

I didnt realise they had online shops. But do they do cash-on-delivery? I'll take a look...

I'm looking to buy the Hero6 in Thailand. I've used Lazada a number of times for non-electronic gear and not had problems but I figured something like a GoPro might be more susceptible to fraud/copies. I figured a cash-on-delivery might be the best option as I can inspect the item when it's delivered.

Wondered if anyone out there has bought a GoPro on Lazada and whether they have any recommended vendors?

Thanks in advance.

Thank you.

I'm going to be closer to Ranong when I extend for my third month in my single-entry 3 month visa (I'm British). How is Ranong Immigration for doing the usual third month thing? Will it be a problem that I checked in at Ao Chalong? Anyone any experience with doing the 1900bhat third month thing?

Thanks in advance.

Polyester epoxy and welding. A sensible combination of jobs to do at the same time. An hour later and it's still smoking, which is the new paint they've just applied. Apparently this is the third fire in six months, not the second. The workers were too busy hiding in the shade and taking photos to help and some guy turned up in his pick-up and parked up to take a view, blocking the fire brigade.

The second fishing boat in six months catches fire in the yard next to PSS Boatyard (I reiterate that point, this is not PSS Boatyard). By the time the fire brigade turned up the boat was pretty much gutted.

There are numerous boats from foreign counties travelling for tourism around Phuket and neighbouring islands, which causes heavy water traffic congestion

Not the thousands of local fishing boats and ferries then?

We have a Class B transponder and it was on the whole time we sailed through thousands of Thai and Malay fishing boats when crossing over from the Maldives. Not one of them appeared on our AIS screen. The point being, it is half-hearted to make foreign pleasure vessels buy AIS but not enforce it across all vessels. We all share the same waters, after all, so therefore we should all be accountable. Most foreign yacht owners exercise safe seamanship etiquette; we run the correct lights at night for starters. Show me a local fishing boat that obeys international COLREGS and I'll eat my hat.

Whilst we feel we benefit from having AIS, enforcing it by using the argument foreign pleasure yachts create all the traffic is short-sighted and one-sided.

Haha, shortly after posting my request I came across InvadeIT and I'm impressed with both the website layout and the stock. They even have the Intel NUCs. Impressed.

Thanks for the confirmation and the sticky link. I'm on the case.

Hi all, noob here.

I'm looking for a reliable online computer store, specifically for peripherals like powered USB hubs. I'm also interested in, though not as important, the Raspberry Pi (I've checked out http://www.thaieasyelec.com/ and http://thailand.rs-online.com/ for Pi - any thoughts on these?), harddrives, laptops and NUCs if they're available. Any recommendations on reliable online stores?

I'm hoping they'll take credit card or Paypal and deliver to an address written in English, though this can be translated if necessary. Any thoughts on these issues?

I know this question has been asked before as I've done a search. Unfortunately the top results all come from old posts and some of the links are now broken.

Thanks in advance.
