Anatoly Ivanov Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Hi everyone, I need to print 100 pages for my BTT test in Singapore. I checked the prices and it is ranging from 7-15 baht, which is a bit too expensive. I also heard that there are some local offices that offer the same service for 10-15 times cheaper. If anyone knows, can you please advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaiMaai Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Best places to look (anywhere in Thailand) will be near the Universities or big schools as long as you're in a decent sized town or city.Sent from my TA-1021 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLewis Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 ^JaiMaai hit it on the head but it wont be available on Samui. University print shops near the campus are charging .50 stang per page now. Any university in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 50 satang will be for photocopying; printing will be a bit more but can't remember how much the shop I use charges. (1.xx) a page or something.

Catoni Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Make sure to print in Duplex Mode. You will need only fifty sheets of paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1FinickyOne Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 I live in the countryside and the small Thai city near me, they charge 1 baht per page... let them know it will be 100 pages - and ask for a discount. Being in the middle of tourist-tourist land, they make you pay. Expect it - accept it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KittenKong Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 40 satang per page in Jomtien, for runs of 100 pages or more. 50 satang for smaller runs. As mentioned, just look for print shops near colleges or high schools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a brand new Canon printer (made in Thailand) with scanner, at an Australian Post Office store for AU$29.00 (725baht). Ink lasted 3 months, as expected, then refilled. Here in Chiang Mai I get the bulk tanks refilled for 100baht each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khunPer Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 14 hours ago, Anatoly Ivanov said: I live near Bo Phut beach, Koh Samui To my knowledge it's difficult – I could never find a cheap enough printer only – photocopies you can have for 1 baht per A4-sheet, if many with some discount. I see two, perhaps three possibilities – apart from buying a 799 baht ink-jet printer, that normally comes with ink cartridge, from BigC or another shop with a good variety in consumer electronics – one is to look for a printshop near the University in Bo Phut (Chaweng); another is to find a digital printing house, I used one i Nathong a number of years ago, having both offset and digital print, positioned about middle of the busy one-way towards South shopping street (Ring Road) on the right hand side, but I'm not sure if they are still in business (the Fuji photo-shop did not do normal prints, when I asked a few years back); the third is the digital printing house in Bo Phut close to Tesco-Lotus shopping mall, "Infinity Design Lab", however they may not do individual pages, but rather 100 prints of same page. Hope it may help you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulic Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Printing is expensive, photo copping is cheap. As suggested buying a printer and printing off your own copy is probably the way to go. You could also check the condo administration office if you live in a condo. They may do it cheaply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
