ThaiPauly Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Whilst in the Night Bazzar last night I could not help but notice that every fourth stall which used to sell DVD's and CD's were gone. Has anyone else noticed this? Another clampdown perhaps?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulysses G. Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 I haven't noticed as I stick to the one in front of Starbucks. He is honest about prices and the quality of each individual video. I haven't been there for a week. I hope that he is still around! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maejo Man Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 The one in front of Starbucks was there a few nights ago as I exchanged some DVD's and bought some new ones. If there is a "purge" on, I'm sure it will not last... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeaceBlondie Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Related topic: where are the vendors of Western classic rock and roll CD's? Not the DVD concert material. I would pay 300 baht for a Lynnrd Skynnrd album that includes "Free Bird," but nobody has it, here or in the night bazaar in Patpong in Bangkok. There was one booth on the first floor of Bangkok Panthip center that copied albums for me, but that's so illegal I almost didn't do it (but for 100 baht to get 8 full albums, I sinned).

mickmac Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 There was quite a number of police out and about on Chang Klan last night, which may have been the reason of the no-show of the DVD chaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulysses G. Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Man, do I LOVE 24. It just gets better and better. Prison Break gets you hooked too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dan Sai Kid Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 My other faves are Desperate Housewives and Lost - but I download those instead... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulysses G. Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 (edited) Lost had me totally addicted, but it seemed to fizzle out at the end of last season. I found out later that - for some reason - the DVD stalls didn't include the last few shows in the "box set" and totally ruined the whole second season. If you buy the second season now, you get it all, but who wants to buy the whole thing over again for just a few episodes? Edited January 20, 2007 by Ulysses G.

The Dan Sai Kid Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 (edited) U can legally download episodes of Lost if you have a US i-tunes account - it is about 100 baht per episode. There other ways to get them too - but we can't talk about that here. Suffice to say I just watched last Sundays episode of Desperate Housewives. The best place to buy the DVDs is in Mae Sai in that little market just to the left of the border (approaching from LOS). Everything there is completely up to date. EDIT: I have since learned the best thing to do is a little research on the internet into how many episodes a series has - since they seem to spread the episodes over the same amount of DVDs, regardless of how many episodes have been shown.

britmaveric Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Well apparently Lost packaged Fall/Spring Seasons. I bought 2nd season, thinking it was all episodes, but only first 9 episodes. I ended up having to buy it again to get last 13 episodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dan Sai Kid Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 (edited) You can also get these on bittorrents - but not in LOS, as this is illegal EDIT: You can PM if you want more info! Edited January 20, 2007 by The Dan Sai Kid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donnyboy Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Well apparently Lost packaged Fall/Spring Seasons. I bought 2nd season, thinking it was all episodes, but only first 9 episodes. I ended up having to buy it again to get last 13 episodes. I hate that when that happens its better to question the stall on the amount of episodes the season has. Also check the info on the sleeve for clues on number of episodes. Been watching Entourage, totally hooked but they only have 2 seasons, also will buy weeds soon as I heard its hillarious.

up-country_sinclair Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 can anyone recommend a DVD shop that has a high quality copy of 'Borat'? IME the more recent the movie, the lower the quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulysses G. Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 I got Borat from the stall in front of Starbucks about 2 weeks ago and it seemed perfect to me. Bear in mind that it is shot documentary style and Borat has a heavy accent that is difficult to make out sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres one selling DVD/Cds and one selling DVDs only. Personally, I like the one with just DVDs only, they have the most range and they seem nicer.
