Best computer store for......

Featured Replies

I'm looking for the "Best Buy" of Bangkok. Big box store where you can reliably go in and get a decent product at a decent price without haggling and questionable products.

I'm not looking for anything super special but in my next visit I'd like to pick up an

1 - External ssd external storage drive (250-500gb) with type C and USB 3.0 connectors. Solid brand like sandisk, etc....

2 - Small portable computer display Like the Uperfect 7" monitor https://tinyurl.com/yym636vk

 

What's the go to store for either or both of these?

 

Thanks,

Have a wander around Fortune Town IT mall, it's next to Phra Ram 9 MTS station - there's plenty of stores in there. All the big chains were there the last time I went.

Powerbuy, JIB, BananaIT, ITcity, Central, Jetcom, Advice  - at Pantip Plaza, Fortune Town, Imperial World and some have branches in many of the big shopping malls.

 

Online JDcentral, Lazada, Shopee etc...

We have had exceptionally good service at our local ADVICE store in Warin Chamrap, Ubon Ratchathani.

 

Bought a WiFi extender, not faulty but range was bad, they happily exchanged it for a different model the following day.

 

Desktop power supply went bang, fixed for a decent price.

 

Needed a replacement battery for our emergency light, they sold us an equivalent to the original which was much cheaper, even though they also had the original brand.

You can go to Jib or Advice headquater, as most of their branch location is very small, so you won't get to browse anything on the scale of best buy. otherwise, relying both 

 

Banana and IT city is not worth it though.

 

Or wait until there's a computer fair at one of the convention center, most shops will bring out everything on the hall floor, the suppliers will bring theirs at reduced price.

I went to an Advice shop, and the guy could not even change sim cards, I then went to a local shop, and the girl did it very easily.
