Fortune Town or other IT places open?

[bbi1]

Does anyone know if Fortune Town is open, or other IT specialist places?

 

Alternatively, does anyone know of any shops around Silom/Bangrak selling mice for a laptop? One with a good range to choose from.

No mention of Home Pro or Baan and Beyond.  Stores in Malls should open but what about stand alone stores?  I guess they could be described as department stores.

"The same CCSA source said yesterday he did not believe shopping malls will be allowed to reopen under the Phase-2 lockdown, saying they should instead be among the last businesses to resume normal operations.

Claims which stated that shopping malls will reopen around the middle of this month probably came from “shopping mall owners who wanted to test the waters”, he said.

“The reopening of department stores will depend on whether people can take care of themselves,” the source said, adding their public awareness is crucial to prevent new outbreaks."

 

Inspections are ongoing in some malls ????????

That would be only a couple more weeks. Hardly devastating!

I live near Fortune Town and go there often, but I find that Lazada is the best place to buy a mouse. The prices are often hundreds of baht less and if you buy from a local store, you'll often get it in a day or two. You'll also find a better selection on Lazada. From some reason if you do a search on Lazada for <computer mouse>, you don't a full selection. Best to search for <Logitech Mouse>, <Microsoft Mouse>, etc., on the Lazada site, you can then narrow your search from there.

Thanks. Did you see Fortune Town open as you pass by it often?

As it classes as a Mall it should be open on Sunday.
