MaxVaber Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Hey everyone, I am about to leave the UK to go travelling for 5 months. First stop is Bangkok! The bad news is that I managed to lose my camera at my leaving party! I'm guessing it'd be a lot cheaper to buy one in Thailand than it would be to replace it here in the UK? I think i'd like to buy the same model again, seeing as it was fairly new and I got on well with it. Here is a link to the camera it's a Casio EX-S600. Can anyone tell me roughly how much it would cost to buy one in Bangkok? Also can you recommend a good place to buy it? Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks!

percy2 Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Thanks for the help guys.So I will be able to find some decent electronics stores in there then? Are things much cheaper in Bangkok compared to the UK? Lots of good stores here. Are things cheaper? Use Google and check before you go. This web site is good for checking prices. Your camera 215 quid. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cali Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 This camera goes for 6K baht in the USA, 8K baht in the UK, or 14K baht in Thailand. Conclusion: don't wait to buy your camera in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
think_too_mut Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 This camera goes for 6K baht in the USA, 8K baht in the UK, or 14K baht in Thailand. Conclusion: don't wait to buy your camera in Thailand. Wherever I saw that cam, it was almost identical price: 14500B or so. Duty free at the airport would sell it for similar price but would give extra memory, a bag..that works out about 10-12% cheaper than retail in the city.

thai4u Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 duty free is definatly the best place to buy as in addition you get a warrenty in your home country. In thailand warrenty not worth much . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaxVaber Posted April 24, 2007 Author Share Posted April 24, 2007 I'm flying out Gatwick, so do you mean to buy it at duty free there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
