Is there a specialty battery shop in BKK? Need one for an older Panasonic camera.

I'm only in Bangkok for one more day, so Lazada isn't an option.  Is there a physical shop that stocks eclectic batteries for cameras?  Preferably unlike the one I found in Icon Siam that wanted more for batteries than I paid for the camera...  (They didn't have my specific battery anyway.)

 

Lots of choices online, but I need one today.  TIA.

Maybe find one online and then try to lookup the shop. For some shops that is easy. They you can go there or let them deliver it with a motorcycle within an hour or so.

Really great idea. Those old batteries can be tough. I get extras for my cameras.

Fortune town. I got a Lumix battery there.

Still interested in any other battery shops, but closing the loop here...  I found my Lumix battery at Mr Battery on the 2nd floor of Fortune Town, in the same area as the 7/11.  It was over twice the online price (650baht vs 260baht), but I'm still all in at $45 for a camera that cost about $500 new. So if you have time to order online, that's the way to go.

 

I used to buy assorted camera batteries on the same floor (the camera floor..), but that shop's gone.  They sold mostly Nikon, so it's not surprising they're not there any more.
