Where To Get A Photo Calendar Made

[daveh]

My wife and I just had a bunch of photo calendars made at FedExKinkos in the States. Basically, you go to their website and upload 13 photos (one per month plus a cover), and optionally add important dates, then they print and assemble the calendars for you. For my family, we uploaded a bunch of photos from Thailand. My wife and I would like to do the same for her family, but instead of photos from Thailand, we wish to use photos from the US. The calendars they print here in the States have the US holidays on them. I'd like to find a place in Thailand that can print Thai calendars for us. This would be relatively low volume (less than 10). Can anyone recommend a place, preferably in Bangkok, that can do this? It would be a bonus if we could upload the photos before going to Thailand in January. Thanks.

I think for 10 calanders it's going to be very expensive!!! Try Art Asia Press, Bangkok

In the States, it's about $18 per calendar for that low quantity. Basically, they are simply printing them on color laser printers and binding them together with spiral binders. I figure if we can do it in Thailand for the same or less, it's a win as I would not have to carry them on the plane adding weight to our luggage. I'll look up Art Asia Press. Thanks!

hey there, I reckon they will totally over quote you for that amount of calendars - guess you need a smaller org

I think most copy shops can do that for you. Be sure you bring in a calendar (the dates/holidays/language) you want. They'll basically enlarge the photo and print them on pages the size you want, and then they'll flip them over and print the months on the back of the pics. Then all there is to do is put a spiral binding on it. Prices should be comparable or cheaper than what you did back in the US.

Thanks. Any recommendations on where to find copy shops? Would some place like MBK or Central Lat Prao Shopping center have one or two?

Yep, any of those places should be able to do it. Haven't been to MBK in awhile, but I do remember on the bottom floor there was a shop specializing in huge posters.

I got a local mom-n-pop shop to reproduce 2 spiral books (printed on both side with photos). Very inexpensive.
