December 19, 200718 yr Yes i know its very 80's yuppie but i really could do with one for work, i have looked in lots of places around town and i can't find one! Anyone know where i could buy one?
December 19, 200718 yr What is a File-o-fax??? It went the way of the dinosaurs. No, wait, that was the Rolodex. The File-o-fax went with the dodo bird. -- Maestro The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place
December 19, 200718 yr They have those in Bangkok, Central Chitlom men's section, Paragon, etc. 3000+ THB for a decent one.

I lost a file-o-fax once Man was I worried Not about losing it - that was a blow My worry was someone finding and reading it. Mike's Shopping Mall has a good section of men's goods - if not on the ground floor which has gone more souvineer tourist goods try upstairs men's section / leather goods

Mike's Shopping Mall has a good section of men's goods - if not on the ground floor which has gone more souvineer tourist goods try upstairs men's section / leather goods I doubt they sell the originals in Mike! Yeah I saw them too in some BKK shopping centers. 3,000 Bht actually is not such a bad price. However one must assure to get the yearly renewals as well. I was also addicted in the Filofax many years, but at the end, the Blackberry replaced it...like it or not. Moo9
December 19, 200718 yr As for most things, this is a personal preference, and it is hard to agree on one solution. I use fILOFAX myself, but that doesn't make me a better person (disappointing but true). But I find that a combination of paper based and electronic is best for me. Your milage may differ... I get my yearly refill at the Emporium at 999 Baht. Quite steep, and I would suggest to ask some kind fried in Europe to mail you a more generic (non-brandname) pack for a lot less. In Thailand it seems to be difficult to get a pack that is anywhere near the real stuff.
December 19, 200718 yr not in the mrket for a File-o-fac (got a laptop....) but a decent looking leather map that can hold an A5 or even A4 notepad is something I couldn't find in ten years! Only those cheapo artificial leather ones that still cost 1,000 Baht and fall apart 3 seconds after purchase. I visit customers with those 7/11 notebooks, and also here it is hard to get some without cute doggies on the front cover...
December 19, 200718 yr Raro, Try the men's department at Central Chidlom. I got what I think you are after there. It is black leather, with a zip, space for an A4 pad on the right, and small pockets for cards and stuff on the left. Mine was called "Jacob" for some strange reason, but I shall not hold that against the little bugger. What is in a name anyway? Good luck!
December 19, 200718 yr Raro and Hssl Try the stationary dept up stairs at Friendship, I think I saw both requests yesterday, otherwise Silpaban the stationary shop just up from Foodland on Pattaya Klang. Great range of art supplies and stationary.
December 19, 200718 yr Author Slipaban............ nope Office world....... nope Office depot....... nope But i'll give friendship a try!
December 19, 200718 yr If you want the real stuff, go to BKK. It is as simple as that. There are still some things we cannot get here in Pattaya.

Slipaban............ nopeOffice world....... nope Office depot....... nope But i'll give friendship a try! ditto! I got my last one in WH Smiths. If that's any help. not unless you tell us where that is...
December 20, 200718 yr WH Smiths used to be a chain of high street bookstores/stationery shops in my time in the UK, and probably still are, good shops they were for sure. I have not seen any branches in Pong, or for that matter in Thailand. So a good try, but not that helpful unless one is in the UK.
December 20, 200718 yr I couldnt find a refill for my filofax this time last year so this year I had a friend bring one out when they were on holiday! Some of us dont need the expence of a blackberry etc for a few simple reminders hence my filofax still suits me.
December 21, 200718 yr Slipaban............ nopeOffice world....... nope Office depot....... nope But i'll give friendship a try! Friendship ....... nope
December 23, 200718 yr Author Just got one in Office Depot next to Big C Pattaya Tai 580B Oh there is a Budda!
