Genuine Maglite Spares In Bangkok?

[GungaDin]

I need a few replacement bulbs for my Maglites, the AA size torches.

Does anyone know the location of a vendor in BKK?

cheers

Gunga... its me again.

Go to the Siam Paragon, looks just by the sports department, loads of stuff like that there, camping gear, knives etc.

Ok, thanks

I always bought bulbs at one of those small shops in MBK that's on left side as you walk toward Tokyu. If memory serves me correct its close to Tokyu and located on same floor that goes out to sky train.

After 3-4 years of buying bulbs I dumped my Maglites and now use LED flashlights. Longer battery life and no need to buy bulbs. I have one that has a small sealed lead acid battery that you can recharge. The battery is about the size of 2 D-cells.

Thanks BB.

I'll look for the LED torches if I can get into MBK.

On my way to Seacon Sq to have a browse.

The Maglite is a nice flashlight, but not much good without a bulb. I am looking for some also. By the way, are you aware of the spare bulb under the spring in the end cap? Handy, but I used mine allready.

In Seacon Square 2nd floor - close to the entrance to Tesco Lotus is a camping store. They have them. There are 2 sets of main doors. It would be the doors near to the car park - not the Srinakarin side.

Mission accomplished, thanks to yr clear instructions.

I spent a few bob with him on maglite bulbs and a "you-beaut" single, bladed, pen knife from the bottom of his showcase as you enter the store.
