PMK Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Has anyone compared Pantip prices to those at Tukcom? Also, I may be looking at buying 12 or so computer systems. Any suggestions for a shop in either place where I can talk to someone knowledgeable in English about motherboards, display cards, etc. and has all around good service as well as competitive prices? Thanks, Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sniffdog Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 The choice will be larger at Pantip. As for prices, if you stick to the Tukcom branches of Pantip (eg Hardware House) the prices will be the same. As a resident of Bangkok and a frequent visitor of Bangkok, I was never impressed (and still not) with Tukcom. Good places in Pantip are JediCool (great service) and Busitek (experts, with the high end stuff available). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webfact Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 (edited) You should try also Fortune. at least when it comes to MAC. Pantip is a very crowded place (I hate these "sexy movie guys") and IMHO lacks customer care and consulting!

monty Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Indeed, if you stick to the "chain" shops like JIB, Hardware House etc, prices will be exactly the same. The only reason I might want to go to Bkk, is for some high-end stuff, busitek is mentioned, good for CPU coolers and high-end cases. Not to be found in Pattaya!

seank Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I can compare the price of memory. All the vendors in Tukcom were quoting me 1300bt for the memory I needed which I thought was a bit high. So I waited till I got to Pantip and asked there and was quoted 750bt. Big difference for the same product so my advice would be to stay away from Tukcom.

frenchFARANGbkk Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Hi, Any online price listing for Pantip or fortune and Tukcom ? What about guarantee, I guess that computers company don't have service centers in Pattaya ? So you have to go to Bangkok anyway to repair your computer or accessories ? Thanks.

SurfRider Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 . Two friends who are very tech savvy have had several PCs built by a guy at TukCom and they highly recommend him. His name is Khun Gong and he works at the "Banana IT" outlet on the 3rd or 4th floor of TukCom -- not the "Banana" across from the top of the escalator, but the one on the outer perimeter of the building. They say to deal directly with Khun Gong ONLY and nobody else in the shop. He quoted me around 11,000 Baht for a fairly high-end PC without Monitor several months ago. .

TigertheCat Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 I recently purchased a high end PC from Jedicool in Pantip,these are experts and service was superb,the only drawback is if something goes wrong and you have to return the unit to them for repair,www.jedicool.com Buying 12 machines locally would seem a better option though in your case as 1 or 2 are bound to give some initial trouble. Go with Hardware House as recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praglen Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 I am trying to find a shop in Pantip Plaza that sells ADSL modems and one that sells software(copies are o.k.) named Rosetta Stone. Any suggestions? Especially E-mail addresses so I can contact them first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praglen Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Looking for speakers for my notebook pc, whose mini-speakers are shot. Called Tesco Lotus, found prices begin at 800 baht. I know I can buy speakers for as little as 200 baht, but they're worthless(I bought some and I can attest to that). Does Tuk.com in Pattaya offer a good selection of decent speakers at a reasonable price(600 baht or more)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

how241 Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Anyone know when the New TukCom or IT center will be open, on Pattaya Klang? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darrel Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Anyone know when the New TukCom or IT center will be open, on Pattaya Klang? The ads in the local papers always say "soon". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langsuan Man Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 If I were thinking of buying more than one computer I may be looking at buying 12 or so computer systems ) I would contact invader IT and have them give you a quote http://www.invadeit.co.th/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h90 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 But Busitek is bad if you have a problem. They try everything so they don't need to replace it. I avoid them as good as I can. While Hardware House and JIB may not know what they sell, but if you come back and tell it is not working they just send it in for repair and call you when they get it back. Don't expect anything in matter of information....Take Internet.... Hardware House and JIB have the price list on the web. I always let them assemble the computer, which they do nice and neat and let them install their dogy pirated software (which I remove at home) just to have a quick idea if everything works.

If you want to test a PC it's best to do so from an Ubuntu Live CD that you have downloaded yourself. Dodgy pirated software could install rootkits that may be difficult to remove unless you are an expert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
