I thought this might help us Nakhon crowd to find things easily.

Please add your experiences and recommendations on products we want and use.

ask:

Im looking for the best shop to buy the latest DVD's (master copies), where do you recommend ?

Avocados from Tops (Robinsons) are the best I have had and are currently 49 baht each.

A very useful thread for NST newbies like me.

Three questions:

1. Is there an authorized Apple dealer in NST?

2. Are there any vegetarian restaurants in Tha Sala? Or at least vegetarian friendly? I've heard mention of a place downtown on Ratchadamnoen Road , but that's a bit far from here.

3. Does anyone have any experience with Amon Bicycle Shop in Tha Sala?

Thanks.

Plug & Play is dealing with Apple.....they have a main office close to Carrefour and a second office in Robinson.

[up-country_sinclair]

^ Thanks. I'll check it out.

[maimeearai]

is there a second hand english book shop in n.s.t ?

[up-country_sinclair]

^ Not that I'm aware of, but I'm headed down to Amphur Muang this weekend, and if I come across anything, I'll let you know.

By the way, can anyone recommend an electronics store in Amphur Muang NST? DVD players, digital cameras, MP3 players, etc...?

[CPH]

Plug and Play near Carrefour have alot of different electronics etc.

[maimeearai]

I was told be someone today that N.S.T has a Panthip Computer Shop ?

Is this the case and if so , where ?

I didn't come across one when I was in town last weekend. There's a chance I'll be going again this weekend, and I'll keep my eyes open again.

By any chance do you know if they have a good selection of MP3 players?

Have you bought anything from this shop before? If so, did you find them reputable? Would you recommend them? I stopped by briefly the other day, and wasn't overly impressed with the staff.

I need to buy a desktop, and am thinking about buying one in the box at either Tesco or Carrefour.

Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

[callum06]

Tesco or Carrefour will just sell you the computer without an OS, better going to a computer shop!!

[Captain Haddock]

callum06 is quite right. I bought a PC from Tesco the other day for a pal, came with only freeDOS installed and it only cost 400 bt to pay a computer dude to installl the OS and all the other whistles and bells software at a local shop in a couple of hours.

I haven't used Pantip before (though I agree with ups about the staff!), and there are other shops along the Ocean/Tesco road that sell desktops. ups, have you considered Plug and Play near the post-office (opposite Nakhon Garden Inn)? They have a guy in there who's a native English speaker and he seems to know his stuff.
