buadhai Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 Dictionary Search on "Zillion" "An indeterminately huge number." Maybe you should update your list of numeric terms.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaaaaa Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 All over, but MBK has a zillion; some under 1000 baht. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm not famialiar with the term 'zillion'. Where does it come from? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> does it matter ? I bet you know well enough its meaning anyway. how does knowing or not knowing it helps one to buy used cell phone ? I agree with mgnewman - Mbks is probably best place. although such shops are almost every where in Bkk - in MBK (Maa Boon Krong) on the 4th floor there are who knows how many shops for new and used cell phones etc. it is next to Siam Square - and closer to BTS (sky train) station "National Stadium", which is next after Siam and on the line from Thaksin bridge. ther is a walkway from that staion directly into that mall. or simply ask - MBK. however some taxis may not understand if you say - MBK, so if you can't tell them Maa Boon Krong in thai - then just tell driver take you to Siam - and cross the road there ....

Distinguishing between the truth & falsehoods always matters. I only asked a civil question. Anyway, I'll bet that there aren't anywhere near a zillion phones in MBK, maybe several thousand. I'll count them the next time I'm up there, but I have to be careful as I come over all giddy at such heights! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buadhai Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 I only asked a civil question.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> And I believe I supplied a civil and honest answer. And, I do really believe that there are "an indeterminately huge number" of used cell phones at MBK. I shouldn't like to be charged with the task of counting them, anyway MBK is a good place to shop because there are so many outlets that it's easy to compare prices on used models. There are also a number of vendors selling SIM cards and accessories. I'm always bleary eyed after a few minutes of wandering around up there.

I did hear that the police were looking into the number of 'stolen' cellphones that were being offerred for re-sale at the MBK. take note of your phones IMEI number - put *#06# into your phone and the 15 digit number will be displayed. This number can be used by the police if your phone was stolen from you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weasel Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Do Pattaya’s residents ever wonder where all 'our' stolen mobile telephones end up? The local pawnshops. Criminals told police that they spent their ill-gotten gains in local entertainment venues in town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
