angiud Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 My small computer shop in Koh Phangan has better price (15-20% cheaper) and order quickly what they don't have. Ciao spaceinvaders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdenner Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 (edited) I'm currently in Aus at the moment and stocking up on new toys, here is an example. I have ordered a 1TB Seagate external HDD with eSata and USB2 interfaces etc. AUD delivered $152.00 or 4600 Baht. The same item advertised on their site is 6192 Baht see here: http://www.invadeit.com/ProductGroup.aspx?...d3-a471af904c39 High import duties make buying in Thailand prohibitive so I buy here at home and take back as much as possible or get a friend who is traveling to do it for me. I found years ago PC and most Electronic hardware is much cheaper in AUS than even Pantip Plaza or Fortune Town. Anyway looks like they are well stocked and I wish them luck.

nikster Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Don't think Thailand actually has any import duties for PC equipment. The prices I find there in the shops are usually pretty close to U.S. street prices - give and take a few percent. The Baht has just gone up, so things are once again more expensive over here - but it's not because of import tax... Another thread says import tax for laptops is 40% which is obviously false since an Acer laptop here costs pretty much the same as in the USA, again give or take a few dollars. Keep in mind prices here include VAT most of the time, whereas US shops and online shops quote without VAT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacemunk Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Way overpriced. I rather go directly to the distributors and buy stuff off them , i.e - Com7 , Dom , Synnex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary A Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I gave the new business a shot but found out they had a 30 to 60 day delivery time. In addition they were considerably more expensive than Thanni. I sent them the Thanni price and they told me Thanni's price was below their cost.

Perhaps they should order at Thanni too :-))) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
