DarkByNight Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 (edited) Hey, just wanted to introduce myself. I am Michael and I moved to Chiang Rai a month and a half ago from tiny, cold Denmark. So far I haven't really met anyone other than my fiance's many many friends and family and I figured it might be nice to talk with some other farang. Anyway, I will hang around so if you want to say hi, feel free to! PS: Is there anywhere is Chiang Rai, other than Big C or walking street market (1 booth) that sells games? I'm amazed at how few games there are to buy in a place like Chiang Rai. ^^; Edited February 22, 2011 by DarkByNight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villagefarang Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Except for bedroom games, many of us prefer to get out and about, rather than play games. Not even sure what kind of games you might be referring to. The Rai is a great place for an active outdoor lifestyle. Of course when the heat really kicks in we do look for more to do indoors. Get yourself to the Hash, Potluck and various other social gatherings where many of us congregate. You will soon have too many farang acquaintances. Welcome to the Rai.

RedBullHorn Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Welcome Michael, I'm a gamer especially Call Of Duty (pt 2,3,4,5,6 and 7) , i only buy from a shop in big C, the 1st shop outside facing the entrance/exit next Bata shoes shop, service is good and aftersales service is even better, unlike some other shop with cute booties who doesn't know their products Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedBullHorn Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 (edited) They show no interest in recommendation in the category of game i want and when asked they haven't got the slightest clue on what the game scenario is, graphic or IA level of any title...and just to clear any doubt, yes i speak northern Thai with a perfect accent. ...don't i, Jubby ?

harsu Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Hello from another relatively new arrival. What sort of games are you looking for? If its for PSP 2 you can get some up here, but for PSP3 there is a very ,very limited supply north of ChiangMai . If you let us know, my younger informant may be able to tell you if or where you might find some. Maybe when Central plaza opens a Games shop will open too.

harsu Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Having spent the last ten minutes being castigated by our resident expert on game systems for showing my ignorance on the forum, I will now try to correct what I said. Playstation 2 games are everywhere, but BigC is the'best place to get them'. Playstation 3 games - there is a limited supply kept in stock at the Sony store (on the main shopping street where Da vincis and Boots are) but they have a brochure and they will order in what you want - it takes 2-3 days. The Tesco lotus, on the left hand side of the Superhighway going up to Mae Sai has some new and secondhand Playstation 3 games on a small independent stall at the front of the shop (before you actually go into the main shop. They also have some Xbox and Xbox360 games. Hello from another relatively new arrival. What sort of games are you looking for?

DarkByNight Posted February 25, 2011 Author Share Posted February 25, 2011 Thank you for all the hello's and good advice! What I'm looking for is pc games. I know walking street night market has one booth and I hear rumours that big c has a shop with games but alas I have yet to find the shop. I'm mostly always up for a cup of coffee, either at our home or somewhere else, people are free to pm me to get together for coffee (Or in rare cases, when the missus allows, a beer. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sceadugenga Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 OK, if you come in the main gate to Big C go around to the right where the main car park is. Park or whatever and walk to the shopping mall doors on that side of the building. Don't go in, look to your right. On the veranda is a Computer program stall. Games mak mak. Alternatively come in the main gate and go into the smaller car park on your left. Enter the Mall by the entrance facing the highway. Inside the mall, turn left. You will come to a small shop with many games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sceadugenga Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I like the other guy as well, he's always friendly and the products seem similar as do the prices. I certainly wouldn't ignore him if the veranda shop never had what you wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedBullHorn Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 (edited) On top of that i think this would be the only shop that provide a stamp on a card everytime you did a purchase, after 5 stamps you get the 6th game for free as a bonus. Oh...this shop is only PC games, softwares, PC upgrade and repair.. Edited February 25, 2011 by RedBullHorn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
