triffid Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Anyone have an idea as to where I could buy this in Chiangmai? I need something with a range of a 100 yards or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrclough Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Pan Tip Plaza on Chang Klan Road would be a good place to start or one of the many Amorne stores Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapfries Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 (edited) Please bear in mind that, in order to purchase and use Walkie-Talkie devices in Thailand, one needs to apply for and obtain a type of "Broadcasting" license. I'm sure the retailer will be able to point you in the right direction. BTW; these licenses can only be held in the name of Thai Nationals. Safety & Security first, hey ? ! This is a bit like the Chainsaw; for this device in Thailand, one needs to obtain, what basically amounts to, a "Fire-arm License" - Believe It or Not Edited March 4, 2011 by jaapfries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotlost Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 I thought the cell phone made the walkie talkie obsolete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluweyze Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 To the side of Carrefour ( come out of Carrefour side entrance and turn right then on the left)is a medium sized store. In there is a walkie talkie retailer inside that has many different types and is very knowledgeable. Unfortunately I cannot remember the name of the store, it mostly sells mobile phones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SM7WGP Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Beware its forbidden for a farrang to use a 2way radio without the proper license in Thailand. Even the red color Cb radios must be registered. If caught by the Police very hefty fine or up to 5 years of imprisonment. So if you dont have the proper license keep your fingers away. I have the proper license for ham radio and it will take up to 4 month to do the paper work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triffid Posted March 4, 2011 Author Share Posted March 4, 2011 I wish you had been more precise; I can visualize 3 exits from Carrefour into their carpark - excluding the front exit. Anyway, I'll look around over there. To the side of Carrefour ( come out of Carrefour side entrance and turn right then on the left)is a medium sized store.
