Where To Find...?

[Griizley]

So, after searching Google and having another thread posted on this forum...I have another few questions I was hoping the forum could help me out with in Bangkok.

Here are my questions mainly about where places are, because Bangkok is a very large city that I have very limited experience in. I am fairly ignorant when I am in BKK. (Google is my friend, but I have searched and I just want to be 100% sure and some places I could not find)

I am wanting a new passport card and I want to figure out how to do an absentee ballot. Where in the US embassy? I just turned 19 and have never received a Passport card so how much do you think it will cost to get one?

I also want to do some clothes shopping while I am in BKK so what is the best place to get clothing? I already know I am going to MBK. Can anyone point me in the direction of name brand things such as American Eagle and Lacoste? I have had a hard time finding good American Eagle clothing and is there a suggested place for good flip flops, preferably American Eagle ones, haha.

Where is the best place to buy a Macbook Pro with an English Keypad?

Any suggested places to buy an Xbox 360 or other gaming consoles?

Best suggested place to get a blackberry and accessories?

Many thanks for helping me with my many questions

Pantip Plaza for the electrical gizmos....Cebtral for expensive clothes.

Where is Cebtral? And do they also carry plaid shorts? Haha, thanks!

Pantip Plaza for the electronic stuff, or Fortune City. A taxi will take you to either... Insist on the meter. (50-80 baht depending on where you are starting from and traffic.). Last post meant to say Central... The Chidlom store is most central (haha). For exclusive brands, Siam Paragon or Central World. If you are up for a trek, you can spend half a day walking from Central Chidlom at the Chidlom BTS station, up to MBK, and you will be able to do both the others on the way, plus more. (wear comfy shoes and cool clothes, and take water.). If you want to shop non brand, for a 19 year old, try Union Mall (at the Phaolyothin MRT stop). Big yellow building. (the Central mall there is closed for renovations). If you go to Union Mall on Saturday or Sunday, you can go back one stop on the MRT to MoChit/Chatuchak and take in the Chatuchak Market... More comfy shoes, cool clothes and water... It's huge. US Embassy is on Wireless Road (Thanon Witthayu). Walk up from the Phloenchit BTS station about 1km. Hope this helps.

Best place to get the electronics stuff is USA.

Probably the clothes too although I've seen Lacoste in Central and there's an outlet shop here in Pattaya.
