roban Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 (edited) Has somebody been there before? I need some things for our network and PC's. I know, I can get them in Tukcom Pattaya, but I try to avoid it, because of the parking situation. Because I have to go to Chonburi anyway, I thought to have a look at the TC in Chonburi too. Is it worth the visit? Whats about car parking? Somehow bigger/better/cheaper..? Edited April 25, 2012 by roban Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timekeeper Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 i have been there its a pale shadow of Tukcom in Pattaya or Siracha cramped multi storey parking, few shops not worth it in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saengsureeya Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 IF people are looking for an alternative to TukCom in Pattaya, they usually end up in SriRacha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PattayaParent Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Yes Tuk.Com Sri Racha is good, cheaper than Pattaya too. But there's parking in the multi storey at Tuk.Com Pattaya with a shuttle bus to and from the building which is only 200m away anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Conners Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Yeah what do you mean by because of the parking situation.? Follow the signs all around Tukcom to Tukcom Car park - it's a multistory facility with I think 400 parking places and a free shuttle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigt3365 Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I've been a few times to the one in Sri Racha. It's OK. I'm not sure I'd say it's bigger than the one here in Pattaya? I think both are a huge mess of many shops all selling the same stuff. But, it seems to be the way they do things here. I miss Fry's!! Sri Racha does have Piyanas. Great stereo stuff...for Thailand anyway... Parking here in Pattaya's not too bad, but my last few trips spent quite some time trying to find an open spot.

roban Posted April 26, 2012 Author Share Posted April 26, 2012 (edited) I was in Tukcom Sriracha today. And I like it, much quieter and bigger inside, no noisy russkies. It's just my subjective opinion, but it seemed the sales staff was much more friendly and politely, than in Pattaya. OK, it isn't comparable to "Zeer Rangsit" in BKK, but much, much more pleasant than TC Pattaya! Car parking is also "no pompem" . I will come back, "for sure" Edited April 26, 2012 by roban Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patekatek Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 If you do decide to use or visit the Chonburi store, here is a parking tip. To avoid the disaster they call a parking ramp there is parking on the north side of the building. There is an open lot that you can turn into immediately past the store. Much, much easier than using the ramp. My problem with the ramp is that I have a full size pickup. Small cars would have a much better time getting parked. This building is new and continues to get new retailers setting up shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Conners Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 It's correct that particularly on market days the Pattaya Tukcom carpark can be quite full. That's not really Tukcom's fault though. It's been a couple of months since I visited SiRacha Tukcom, but at that time half of the shops seemed shut. As for size/floors I think it's about the same size as Pattaya Tukcom, and as others have pointed out, it seems to me to be more shops selling the same stuff. It seemed a lot more run down than Pattaya. Also for parking it is no better than Pattaya, the carpark is much smaller and just as likely to be full.

MJCM Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Any news on the NEW tukcom in Pattaya on central road? The ads in the local papers always say "that it will open soon". Freely after Darrel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danlo Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Tukom is dated half the time the escalators are broken and the warranties are often worthless when buying an item, many apparent genuine Nokia's etc are fake and when you have a problem with a phone they deny you bought it there or say it was different owners so cant do anything.

IT shopping centers are a thing of the past.Take a look at Panthip,there are only 3 shops left being jib hardware house and banana it with each 99 branches in the same shopping center.
