Where To Get Electronic Parts?

[beb]

Can somebody direct me to a shop that sells electronic parts? Something like Radio Shack in the US? I have a great set of Monster earbuds that have a broken wire and I really want to revive them with a new miniplug. I just walked pantip looking for the plug and/or somebody to do it but was told that the wires are too small to repair.

Well I'm pretty sure I can do it myself with a borrowed soldering iron.

So, any suggestions? Actually, if I found the right person I think I'd like to just replace the entire cord with something a bit more durable since these things get banged around quite a bit.

Thanks!

Amorn has a few places around town - the big one on the North side of the moat has a service center. For sure the shop has the mini-plugs. The service center (around the corner from the main shop) might be able to do the soldering too.

There is Amorn, Kitty on Chang Phueak, and the shop at the Y intersection behind Wat Phra Singh called the Ham Shop. There are also about 3-4 electronic shops in the vicinity of Kasem Store off Chang Moi. Take your pick.

Thanks for the replies. I'll try Amorn today.

I just found this place. It seems to have even more electronics than Kitty or Ham...

For me, don't know the shop name, but corner Charoen Mueang and Bamrung Rat Road - 1st stoplight east of Narawat Bridge - southeast corner, bright led lights and tv dishes on display outside.

Behind the sales counter, a wall of bins containing resistors, capacitors, etc. - like Radio Shack!

To me, Amorn has almost nothing in this regard.

Thanks for the replies. I went to Amorn and they didn't have what I wanted. In the end I found a little place in Airport plaza on the 3rd floor at the Aquarium end called Eartips and they replaced my mini-plug for 250 baht. More than I planned to spend if I did it myself but worth it to revive a pair of great earbuds.

I forgot about that place. Yes they have a lot of stuff. But a lot of it is lower-grade stuff from China. But there is a lot of useable stuff there.

Old thread, but good I found it. Thumbs up for Kitty, they helped me 2 times and it was quite cheap. Bit difficult to park, but for 5 mins it's ok with the hazard lights I think...Thai style . Went to Poly first but they have limited stuff and are overpriced.
