bangkokburning Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Guy in Fortune Town recommended "Chinatown". Chinatown is a big place. Clueless, thx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgs2001uk Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Guy in FT doesnt have a clue, most of these shopping centres will have an electronics shop called Amorn, these shops sell remotes for everything, costs about 200 baht, cheap Chinese rubbish.

Gsxrnz Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Go to any second hand market and you'll see tables of hundreds of remotes for every TV, CD, DVD etc made in the last 20 years. Not sure where they are in BKK, but there must be dozens of them. There are at least 4 of these markets in Jomtien/Pattaya that I know of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantana Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Not sure where you are located. There is a remote control vendor in Dao Khanong, Taksin Rd on the corner of the soi that leads to the public swimming pool. He has a wide selection of every brand. I have bought TV and AC remotes controls there. Most sizeable indoor and open air markets will have a vendor selling remote controls. Just bring your old one, or a picture of it if it is lost. Most market vendors will be able to point you in the right direction if they understand what you are looking for. Good luck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkk_mike Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 If it's a newer model "smart" tv, you can simply download the app for your phone. Alternatively, I've bought a programmable remote before now. I think it was from HomePro or PowerBuy just... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwardandtubs Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Any idea how much these remotes should cost? I asked my local street vendor who has the exact one I need and he said 500 baht. I can't believe there isn't a Thai website which sells these things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dddave Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 In Fortune Tower, on either the 3rd or 4th floor, center of the bldg there is a very large discount electronics retailer with a whole wall of replacement remotes on the left end when facing the shop.

bangkokburning Posted May 27, 2013 Author Share Posted May 27, 2013 Hah, I forgot about this thread. I love you guys for keeping it alive. Amorn— no have, that was who I asked at Fortune. Cant use the tablet due to wifi config (thru apt) Thanks for tip around Taksin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant use the tablet due to wifi config (thru apt) Thanks for tip around Taksin. Out of mild curiosity... Why not go to Samsung?? eg. Large Samsung parts/repair facility on SeriThai rd.

jacko45k Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 (edited) Go to any second hand market and you'll see tables of hundreds of remotes for every TV, CD, DVD etc made in the last 20 years. Not sure where they are in BKK, but there must be dozens of them. There are at least 4 of these markets in Jomtien/Pattaya that I know of. Could you list them please. I can think of the one on the Sukhumvit end of Threpasit, but that is the far end of town for me and only evenings I believe. I am on the North end of town and my Samsung remote just played up this AM.......can't believe it is the 3rd one now! I am not sitting in the Samsung service place for ages again..... Amorn is in Tuk Com, south Pattaya Rd, I would rather avoid it! Edited February 20, 2014 by jacko45k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackflash Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 The best by far is to buy an replacement remote direct from Samsung. It probably worth looking on ebay as well. The next best thing is to buy a universal remote. There are hundreds of these available. They can be programmed for virtually every set ever made. A variation is to buy a learning remote, but you need your original to be able to train it. Alternatively you can get an App for your phone. The drawback with the copies is that the layout of the key board will probably not suit your set very well. They will have many unnecessary and unused keys and perhaps some will be missing.

FalangBaa Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Visit some of your local hotels, ask to see a room. You'd be surprised how many hotel rooms these days have Samsung TVs. Point out the window and shout "Oh my God" to distract the guy showing you the room. The rest is up to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
