lomatopo Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 1.) Pretty much anywhere, maybe best to go to a Samsung shop in a major mall? 2.) SGS4/16 GB: 21,900 ; Tab 2/10.1/3G/16 GB: 12,900 prices are MSRP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOOMSTIK22 Posted May 24, 2013 Author Share Posted May 24, 2013 IS MBK A SAFE PLACE TO BUY FROM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lomatopo Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 There are Samsung, Jaymart and TGfone shops in MBK. All are 'safe'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petedk Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 You can buy at any Central Department store (Power Buy) or at Fortune Tower, Ratchada. Nearly all places offer these models at the same price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beano2274 Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 HI PETEDK I WILL PROBABLY BE ONLY AT A SHOPPING MALL AND I KNOW ONLY THE MBK IS THERE ANOTHER NALL NEAR THAT? May I suggest taking the caps lock off, when you type using caps lock signifies you are shouting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lomatopo Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Rather than listing every shipping mall in the Bangkok metropolitan area, maybe you could tell us where you'll be, or maybe you could ask someone where the nearest shopping mall is, once you arrive? Samsung, Jaymart, TGfone all have shops in pretty much every mall: MBK, Central World, Siam Paragon, Terminal 21, Central Rama 9.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satcommlee Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Watch the warranty issues! I bought the S3 in a high end shop in a shopping mall and got tucked up, it was a grey import and when it went faulty the Thai Samsung service center turned me away, they said it was from Spain but did quote 8-9K for repair. The same may apply if you buy in Thailand and take it home with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lomatopo Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 (edited) If you purchase a Samsung phone or tablet here at a Samsung shop, Jaymart or TGfone, these will be original equipment and the warranty/service/repair agent will be Samsung/Thailand. If you have any concerns then be sure to review the enclosed warranty card(s) before finalizing a purchase. Grey market phones, which either fell off the truck (or boat, at Khlongtoei), or were factory seconds (manufactured in Vietnam), or otherwise ended up in Thailand, will likely not have warranties associated with Samsung/Thailand. The OP should be aware that he will likely face issues if seeking warranty service/repair/replacement in countries other than Thailand. The end-cap/SKU label should indicate the model number, note that it ends in "THL". Edited May 26, 2013 by lomatopo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also note that any software upgrades may take longer as it is Asian spec AND there may not be any warranty in your home country. I believe Samsung no longer do world warranty. But I may be wrong.

lomatopo Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Also note that any software upgrades may take longer as it is Asian spec Some good news though, the SGS4 sold here comes with Android 4.2.2 so current, at least until June10; and as Google will be selling an SGS4/Nexus - as of June 26 - it will be quite easy to get 4.3 and 5.0/KLP Nexus ROMs for a stock SGS4 on day 1.

I'm no newbie to Thailand, have lived here for 8 years but still got tucked up! Edited May 26, 2013 by Satcommlee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lomatopo Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 the samsung store at MBK is a service store- do they also sell there or is it only for service? I am pretty sure there is a Samsung mobile phone retail sales shop in MBK, there definitely are Jaymart and TGFone, and probably half a dozen other national, reputable retailers in MBK. Not sure what the fascination is with MBK exactly, but there are definitely Samsung mobile phone retail sales shops in Malls which are either very close to MBK (SIam Paragon, Digital Gateway), or on skytrain (BTS) and subway (MRT) lines: Central World, Terminal 21, Central Rama 9/Fortune Town IT Mall. You seem intent on making this far more challenging that it really has to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
