yarpy Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 I need to buy a USB wifi dongle one either with an external aerial socket or one that can be opened up and an external aerial attached. Obviously as this is a bit specialised I will need to explain what I want in English. Can anyone recommend a good computer guy/shop who will understand what I want?

Can anyone recommend a good computer guy/shop who will understand what I want? DCO. Look for the guy in the wheel chair - speaks very good English, is very knowledgable, able and accommodating. I'm sure he will be able to help you. Pattaya Klang. I Suggest you park in Carrefour then coming OUT of Carrefour into the main road, turn left towards Sukhumvit, go past a 7-11 and the next row of shops is set back from the road a little. The corner shop is DCO. The guy is currently building me a top of the range desk top at an amazingly cheap price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something went wrong with the lap top I guess? Sure did. The mother board is well and truly mothered. 3 years old - not worth spending any more money on it. The folks at Wattana couldn't tell me if the hard drive was damaged, so I took it to Tuk com, where they all told me the only place that could look at the hard disc was Panthip in BKK. I went to DCO, and the guy had the hard disc out in 2 minutes and connected externally - all OK. He even downloaded some urgent stuff for me onto cd. I reckon he's building me a new m/c for cheaper than you can get the parts at Tuk Com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarpy Posted April 25, 2006 Author Share Posted April 25, 2006 This is why I said GOOD. Most don't know one end of a computer from another. Even if they speak English they go in to the 'no speaka de English' routine rather than lose face by admitting they haven't got a clue. Will give DCO a go.

Chopper Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 I had reason to use DCO yesterday as I needed a new Graphics Card. I thought the service was excellent. They do not carry a lot of stock like Wattana or Tukcom but value for money combined with prompt service gets my vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucifer Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 If you've got access to ebay, get it from there. Cheapest are from Hong Kong and China. You won't get it cheaper in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Chopper, and I also think you will find they can get you virtually anything at 24 hours notice, at a much cheaper price than either Wattana or Tuk Com. They bring in orders for BKK almost every day. I ordered my new top of the range desk top on a Sunday, and virtually everything had to be ordered from BKK and built on site, and it was ready for collection on Tuesday. Can't beat that. As you say the personal service (Khun Narong) is excellent. No I don't have shares in it - I just like the guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have very little knowledge of computers and Narong has always helped me out. He was one of Father Ray's kids in the orphanage. There is also a computer club meets there on Thursdays at 5PM, I havnt been there for a long time so check at the shop and see if its still running.

There's a good news story if ever there was one. BTW, Khun Narong is a paraplegic, but the way he wizzes round that shop and fixes your stuff you'd never know it. He also has a wife and kids, drives, and makes house calls after 8 pm when he finishes his very long days at work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
