I'm just wondering if any of you guys can recommend a cheap desktop or laptop. It is for my six year old son for Christmas. The main requirement is that it can play Minecraft . I really don't want to spend any more than 15,000 THB - it just needs to be something for him to mess around on.. Any suggestions?

There are plenty of tablets available for under 4,000 baht. My 7 year old son uses one to play minecraft and his friends in the neighborhood all have inexpensive tablets to play minecraft on also. My son has about 15+ plus other games he has downloaded for free on the google play store on his tablet. We bought his at the lower level of Big C here in Phuket which is a level dedicated to IT merchandise and repair. Tablet prices get higher as the battery quality gets better i.e. longer battery life before recharging equals higher price.

Thanks Arby, he already has an iPad with Minecraft on there. He wants a computer so he can play the full game - it has a lot more going on than the tablet version. I have Minecraft on my work desktop. but I don't really want him playing it on there.
