Hi. My apologies if there is a similar post( I could not find one). I live in Patts but would like to do some computer shopping in BKK. Can anyone suggest a good store close to the Sukhumvit train line. Thanks

Change stations at Asoke BTS and get the MRT train two stops to Rama IX - from there walk into Fortune mall, lots of stuff in there.

Otherwise a 10 minute walk from Ratchthewi station on BTS ends you up Pantip Plaza.

^ I concur.

Thanks. Much appreciated !!

But for smartphones, of course you visit neither of these two places. Go to Siam then transfer and get to National Stadium to walk into MBK.

Like Digitalbanana, I'd go with Fortune Tower at MRT Rama 9, even for smart phones. Better laid out than either Pantip or MBK and not nearly as tight to walk around as MBK, which is often elbow to elbow around the phone area.

Actually, a lot of phone shops on the first and second levels of Fortune with a full range of selection and competitive prices, also tablets.

Computers and laptops on 3 and 4.

There is also an attached Tesco/Lotus that has an array of mobile phones at decent prices.

I have a difficult time trusting the shops at MBK, especially for higher end devices.

ON Sukhumvit itself, the 4th floor of Central World has several large phone shops and a Power Buy which often has very good prices.

Siam Paragon has the Power Mall within the Emporium that also has good promotions and a huge selection.

Too much fake and grey market stuff at MBK.
