June 16, 201411 yr No recent experience, but MBK (near National Stadium BTS) is home to a number of outlets dealing in used kit, probably your best starting point. You could of course try a ThaiVisa Classified AD (link at the top of the page). "I don't want to know why you can't. I want to know how you can!"
June 16, 201411 yr Author Thanks Crossy. Any chance of transfering this post to the photography section? Maybe they might know a few shops. Ta
June 16, 201411 yr Yeah one stands out of the crowd in MBK, I will post tomorrow, I forget their name. This is for leans and bodies of DLSR's etc.
June 17, 201411 yr Hi, I can't find their card in my camera gear, but I am pretty sure it is http://www.fotofile.net/?lang=en on the first floor (ground floor maybe- street level anyway). PM sent by the way. Also, there is a camera section in the classifides
June 17, 201411 yr MBK, bottom floor near McDonald's is all I can remember. Also is on the street side and not an interior shop. Had several used cameras for sale in the shop window(mall side). Very busy shop every time I walked by.
June 19, 201510 yr Just back from BKK and found that Mega Plaza in Chinatown is the hot hub of action in the used camera area... If you go up to the forth floor you'll find quite a few vendor shops with lots of vintage (and newer) used gear. Based on my experience (living in the US) I did not find the prices to be any bargain. In fact I'd call them down right high. Good news is if you're coming from somewhere that has low prices on used gear than you can sell here and make a few bucks. I ran into a gent from Italy who told me he doubled his money on a few lenses. I'll post a few pictures later. across the road there's another building with a few shops in it as well (on the map shown it's at the spot called Phirom Plaza but it's not called that any longer) and I understand that there's a section of street just around the corner that is lined with vendor shops (sort of like a full time street market) and there are supposed to be several camera stalls there too... it was Monday when I was there and found many of the shops closed.
June 20, 201510 yr Fotofile ground floor MBK. Just shopped there two days ago. They are on the third floor of MBK (I think they moved to the third recently?).
