punit Posted July 30, 2006 Posted July 30, 2006 (edited) Hi I will be travelling to Bangkok in late nov. for a week or so and need to buy Onkyo HTS (Home Theater System). I saw a topic already posted for purchasing hi-fi in Bangkok, but just wanted to know if someone can point me to specific Onkyo shops/dealers. I'm planning to buy one of the following models HT-S590S HT-S580S HT-S670S HT-S790S If someone can let me know the current prices of these systems in Bangkok as well, that'll be great ! Also, how much is the price difference of Onkyo(hi-fi systems) available in Bangkok as compared to US Stores like circuitcity and bestbuy ? These models are available for around 280-400 US$ in Circuitcity/Bestbuy stores in US. Thanks, Punit. Edited July 30, 2006 by punit
punit Posted July 30, 2006 Author Posted July 30, 2006 (edited) Since King's b'day will be around the corner, i'm hoping that lots of stores/shops will be offering discounts. Does anyone know of any hi-fi audio shop that offers discounts at that time , every year ? Edited July 30, 2006 by punit
The Skipper Posted July 30, 2006 Posted July 30, 2006 That equipment is available at the Hi Fi Center behind Big-C, Rachadamri Rd. Expect to pay more in Thailand than other places. The deals are in HK and Singapore. Not here.
punit Posted July 31, 2006 Author Posted July 31, 2006 Hey Skipper, Thx for replying. I expect the price to be less than what it is in India , nevertheless. The low-end model HT-S590S is priced at around 28000 Indian Rupees or 23000 (Thai Baht). If someone can confirm the pricing is lower in BKK than this, it'll be wonderful. The price for TVs and DVD players (Sony brand) are definitely double in India as compared to prices in Bangkok . I'm not expecting that much difference in case of HTS , but even 25% difference will do. Any contact numbers/web-sites/email add. of Hi-Fi Audio Equipment dealers will be definitely of great help. I want to strike the deal before i land there so that i can just go & pick up the stuff. I know if i wander around those shops too much, i may end up buying much more stuff than what my pocket permits ! Thanks.
punit Posted August 7, 2006 Author Posted August 7, 2006 Just got it enquired from official Onkyo distributor in Bangkok : Central Trading Co. Ltd Address Sirinrat Building 9-11th Floor, 3388/26-27 Rama 4 Rd, Klong-toey, Bangkok, 10110, Thailand Phone +66-2-3675511-5 Fax +66-2-3675445-6 The cost of HT-S590S is 16990 Baht(inclusive of all taxes). I'm assuming that i'll get 7% VAT refund on producing my passport while immigrating back from Thailand. Does anyone know any place where it gets cheaper than this ?
