January 13, 201511 yr The first time I visited CM about 11 years ago, my wife's cousin took me to a 'mall' that sold all sorts of computer software at a very reasonable price. I have visited Tuk.com in Pattaya a few times, but don't really want to make the trip there from Chiang Rai and was wondering if it is possible to buy iMac software in CM?
January 13, 201511 yr Confusing as Tuk.com is a music download website. So I guess the Pattaya version is simply a name rip-off. Computer centre Kad Suan Kaew but Panthip more likely.

January 13, 201511 yr Author And there's an Apple Store or two I think. Thanks for that, but I wasn't looking to pay full price for software

Everyone in Pattaya knows Tuk.com, it is a huge discount IT centre over 5 floors, can get anything IT/phone related there – all at knock-off prices

I've been looking just the other day for a Note 3, and from the whole phone floor there was exactly 1 ( one - uno ) shop that had a single Note 3 in stock in white color, and all the 399 other shops you went to would have to run to that particular shop to get that same phone. You will understand that I got offered 25 different prices for that same phone Forgot to add, first thing they asked when inquired for a Samsung Note was, you want copy or original.
January 13, 201511 yr Confusing as Tuk.com is a music download website. So I guess the Pattaya version is simply a name rip-off. No. Tuk Com is an English spelling of 'Tuek Com', where 'tuek' is just the Thai word for 'building' and 'Com' is short for Computer. So, computer building. Writing it as Tuk.com is just somethign the OP did. In Thai: For reference: https://www.facebook.com/TukcomNews Now we know; another Farang Assumption replaced by knowledge.

Probably why they use TukCom.com and not the Thai version to forward to their Facebook profile - just to avoid confusion. (-:

The closure must be fairly recent ; when I was there a couple of weeks ago it was pretty busy. So Amorn has closed as well?? I always thought they had more customers actually buying stuff in Icon than you see in Promenada!. Maybe yet another condo going up there???
