muffy653 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 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?

Thailand Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave2 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 re Icon icon square has closed and is empty ! most of the shops seem to have moved to the ground floor of the old amorn repair department which is down the soi to the left of the old icon building see green arrow dave2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 You must know other Tuk coms, because all the Tuk coms I have been ( Pattaya - Sriracha and Chonburi) are poor replica of an IT center where you can buy Knock off brands, but nothing decent, apart from at JIB store. 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.

WinnieTheKhwai Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 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.

Probably why they use TukCom.com and not the Thai version to forward to their Facebook profile - just to avoid confusion. (-: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beau thai Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 re Icon icon square has closed and is empty ! most of the shops seem to have moved to the ground floor of the old amorn repair department which is down the soi to the left of the old icon building see green arrow dave2 Many thanks for the info Dave-saved me a trip across town. 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???
