johnson36 Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 Myself and the wife are coming into Thailand in February and when we visit her family I would like to buy a new television for them. The only near by large store is a Tesco Lotus in the nearest town (on our way from udon thani airport to their village). How much can I expect to pay for a 40" led Television ? Here in the Uk the prices of televisions have come down a lot and I can by a 40" for £200ish (10k baht) here in the Uk. We don't need a smart TV as there internet through an sat dish is crap. Just a bog basic Led will be fine. http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/1377529.htm http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/2287649.htm
BB1950 Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 Expect to pay about 20,000 baht. 32" LED TV's are in that price range.
IMHO Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 If you can order online you will likely get a better deal than locking yourself into a single vendor. 10K Baht will get you a non-brand unit, 12K will get you something with a brand: http://www.lazada.co.th/shop-televisions/?display_size=40-50&sort=priceasc&dir=asc http://www.cdiscount.co.th/electronics/tv-video/televisions?dir=asc&display_size=1860&order=price http://www.powerbuy.co.th/th/electronics/tv.html?dir=asc&order=price&screen_size=5%2C10 2

kkerry Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 Keep an eye on http://www.tescolotus.com/en/promotion There is a 32" tv on there for 7,990 at the moment. Prices have come down a lot. Got a Samsung 32" Smart TV for 11K and a Samsung 40" Series 5 for 15k at HomePro a few months ago so Tesco should have something available in that price range. Samsung are good if you also want to play just about anything off a portable hard disk or USB flash drive, otherwise brands like TCL, Haier and Hisense are big time Chinese brands that sell for less.
IMHO Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 Big c have a 40 Samsung 14000 CDiscount (linked above) *is* BigC - you can even choose to pickup your order from your local BigC shop - it's generally cheaper than buying in-store though

Unlikely that link will work for the OP, as it uses geo-IP location to send you to your country site.... @OP you could try it using hola.org and forcing the country to Thailand if that link sends you to the UK site.

CharlieH Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 Udon Thani also has Homepro and Makro both of which sell Samsung Tv 32@ from 7900 baht. 1
IMHO Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Udon Thani also has Homepro and Makro both of which sell Samsung Tv 32@ from 7900 baht. Homepro were competitive on TV prices a couple of years ago, but it's only on rare promotions that they have good prices now: http://www.directtoshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?catalogId=10051&categoryId=11254&langId=-1&pageView=grid&beginIndex=0&top=Y&pageName=CategoryPage&storeId=10001&ddkey=http:SetCurrencyPreference
