retoohs Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Anyone know where the best place is to get A nokia mobile phone in BKK? They don't seem to want to move on price in most the places I've approached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cgphuket Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 If 500 baht is too much, try a string and two cans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retoohs Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share Posted February 2, 2015 , ok I will rephrase. I am after a Nokia Lumia 930, anyone know where I am likely to get best price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaiberius Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 To be honest I'd never buy anything in Thailand where a brand name and the technology behind it is required due to the number of copies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dddave Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Lazada has several starting at B14,200. The big mall chain sellers such as JAYMART, TG PHONE & IT CITY often have Nokias' on promotion. They seem to still have a inventory of Nokia branded phones and haven't started selling the Microsoft branded stuff yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkerry Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 If you try different shops in a mall selling phones or computers they all know what the competition is selling and for what price, so you might go to ten different shops and the price can be the same unless it's an end of line clearance model. You can sometimes negotiate a small discount, depending on how much time you have on your hands but you will have more luck in getting something thrown in for free like an accessory. While you can get a big discount on something like a shirt or a pair of shoes, the same doesn't usually apply to electrical items. That said, look at the big retailers including Big C and Tesco as they might have a promotion, just don't expect 30/40/50 % off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draftvader Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Moved to Technical forum to give you a broader view as there are many excellent online options now in Thailand as mentioned above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retoohs Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share Posted February 2, 2015 Cheers guys. I guess I will need to shop around and do a little leg work. Around 14000 sounds about right to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dddave Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 I like Lazada and order from them often but take note that if any device you buy from them is marked "Imported" and sold by a 3rd party seller, your only warranty is the 15 day return option. Manufacturers warranties are often not valid. So far I've been lucky and it hasn't been an issue but complex devices can be expensive to repair.

retoohs Posted March 17, 2015 Author Share Posted March 17, 2015 Thanks. Funny thing is I found one in Nee Zealand before I returned to Thailand for about 14000b with international warranty. When it was delivered it was all in Thai language. Presume it was grey market but as I'd never mentioned Thailand to the seller was amused. BTW the Nokia 930 is fantastic once I got my head around the OS and will not be going back to iPhone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
