Electrical Component Shop

[rocky]

I am looking for two things

1) a shop or shops that sell electrical components like transistors and capacitors etc

2) Someone who can build to a schematic drawing like this one (nothing difficult.)

If the engineer is thai great, but a westerner would be better just to explain how it works.

(Before a mod moves this, I posted this question here as I hope to find the answers in the Pattaya area).

Looking forward to your replys.

Your 1st requirement: The Amorn Centre in the basement of the Tukcom building on Pattaya South Road carries quite a variety of stuff, ranging from washing machine motors to individual electronic components.

Your 2nd requirement: Can't help directly but Amorn have service engineers on the premises so it might be productive just to ask.

Hope this is of some help to you.

Several shops specialised in the components, the best stocked is the one on Theprasit road, about a kilometer past the go-kart track on the left side when going towards Sukhumvit. Recognizable by the big speakers outside the shop...

Lots of the Aksorn technical school students buy their parts for their school projects in that shop....

Another one is located in Soi day-night. Go into the soi with the day-night hotel and the shop is on the first corner on the left side...

To build the thing, you can try the Pattaya orphanage, they have an electronics school for the disabled. I guess they'll happily do it for you and accept a donation for their trouble...

Yes, this is the best shop anywhere....amazing in its stock alone.

Thank you for all the advice guys, two of the three shops for these types of components are fantastic, the other at Tutcom is very good but isn’t as suitable for all of the components and boards etc. However it is good to know where they all are. (And the Tutcom shop has a lot of products that the other two do not). Horses for courses.

I haven’t contacted the school to help with the making of the board; I feel a little funny about approaching a school to ask for their students to make a product for me. The child labour adverts in the UK really worked, on me anyway.

Any other suggestions upon where I could get it made.

Thank you once again

The kids would get a kick out of a "paid" commision job, it's not like you are giving a tray of chewing gum to a kid to sell in the bars. If you really don't want to develop the kids commercial skills there are mant TV repair type shops around Pattaya that know which end of a soldering iron to hold without getting burnt, and some that don't.

There was (few years since I was closely tied to the bar) a TV repair bussiness being run out back of a beer bar on Second Road between Sois 7-8, it's the better looking red place with loads of decorations, fake flowers etc. Just to the left of the Chinese restaraunt.
