Travel Technology - Going to Bankok - Where to buy Mobile / Electronics

So I want to pick up a Nokia E60.

I think HKG / SIN / BKK are some pretty cheap places and I am headed over there.

Can someone tell me what market / roads to go to in BKK to pick up an E60 plus any other good electronics?

Thanks!

Most of the malls have electronic floors. If you're taking the SkyTrain, MBK is probably the easiest one to go to. Pantip Plaza has lots of stuff, but is not right on the SkyTrain route.

No, BKK has never been known for particularly good prices in electronics, other than Australians perhaps, no one has thought SIN to have good electronic prices for a decade and other than no name commodity stuff (i.e. when the cheapest DVD recordeing deck you could get in the US was $400 and there were few "no name's", you could get one for $250 in HKG, then again the Philps deck that went for $400 in the US was $500 in HKG), there are no deals in HKG. You may be able to find some models out earlier in Asia than the US, but that is about it.

No real deals at any of those locations. Best price you'll get will still be 5-10% more than you can get over the internet in the U.S., even if they have it. Bangkok is less likely to have the latest models; Singapore more likely, but more expensive, too.

Also keep in mind there are warranty issues, issues with the transformers for power, instruction manuals, and others.

Hmmm...ok. Well USA I guess it is although I currently see a shortage for the E60 here.

thanks!

Actually in SIN a lot of electronics are sold with worldwide warranties, but th prices still blow.
