Scanning in Bangkok
 

I am looking for a place in Bangkok that can, as cheaply as possible, scan about 700+ pages for me and save them as electronic files. If anyone has any ideas about where I can get this done it would be greatly appreciated.

TIA.

Mbk. Take the sky train to national stadium station.

Thanks for the suggestion. Just so I know before I walk in, do you have any idea of what I should be expecting to pay per page or per, say, 100 pages?

i'm not sure about scanning. I know they do it there, but I do alot of my photocopying there. Costs about 0.5 baht a page for photocopying. I'm sure they can give you a good deal for scanning too.

You need one of those big copy machines that have scan capabilities and can do mass amounts automatically.

no need to have it done automatically. Thai labor is so cheap that they can do it manually for you.

GPS123, that is why living in Bangkok is so great :p

I found Thai labour not that cheap because they are so terribly uneffective

Yes, you're absolutely right about that. For some tasks, cheap but low-productive or low-quality labor may end up being more expensive than high-cost high-quality labor. If you can supervise the work, many times you can get what you want, but unsupervised work often ends up not being as much of a bargain as you anticipated.

You know its funny. A while ago I heard former Thai prime Minister Mr. Thaksin saying that "thai labour is not as cheap as China, but we have "skilled" labout." And to some extent, I do agree with him. But again, youre right. The only way that cheap labour can be put to good use is if they are under the watchful eye of someone who knows what they're doing.
