Answer 2

properly Panthip Plaza is the IT capital of Bangkok, even with the very undeniable truth that I commonly am somewhat careful of the position. each of the vacationers go there and many shops you could't fairly have self belief.... personally i'd visit Fortune procuring centre in Ratchadapisek street (Praram 9 MRT station). inspect the computer you want and make constructive they load ENGLISH software. they are going to probable provide you 2 costs for the appliance - about three hundred baht for replica software, or a million,500 baht for unique. ignore the time period 'criminal' right here. I continuously opt for the replica software. yet ask them no matter if the replica software can p.c.. up the updates. some replica software would not. Ask them for a ideal VAT receipt. Suvarnabhumi Airport is a commercial airport. no longer actually from the business flights perspective, yet as well in that 'money talks'. you will see one and each of the most intense priced kind call shops are close to the passport administration, and as Thais do not really section with money (they imagine vacationers are wealthy adequate and do not want more desirable), you'll locate the VAT refund workplace a lengthy walk away. only produce the receipt and they ought to refund it. additionally they requested me to educate them the products - so do not p.c.. it in you checked in luggage!

Answer 6

The spec you've built seems pretty good but, as Ange says, shop around a few places and say what you want to do, then compare their responses.

PS You're sure he ain't buying one for himself - could be embarrassing to spend that amount . . .

Wish my gf would buy me one!
