Cheap Electronics in Bangkok
15 July, 08
I was in Bangkok last week on holiday, hence the brief hiatus. It was the craziest, most consumeristic holiday I’ve ever had; a whole week spent in shopping malls, in Bangkok, that crazy haven of cheap sex and electronics (I only sampled the electronics, though). And this was not my first time in the city either, so I have a pretty good idea of the place. Here’s my condensed shopping guide (of interest to nerds only):
There are two malls to visit if you’re into technology.
The first is called Mah Boon Krong (MBK for short). This is a massive edifice to the Gods of capitalism; you can buy anything here, from clothes to books to lampshades to mobile phones to laptops, graphics cards, pirated software, music, movies and everything else in between. This mall is a jungle, literally, and the food court is the best in Bangkok, too.
The second mall is, where technology is concerned, even more amazing. This one is called Pantip Plaza. While it is not as big as MBK, its focus is only on electronics and there are a hundred places to buy the same graphics card, or case, or cooling fan, or RAM module, and the variety is amazing, too. Unfortunately, this was wasted on me as all I bought was a 4 GB Kingston USB stick, for no more than 10 USD. And that wasn’t the cheapest one around, either.
If you’re going to Bangkok, don’t miss out on MBK and Pantip Plaza.

Hello,
I’m Susan, of the TechnoSnack’s team and I wish to inform you that we are opening a new blog aggregator about Computers & Internet news.
We put it on-line some hours ago and the link is: http://www.technosnack.com.
The main objective of this project is creation of a “virtual dashboard” of posts coming from many specialized blog and information about Computers & Internet world, with news about Linux, Windows, Mac, Open sources, Security, Graphics, Symbian and more on…
The key feature is that news come directly from blogosphere. We wish to show a preview of posts, with a link “Read more…” to signed blogs. If users are interested in news, they are redirected to your blog and can read entire post directly from your blog!
So, the different signed blogs can increase their visibility and reach more visitors, all over the world!
We think that in a little of time it can send more visitors to re gistered blogs, contributing to diffusion of know-how about Computer and Technology world.
I visited your blog and I think it has very interesting and useful posts!
