Please any one tell me the costs of 32″ size LCD TVs of various brands like Sony, Panasonic, Samsung, LG etc. in Bangkok so that I can compare its prices in my country. I want to bring one such TV with me on my next visit to Bangkok. Please tell the prices in Thai Baht.
I just bought one in Bangkok about a month ago, I paid 23,500 for a Sony Bravia S 32″. That’s about the going rate for a good 32″ model from all the brands you listed. I’ve seen quite a few 32″ lcd’s for less than 20,000 baht, but most of those have lower contrast ratios and less features. You also can easily spend 30,000 baht or more for the top of the line 32″ tv’s from most manufacturers that will have built-in HDTV tuners, high contrast ratios and more features. A good place to shop for tv’s is the Power Buy store in the Central World Plaza Mall, they carry all the different brands and often have very good promotions. There are also Sony, Panasonic, Samsung, etc stores in Central World, I bought mine from the Sony store. Most electronics are on the expensive side in Thailand because of high tariffs but tv’s are an exception, the prices for tv’s are very good here.
If you mean to buy a color TV in your country and bring it to Thailand make sure the electricity requirements are the same.http://www.kropla.com/electric2.htm
You gonna feel real bad if that big TV you buy in your country gets smashed in transit to Bangkok. Not to mention that the airlines are charging through the nose for extra baggage. Then you have warranties to consider too, what happens if you need warranty work on a TV that you bought in a different country?
I usually find most expensive electronics items to be cheaper in the US compared to Thailand.
Panthip Plaza, Lotus Tesco, Carrefour and Big C might have what you want in their weekly brochures. (Google will get you the websites.)
Good like.
Well I don’t know your country but on a whole lcd t.v.’s in thailand are a little bit less expensive than us or uk but not by much. You can save a bit but sometimes when you get hit for import tax at your destination its not really worth it. Everybody dreams of the its cheaper in thailand dream, which is true but if you want sony, toshiba, any japanese brand name, you are gonna pay
In thailand lcd 32* is a cheap it have many brand sony sumsung lg you can see in power buy , big c ,lotus and many mall.
