Guest Posted November 16, 2001 Report Share Posted November 16, 2001 I've read some postings recently that the software companies are reducing the price of their software in Thailand to 'persuade' them to buy the legit copies. Any idea which manufacturers, what the legit prices are in Thailand and where from? Thnaks for info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 16, 2001 Report Share Posted November 16, 2001 I was also curious about software. I heard that they will no longer sell you pirated software on the spot, that you now had to have it sent to you... is this accurate. Also, I know they sell microsoft and adobe stuff, but do they sell mindless games as well. One more thing, is the software they sell in English?

This happens every few months, they ship the stuff to you address with EMS, it has to be signed for. Software is available in most language versions, the majority of it is in English and yes the do sell games. Mindless software???????????????

The thing to do is always buy from one vendor. Once they know you they'll sell to you during these clampdowns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 17, 2001 Report Share Posted November 17, 2001 One more question: If they do have a clamp down during my SHORT visit to Bangkok, is it safe to have them send it to my home country (Taiwan), or should I give them the address of the place that I will be for a week in Ko Samui? Can they be trusted? Will the software always work? Should I make them show me the home directory in the store? Am I thinking about this entirely too much? Or, alternatively, if the police do clamp down on Panthip Plaza, will there be other places that are a bit more open? Are there other places, in general, that will sell PC games? Thank you for your informative and helpful answers. P.S. Mindless software : Not all games are mindless, but it is such a waste of my time.... but I can't help it.... I am 28 and still addicted to video games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phiketpete Posted November 18, 2001 Report Share Posted November 18, 2001 Must admit that i have never bought the legit stuff here in Thailand so I can not help with prices. No doubt somone else can. However Panthip Plaza is also home to many stores selling the legit . Check them out.There are 5/6 floors to choose from Give me an idea of what you are looking for and next time i am down there i will check it out for you if you like [ November 18, 2001: Message edited by: phiketpete ] [ November 18, 2001: Message edited by: phiketpete ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
