gene1944 Posted January 6, 2002 Report Share Posted January 6, 2002 I was a the Mall in Bangkapi today and no one was selling any computer disks or movie vcds at the computer section near Tawana IT City. I was getting po'd that no one was waiting on me when someone told me the police were in the area so the seller took off or was keeping a very very low profile.

SoiledCowboy Posted January 6, 2002 Report Share Posted January 6, 2002 Sorry too for the late reply, yes it would work without the dongle as dongle protection is old hat these days, and yes it did d/l historical data, I think it said on the cover that the server makes no checks or otherwise so you should be ok with that.

Guest Posted January 8, 2002 Report Share Posted January 8, 2002 Hi all. As of 4th Jan everything as normal in Panthip. Just returned home to ice-hell Scandinavia with a s....load of software and music. Walking around Panthip I did not see any cops...and all the stores seemed as eager as last year to make me buy their software and Japanese porn. Maybe I just went there the right day. Oh, and in MBK I purchased a few VCD movies as well, No problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 29, 2002 Report Share Posted January 29, 2002 Just a quick update for any one interested in purchases from Panthip,everything is available as per usual,with some stalls employing runners to collect your ordered cds etc,returning about ten minutes after taking your order.Place was packed solid on Saturday last.

Guest Posted February 11, 2002 Report Share Posted February 11, 2002 Panthip has been definitively closed for pirated software for three days. However, Hollywood IT (down the street towards the expressway past the Indonesian Embassy is open) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phiketpete Posted February 11, 2002 Report Share Posted February 11, 2002 Police are in action in Panthip every day. Do not expect them to be in uniform. They held a press conference of sorts there on friday last to announce that from now on they will not just arrest those selling the cd's but also those renting the shops to the sellers of cd's. Time will tell if this strategy is put into practice and what effect it will have Can you obtian cd's on any given day in Panthip. Well the answer is yes. However Panthip is certainly seeing the brunt of the police action. as mentioned above Hollywood IT down the street from Panthip does also sell software but not in the same quantities as before, MBK, The Mall at Bangkpai and Fortune City on Ratchada are also useful locations to try. I asm sure that board members know of others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 11, 2002 Report Share Posted February 11, 2002 In Sriracha, maybe a 15-20 minute trip north from pattaya, there is a new computer mall similar to Panthip, but probably only 10% the number of shops. Reasonable selection of software for about the same price as Panthip. I bought some stuff there about 2 weeks ago. It's called DukCom (duk rhymes with 'book', not 'duck'), and it's on Sukmivvit. I took the public bus and the driver knew it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 16, 2002 Report Share Posted February 16, 2002 Pantip needs to have a recorded info phone line saying "The software is (is not) available" as a public service I was at the Si Racha place 2/16 and a few intrepid vendors in upper floors were still offering, and at B10 less than Pantip and seemingly more masters and fewer CD-Rs. There was evidence that more places had been going, though, and I can infer the place had been visited a time or two by police. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phiketpete Posted February 17, 2002 Report Share Posted February 17, 2002 Police were active at Fortune City on Ratchada Thursday. Dozens of them descended upon one shop. My understanding is that they were more intereseted in the sex vcd's rather than software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palatkik Posted February 17, 2002 Report Share Posted February 17, 2002 I've seen no mention of Seacon or Seri IT malls. Have they been left alone? Planning as shopping trip soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
