Old Hippie Posted October 2 Report Share Posted October 2 Looking to buy a Samsung tablet for my niece. Any ideas where might be the best place (terms of price, selection etc) preferably in BKK. Fortune? MBK? Future Park? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bust Posted October 2 Report Share Posted October 2 I am always apprehensive about buying anything for MBK etc as the percentage of copies well packaged is hard to identify not knowing what to look for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekong Posted October 2 Report Share Posted October 2 Personally I wouldn’t fuck about with MBK / Fortune / Future Park etc and just head to the nearest Power Buy, reasonable prices, genuine items and a warranty which is worth the paper it is written on. Over the years I have purchased TV’s, Printers, Air Conditioning Unit etc from them Power Buy is part of the Central Group so their outlets are located in Central Stores Samsung at Power Buy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mekong Posted October 2 Report Share Posted October 2 It’s like in the states, where would your 2.2 kids, a dog called Rover, white picket fence nuclear family make purchases, they’d just head to Best Buy (is it still open?) or it’s equivalent MBK / Fortune etc were fun in the past but there comes a time in your life when you just can’t be arsed with the hassle, am I getting old, maybe, but I like the simple things now. The Power Buy where we live is less than 1KM from home, when we had to replace the TV a couple of months back just went online and ordered it and it was delivered and installed within three hours all for the list price. Can’t beat that. I am beginning to start to doing just like my Dad did 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Hippie Posted October 3 Author Report Share Posted October 3 Yes, Best Buy still exists in the USA, but would not be my first pick for an electronics store. I know places to buy, but I would prefer a reference or word of mouth…just as Best Buy is a place to buy, I know better better places to buy with better service and maybe better prices. So were you to be in the USA and in need of something, you *could* go to Best Buy or you could ask me or someone else and hopefully be better off.

We considered buying it in the USA at Costco, but the warranty would not cover it in Thailand is something went wrong… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bust Posted October 4 Report Share Posted October 4 The Samsung Tablet I believe has a great tutorial on how to take amazing photos. When your niece gets hers, perhaps she may be able spend some time with you to assist you in your quest for taking great pics as opposed to mediocre ones 📷 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt it, but worth a shot…. As for myself, I am “…an award winning professional photo journalist…” Hate all you want… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
