bangkok thailand

So, you've arrived to Bangkok. You know that photography goods and computers should be relatively cheap here, especially bearing in mind the VAT refund scheme.

Asking around in a hotel reception and during the dinner, reveals that the best place to buy a laptop you've been dreaming about, is Pantip Plaza. The hovering image of a laptop in your mind obscures the wry smiles of your newly met friends at the dinner table.

During the next morning, you understand the reason.

It. Is. Huge. And has nearly everything. As wikipedia says, "There are hundreds of small shops specializing in computer hardware, software and accessories, including parts, repair, modifications, networking, second hand, laptops, Macintosh and peripherals".

Could easily spend a day or two here, trying to compare prices and offerings. At least it's good that there's not so much of photography goods, otherwise there would be no escape.

What concerns hardware, there are a lot of shops dealing with used parts, which isn't what you are looking for. The first shock wears out, and now you feel much more energetic and proficient in navigating the narrow passages between stands.

Bangkok – the city of angels – bubbles with culture and life. Like most big cities the Thai capital is densely populated and highly congested. This congestion increases the intensity of the hot, humid weather in the city. Temperatures vary according to the time of year and that is why the busiest period for tourists is during the cool months (December to February) and is undoubtedly the best time to visit. There are calm breezes that tend to bring people out of their air-conditioned homes and hotels to enjoy a meal at an outdoor café or bar, no winter gear required. A light jacket is only needed occasionally

After nearly two decades of planning and construction, the highly congested London Heathrow Airport was finally on the verge of opening its much anticipated Terminal 5 (T5). With its completion, Heathrow would be capable of providing important new capacity for its tenant airlines and increase its overall revenue while improving its public image and status. On March 27th, 2008, T5 would become the new home for British Airways International (BA), currently occupying the largest amount of space at Heathrow compared to other airlines. As the profitable summer season approached, both British Airport Authorities (BAA) and BA would be hoping for a windfall of revenue as a result of this expansion.
