A sensationalist and apocalyptic article which highlights the worst case scenario.

The flip side of the coin is if the global economy picks up and grows and Thailand is able to take a lead role on the development of the ASEAN economic community, increased tax revenue will be collected by the government to pay for the borrowing and development of new infrastructure.

Yes, there will come a time when the global economy picks up again.... But not anytime soon!

Central in Kad Suan Kaew has Onkyo and Yamaha receivers, but maybe not the very high end...

For me they accepted my 10$ my partner behind me they refused, only Thai money, when they had just accepted mine. Think it depends on who you get on the day!!!!

Went there last weekend and had no problem when I offered a crisp 10 USD bill. Never had any problems in the past either.

In Topic: Lenses Cheaper In Japan Or Hong Kong?

Especially the canon lens is very expensive in Japan. I've seen prices in the range from 7500 to 8900 baht here..... and I haven't even looked at shops in Bangkok yet.

Ok, back from my little camera stuff jaunt and here are the results.

Canon EFS 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS Lens - I hit two shops, Kojima and Big Camera.  The price - JPY 37,800 or about 15.3k baht.


Nissin Di466 Flash for Canon - JPY 16,800 or about 6.8k baht.


I went online with amazon.co.jp and the lens came in at JPY 33,780 or about 13.7k and the flash at JPY 16,000 or about 6.5k baht.  I believe that the amazon prices may be the lowest available in Japan.

Looks like the lens price is a whole lot higher in Tokyo than HK.  Silly me, I thought they would be closer.  Oh well, enjoy wherever you purchase and take some great pictures.

Thank you for all the replies. Actually it seems that I can get those items cheaper in Thailand!! Quite a surprise.....
