Thanks everyone for the great suggestions.

Got some fun shopping-time ahead of me.

I think, whether we know it or not, that many of us are the victims of our fathers' and uncles' ignorance in that we were told by our elders (and betters?) who returned home from their army trips abroad and enthused about the skills of the foreign tailors they'd had hand-made suits from (unheard of for the average person). We find it hard to think beyond that (how can we disagree) so tales of the enchanted East and it's magically cheap tailors endure.

Thanks.

Where is IT Mall? Is it near Pantip Plaza?

Thanks for all the suggestions.

We're not entering the best of shopping periods, with the flooding and all that.

What I'm after is components, not completed items. I want the parts that make the torch as opposed to the torch itself, for instance.

My most pressing project is a home-made LED sign - such as we see pretty much everywhere, these days - either providing information or advertising a manufacturer's products.

So I'm seeking individual LED bulbs in various colours and intensities, "breadboard" for testing a proptotype, stripboard for creating a finished prototype, switches, crocodile-clips, flash-controllers etc. Once done, I'd like to see if anyone can mass produce the item at reasonable cost, so I can book my slot on The Dragon's Den .

Some items I won't even know that I want, until I see, them - I'd imagine.

Is there a particular area or street in Bangkok from which electrical suppliers and specialists trade, does anyone know?

Sincere apologies, my good man.

Please forgive my lack of manners.
