Want to buy a new graphic card but the lowest price I can find for a Quadro 4000 in Thailand is 42,800 baht which equates to $1,363!!
If I buy on Amazon I can get it at $729 not including shipping but don't think that will be much.
Question is how much import Tax will have to pay? is it worth it?

If anyone has any experience or advice importing computer hardware I would really appreciate it.

Thanks

It's a difficult decision but has to be made by someone, so I am just wondering what the TV Expat community view is.
Please take a look at the map below and together with news, personal experience, information maybe from friends family of those effected please try to make a decision.

This is a private poll and nobody knows what you vote
I wish very good luck to everyone who is badly effected by the floods as many of my own friends and family are and currently out of work.

I am interested to know more about Buddhism.
Is there a such a thing as a Buddist Bible or are any scriptures available online or something?

Found this article on BBC website so thought i would share.


Foreign investors flock to Thailand

The world economy is stuttering to recover across the west, but Asia is booming and keeping global growth going.     China is the engine, but South East Asian nations are also  flourishing, and even places like Thailand, fresh from a political  crisis, are growing in double-digit figures.

     Companies are coming from the world's big economies to tap  new markets and investors are pouring money in to a place where they  will get good returns.

     Thailand has a mixed image, from the modern skyscrapers  towering above the chaos of backstreet Bangkok, to the beaches, islands  and seedy bars where tourists flock, to the rural rice paddies in its  agricultural heartland.

     But what is Thailand's main money maker? Tourism doesn't even come close and neither does rice.

     Its biggest export is computer hard disk drives - manufacturing is the industry which is driving this growth.
