how i can bye a mobile phone in Bangkok ?And I want sites to check prices
There are many phone shops on the third floor of Central Pinklao Department store .
You can buy mobile phones everywhere in Thailand as calling is Thai girls addiction number one. Best deals are usally in the small phoneshops you find in the basement or topfloor of any shoppingmall, you can demand a discount, the beter shops they discount, or just look for another one. Usually there are 10s of small phoneshops in row. I warn you don't buy a second hand, they usually have hidden trouble or al least they just changed the battery for a fake one. Nokia is ofcourse the best buy, especially for messaging. If you call international check for the best prefix like 001, 008, 009 to call with a reduced price. Prepaid cards you buy everywhere really. 7-Eleven for example. 12Call and DTAC are the only good providers with national coverage. If you buy a simple GPRS phone like the Nokia 3310 (3.000 bath) you can check your emails as well, (best with yahoo and Gmail) and chat with all your MSN, Yahoo, Gmail contacts if you download eBuddy. Internet cost you around 60 bath for 6 hours, or 1000 bath full time for a month, you need to register GPRS credits at a phoneshop, best are the providers shops, AIS (12call) or DTAC, also in every shoppingmall. PS you can also use your non-Thai phone here by just changing the SIM card.
Try one of the large retailers like Jaymart, Powerbuy and Carrefour or go to Central World Plaza where most of the major mobile phone manufacturer's have factory stores. Motorola, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, Nokia, LG, etc. have stores there, and often have better prices without all the haggling you need to do with the small vendors. There's also a large Jaymart and Powerbuy store at Central World and they often have very good sales on certain models and a great selection of all the latest phones from just about every company that makes phones. You'll also be able to get VAT refund if you're a tourist from the stores there that aren't often offered from the small vendors. You can check out the prices at Jaymart which is the largest retailer and a very reputable company in Thailand here: jaymart .th/product_and_ser
