Pantip Plaza |
Pantip Plaza is probably the most well known of the IT Malls in Bangkok. Situated at Pratunam, round the corner from Central World Plaza, Pantip Plaza is a mass of shops selling all manner of IT hardware, DVDs, Computers, Laptops, cameras, mobile phones and books. Pantip Plaza can get very busy and can also be a pain to walk around with rude young men standing about trying to sell you "sexy DVDs". You can probably find what you are after here, but not without a jostle. Pantip is an experience and a must visit if you are a computer buff but if you hate crowds, try the others. Pantip is not very close to any public transportaion except for taxis. Traffic in that area can be a nightmare especially at weekends. More monks here than any temple we've ever been too.

Fortune Town |
Fortune Town in Bangkok or Fortune Tower is a smaller version of Pantip Plaza but rather than being completely dedicated to IT equipment, Fortune Town's IT section is spread across the top two floors. The type of shops are similar to that of Pantip Plaza but it quieter and there are no young men trying to sell you sex movies. Less choice, fewer options but a quieter shopping experience and with the noticable abscence of Monks. Easy to get to by the Bangkok Underground System ( MRT ).Just get off at Rama 9. |
