The
Pantip Plaza is almost ten years old
and for those in search for anything even

goods to buy ranging from computers to
TV’s, cameras, music systems,
pirated CD's, DVD's, Assecories
and other computer peripherals.
The latest gadgets and gizmos are on for sale,
and amazingly at a very low price,
usually cheaper than anywhere else. Pantip Plaza
gives the shopping experience a whole
new approach which is
why it is also called the computer city of Bangkok.
This Mall features many small stores
(where bargaining is allowed) to bigger stores which
sell branded IT items such as Canon, Sony etc. The
products from the "bigger" stores are all of original
quality and authentic.

The Pantip Plaza is by far the best
place to go if you are in need of buying electronical
goods. No matter if it's a new
Monitor for your computer or just some Mini DV tapes for
your Camcorder, at Pantip you can find it all at a
better price.
Should you ever get hungry while
strolling at Pantip, a Food court on the 1st Floor is
always ready to serve you. Eventhough this Mall sells a
lot of great stuff for your computer, it lacks a
bit of eating possibilities. Besides the food court and
the KFC there isn't much to choose from.
Pantip Plaza is renowned for selling licensed and legal
software but there are many stores
that sell
pirated versions. While buying
them is not really legal, everyone in Thailand does so
due to the unafordable retail prices. Once purchasing a
Software, the vendor will go fetch it from a secret
hiding place.
While walking through the Mall you will notice how some
sellers keep offering XXX Movies by showing you a
catalogue. Eventhough these practises are very
intimidating don't let it spoil the fun while shopping
at Pantip Plaza.
