Going to Thailand

[EaboniElii]

Hi Everyone
I’m heading over to Thailand in June. 1 week in Bangkok and 1 week in Phuket. I’m just wondering if anyone knows if there are any good places over there that sell legit MAC etc? I know I will have to keep a sharp eye for fakes and I should be able to pick stuff up in the airport but I was hoping there would be some stores that people might recommend I check out

hi,
the store at siam discovery center is great! helpful macines and if you like vivid colors then that's the mac you need to go to. a macine there told me that b/c they are in a rather lively district they'd have more of the bright colors.

avoid the mac at siam paragon unless you know what you want. it seems like the mac girls/boys there are just sellers, not MUartists. most of them know nothing.

the duty free mac at the suvarnapoom airport might be just for those who are leaving bkk. i never noticed one when arriving.
it's a very small one but sure woth it since it's duty-free.

as the aove comment suggested: please, never, ever buy from some "stand" even if it has original looking sign b/c it'll be a fake.

have fun! i so envy you!

Thanks for the replies! I looked around on the MAC site but couldnt find anything

guess I just dont know where to look lol.
I cant wait

Im desperatly hoping that it works out pretty cheap so I can majorly build my collection.
Im traveling with my partner, best friend and her partner, I feel sorry for them...

on the left hand side on mac's homepage there should be a black bar. the last row/line should say "finda store or event". click it and the line will go blank. now you can type "bangkok" in there. another black bar will appear with all the available addresses and even a google map will be there, too!

all macs there are in huuuuge departement stores. there sure will be s.th. fun to do for your partner&friends while you shop!

^^ Unfortunately the Australian mac website still has the old formatting so it doesn't look or operate like the German/American/UK sites. If we want to find stores in other countries we have to use the American site or the mac pro website to search.

ugh, this is so mac, isn't it?
great products but they sure know how to confuse their customers!
