After some late breakfast we spent the afternoon by the pool. As we will stick close to each other the next 3 months, we decided to split up and everyone’s doing his/her’s task.
Shadi went shopping, what else. As the Terminal21 mall is closest to us, she went there. But no “deals” at all as she returned empty handed. Taking care on our budget, thanks beloved wifey 😉
I needed to buy some AUX-cable for the car. For this i went to Pantip Pratunam plaza, the biggest “IT-Mall” in Bangkok. But times changed…
I was impressed by Pantip Pratunam the first time in 2005. Every gadget an IT-nerd could think of. Servers, graphic cards, harddisks, hardware components, cables, battery-packs, pirate copys of latest movie DVD and software all over on 5 floors. The most exotic gadget i’ve seen there was an 32x DVD copy-machine, guess what they needed this for ?
But nowadays the whole mall has a vacancy-rate of ~80% . Seems the PC-market is dead and streaming has succeeded, no one needs piracy-DVDs anymore.
There’s currently running “The Lord of the Rings” in thai TV, such a coincidence. Tomorrow we’re trying to catch the plane to middle-earth …
