recommendations on astro shops in bangkok

Post by eboo »

Hi all,

Not sure where to post this.

I'm going to Bangkok really soon, and am hoping to visit some Astronomy shops to have a look.

Any recommendations?

Also, any good deals there?

Hi:

A meade dealer (TS shop) was recently relocated from a department store to a remote place near Suvarnabhumi Airport.

I recommend darasartcenter.com
http://www.darasartcenter.com/
It is an official Orion and William Optics dealer with a very good price. The darasartcenter price is the same as the price that we import by ourselves (US price + shipping cost + import tax) and it is hassle-free :)
