dvd player

Hi , I'd like to know if it's possible to rent a DVD player in Pattaya? My hotel does not provide this. Maybe it's possible in some shops with a caution?

Yes, great idea !!!

 

Do you think thai players can read european dvds? I don't know if the zones are compatible

Buy a "multi-regional" player.....if you can find one....

 

They have the guts tweeked to "read" any DVD made anywhere.

 

My American purchased DVD player would NOT read DVD's bought in Mexico...

 

I am sure it is the same with DVD's purchased in Asia.

Just an idea. I plan on bringing a DVD player to LOS that I'm going to purchase here in the States. It's $36 at Walmart and a little bigger than a school textbook. It's a good way to check to make sure that DVD's purchased in Thailand will work in the US. The only problem I can foresee is US DVD player compatibility with a Thai television. They might have differant signals/receivers. The DVD's I've purchased, so far, in Thailand have worked fine in my US player at home.

I purchased a Philips DVD player when I was in Pattaya this year

paid 3000 Baht for it at Lotus , slim design & is multi regional.

 

Checked on the price at a local shop when I came back here to OZ & it was $149 AUD or 4600 Baht

 

It has played all the DVD's I have bought back from Thailand plus the copies I have done here in OZ.

 

For those bringing DVD players fron overseas or planning to take them back may want to check what current they can handle.

 

The model I bought can run 110 volt to 240 volt, unsure if all DVD players are like this or not

On the recommendation of Soi 7, I purchased a Cyberhome DVD player last year from Best Buy for about $38. It was PAL/NTSC TV systems supported but I had to do something using the remote to make it work in LOS. It was very simple as Soi 7 told me what to do over the phone and took less than a minute.

FWIW

 

I took some DVDs and VCDs with me last time. Mostly bootlegs imported from Hong Kong. Just to show the girls what was expected of them.

I can play them here (PAL) with only a minor tweak on my DVD player.

 

They played with no problem on the DVD player in my hotel room.
