Panasonic TV

[Bigleg 0]

I purchased a new plasma TV last year which I'm very happy with, due to unforeseen circumstances I'm moving to Thailand, Pattaya. YIPEE!!.

My question is, if anyone knows if I can succesfully use this screen in Thailand?. If not why?

Any advice appreciated.

 

Thanks

Well, you could always use it as a giant computer monitor. Or to play X-Box, or perhaps to watch DVDs. Or maybe if you have some sort of a digital cable/satelite box. But if it came with a tuner, the tuner probably won't work in Thailand. A year or so ago I bought an LCD tv, but I'm giving it away. I figure that by the time I paid to ship it, I could almost buy another one.

Thanks for the link Cennn3 . Looks like I should be ok.

My next problem is finding the cheapest shipping option

Shipping goods to Thailand is expensive. The cost by sea is dependent on the actual size.

 

I shipped over a load of books, CD's, photographic albums all of which fitted into 4 medium sized cardboard boxes and the cost came to more than £700. If you send the goods over by air the cost is, I believe, based on weight. Whatever option you chose, ensure that you get a door to door service! It saves you the hassle of having to go to Bangkok and uplift your goods.

 

Also, unless you have a Business visa you will HAVE to pay customs duty on what you import into the Kingdom. I got away with 4,000 baht BUT no receipt. If I had wanted a receipt, Customs may very well have insisted on valuing all my CD's (as well as confiscating some of my photographic albums due to the content being deemed inappropriate ).
