I too am going to Bangkok and planning on buying an iPhone out there …

Having read all the posts, I am hopeful that the price would have fallen since they were 20,000 baht.

Any idea about the recent prices that I would be expected to pay for an iPhone 3G?

Hi,

I am saving up for an iPhone. I live in Koh Samui and im still living here until the end of December. I am wondering about the lowest price I can get for a 8gb iPhone and a 16gb iPhone. The only difference I see is of the storage space and hopefully the 8gb iPhone would be maybe half price? I am wondering about the costs now, not in 2007. If possible can you find out the lowest price for me? I have tried looking at the MBK website but they don’t keep any information.

Hope to get a reply.

Sincerly,

Nathan

I am going to Bangkok next week and was thinking of buying an iPhone there …

Coming from Belgium, where the iPhone is not yet out, 20,000 baht would be a good price for me. But am still hesitating while reading what BangkokDan as well as anthony wrote.

As I am a tourist in Bangkok, I won’t be able to come back. Hence I rather buy the phone without being unlocked and do it myself while reading the web. Is that possible? Can you ask for a not-unlocked phone?

ziamissimo be careful whom you take it to at MBK. Most stores do not do the unlocking on site and really have no clue as to what exactly is done to the phone. More importantly you won’t know what is done to the phone. Unless you can talk to the actually programmer you will not be able to upgrade or install any apps.

ziamissimo: Google for "how to unlock iPhone". You get tons of suggestions and instructions. Otherwise at MBK they can unlock it for you. BangkokDan

I got the AIS GPRS package 60 hrs/month for 200 baht. Check with AIS, they have other packages. Otherwise a minute GPRS costs you each 1 baht.

DTAC has a monthly unlimited GPRS package for 999 baht. Shop around. But you need monthly subscriptions for these plans.

Or the iPhone lets you use WiFi hotspots.
