Tukcom IT Center

The store is located on Pattaya Tai (South Pattaya Road) & Soi Buakhao. It is the big red building with an (what I am sure is some type of copyright infringement) image of the Internet Explorer logo plastered to the outside of it. You can’t miss the place.

Mobile Phones and SIM Cards

The most popular floor has to be the cell phone area. It is the best place to buy a new smartphone is Pattaya. There are dozens of small little shops selling everything from smartphone cases to the latest iPhone, Samsung tablets, and Apple iPads. The place is always crowded with people doing a good trade.

If you need to get a Thai SIM card this is the floor for you. There is a DTAC stand in the back that will sell you one and get you set up. You’ll need your Passport.

Computers, Software, & IT Gear

The upper floors are a mixture of various small computer shop, again mostly selling variations of the same thing. You can find all kinds or software and computer accessories available. If you need to have your computer repaired there are several shops that will work on your laptop or desktop for you.

Food Court, Groceries, & Clothing

The underground level doesn’t get much traffic, except for the people who know about it. You’d never guess there was another floor below the ground floor as it isn’t very well marked and the staircases don’t seem like they are going to another shopping level – but they are.

Here you can find some good prices on groceries and other food stuffs, as well as a pretty decent food court. They have a selection of clothes for sale down there as well.

Tukcom Pricing – Getting A Good Deal

With so many little shops right next to each other competing for your business, it is quite easy to haggle on prices. It helps to have a good idea of what the good costs back home and what you are willing to pay for it before you go shopping.

I’ve found that when someone quotes me a price, I simply smile, acknowledge the price is too high, and let them know I’m going to check other stands. Usually, they will stop you with something along the lines of “what you want to pay?” Give them your bottom line price. They may agree to it right off or start a negotiation. Very few times has the original asking price been what I’ve paid in the end.
