Guest travelerjim Posted January 19, 2007 Posted January 19, 2007 Thanks GT Friends for your help... I am wanting to purchase a small home office type of "paper shredder" for personal use. Back in the USA these can be found in stores like Office Depot, Office Max and Staples as well as other office supply companies...and superstores like Sam's Club etc. I have looked at Big C and in the malls of Pattaya but have seen no paper shredding machines. Do you know where I can buy one ???.. Thanks again for your help. TravelerJim Are you taking a Thai friend to travel outside Thailand? Or to visit you in your country??

Gaybutton Posted January 19, 2007 Posted January 19, 2007 If you have not yet recovered enough to be able to do much walking, just give me a call and I'll be happy to drive you over there myself. If it turns out they don't have one, we'll shop around until we find what you're looking for. Quote

Thankfully, I am "on the mend" from my right hip replacement surgery done Dec 27th a BKK-Pattaya Hospital. I am carefully getting around on my two crutches - per doctor's orders. In as much as I would like to say YES to your kind offer and go shopping....I would prefer to have my bf take me to Office Depot this weekend. He is now finishing his 3rd year at Sripatum University - in Chonburi. I really would like him to see inside the Office Depot Store and be able to see first hand all they have to offer. I guess I view it as is part of his education - that is for me to have him visit stores and places he otherwise might not see on his own. I am constantly amazed at seeing him view new things and stores...His first visit to Home Pro was an "eye opener" for him. He wandered from aisle to aisle - viewing all the beautifully displayed merchandise they offer....and we have gone back to the store several times to "look" and look again. I remind him that the Thais as well as Farangs buy the nice merchandise Home Pro displays...and he is on his way to becoming one of the Thais who can afford to shop at Home Pro ...if he chooses to do so ...and his getting a good education is an important "first step" for him. Thanks again GB... maybe we can meet next week for lunch sometime? TravelerJim Quote
Gaybutton Posted January 19, 2007 Posted January 19, 2007 Thanks again GB... maybe we can meet next week for lunch sometime? Thank you. I'd love to. Just send me a PM with the date and time, or give me a call. Quote
2lz2p Posted January 19, 2007 Posted January 19, 2007 Travelerjim, I bought my paper shredder a year or so ago at Office Depot in Si Racha. So, I am guessing that the Office Depot they just put in near Big C on Sukhumvit Road will have what you are looking for. If your bf found HomePro interesting, he might like to take a stroll through the Homeworks store adjacent to Office Depot. The electrical appliance section within Homeworks store is operated by Power Buy (they also have a store in TukCom on Pattaya Thai). Quote
Guest fountainhall Posted January 19, 2007 Posted January 19, 2007 The Power Buy store in Silom Complex has lots of paper shredders. Quote
