There is really only one place to buy computer software and that is at Panthip Plaza, on Petchburi road near the Amari Watergate Hotel.
Everything under the sun and computer related can be found here. With seven floors of shopping heaven for computer buffs, copy is very much the thing here. So if you are buying something at regular prices be very careful. The shop on the top floor is very reliable, and offers mainly original soft and hardware.
Due to a lot of police restrictions, which seem to change month by month, the shops sometimes will refuse to sell you copy software directly instead they have to send it to you by EMS (registered post) there is not normally any problems with this.
However this does mean that you should visit this computer heaven early in your trip, if you plan to buy some software, so that the sellers have enough time to send it to you if required. Three days should normally suffice at the most. Having said that please note that these restrictions change all the time, and you will even see vendors removing all the latest DVD's, CD's, VCD's and software very quickly only for it to reappear minutes later once we presume an inspection is finished.
