Where to buy film in Bangkok; Floating Markets

[JHenry]

Hi all,

I'm looking for a store in Bangkok that sells quality film, specifically Kodak Portra 160 and/or 400, and Fuji Provia 100F and 400x.

I'm heading to Bhutan next month via Bangkok, and want to stock up on film before I go. Buying it in Bangkok will, I'm guessing, be cheaper than buying it in New Zealand, and will also reduce the number of airport hand-carry x-rays it has to go through.

I've got plenty of time in Bangkok to pick it up, and if I can get a recommendation of a good store I'll give them a heads up several weeks in advance.

Also, any recommendations from locals on which of the numerous floating markets to visit? Understand most, if not all, are very touristy. But, I'll head out to one very early morning on a Sunday.

Thanks for your help.

In Bangkok, you can buy those films from "Siam Digital" at Siam Square area, and also some stores near "Central Ladprao" area.

Thanks. I searched online, but couldn't find a website or contact info. I really want to get in touch with a store before I go to Bangkok to make sure they have enough film on hold for me.

Any suggestions for stores that have a website, or does anybody have an email address for one of these stores?

Thanks

The shop where I buy doesn't have a website but I get my film at camera gallery in Thaniya Plaza, 4th floor, Silom road.

This place is the Voigtlander agent for Thailand and a major Leica dealer, I think they have film there:
