QUOTE(stimix @ Mar 10 2010, 11:59 AM) Nah...the gems stores & Palace scam not so bad...Just dun kena the Duty free Scam at Swanabhumi airport..That one you really kena jail wan!! BTW, there is another SCAM which I think originating from KL itself & now making wave to Vietnam & all other cities in SEA...I have read lotsa travelblogs and few of the bloggers already kena dy... Those are by maaysian (Yeah as written by those bloggers..Malaysian in Ho Chi Minh city also did this  ) Normally started wth young ladies or old guy sitting beside a mat Salleh & started converstion in near perfect English & telling of their son/daughter study oversea & now facing lotsa financial burden. Thereafter the guy will offered helps to the Mat Salleh on the attraction in KL/ other cities n SEA. Thereafter bringing him home & started paying poker/ blackjack..1st they will let te Mat Salleh win but once losing, they will offer cheap Ah Long loan to lure him....Once the loan lost on table....Aha..Mat Salleh forced to withdraw from ATM, banks & etc....So beware of this new SCAM hor What is the duty free scam ?? |

Yes they have IT plaza just like Lowyat - Prontip plaza at Pratunam area. Not sure when the sales period.
But hor...All eletricla & most electronics & even computers are heavily & worst taxed than M'sia....Getting in Developed countries such as HK, Singapore & evenMalaysia cheaper lah..
