There is a store in the Mahaboonkrong shopping center which deals in second hand Leicas, collectibles and Nikons. He sold off most of his better stuff when the Bhat dropped, still an interesting store and interesting guy, I just looked for his card but I can't find it. I have taken my R Leicas to Thailand before, and the elephant photos on my web page were taken with them. I think Thailand is a fascinating place and a photographer's dream. BTW The king of Thailand is or was a leica user and an avid photographer. John http://sites.netscape.net/bosjohnusa/homepage
