phetphet Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Just a heads up for the locals. I went to InkWorld (opposite Thai Inter Hospital) today to buy some cartridges for my printer. They have a sign in the window that they will be closing the business from the 13th April. From what I could understand from the lady, it is the ink consumables side of the business. Not sure about the repairs and Fiber installation side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To confirm, I asked the lady if they will reopen after Songkran. She said "No". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evadgib Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 My son just took a look (at my screen) & after a bit of prompting he thinks they'll open again after Songkran. HTH Re Ink by mail order; Lazada can be hit and miss. A brace of cartridges from a Bkk outlet ordered CoD last week failed to materialize yet a pair ordered on Monday from a different bkk outlet arrived yesterday!

limbos Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Nope, went today and the shop is empty. Called them and they are permanently closed. Not too worried about ink, but where to repair my printer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropicalevo Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Yes. I always found that their printer repair service was very good. Alternatives anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropicalevo Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 I recently ordered printer cartridges from invadeIT. Decent price and delivery in under 4 days to Samui. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozman52 Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Newer printers have bottle refills at much cheaper prices than cartridges. Maybe they have seen the writing on the wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phetphet Posted August 22, 2019 Author Share Posted August 22, 2019 Don't know of anywhere since Ink World closed. Maybe try Google. Perhaps have a look on Youtube to see if there are any videos on how to clear it yourself. HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropicalevo Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 After the demise of InkWorld for printer repairs, I have finally found another candidate. On the ring road - heading out of Chaweng from Tesco towards Lamai. Just after the Caltex petrol station turn right (Soi 12) and second shop on the left. Called My Computer. 081 569 8986. Easily seen on street view. The sorted my printer out quite quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
