Re: Shopping in Bangkok or Hong Kong Posted on: Sun, 23 Jan 2005 11:20:46 +0800

These days there does not appear to be much difference in the price between
Singapore and Australia for electronics. Primarily this is due to the
strengthening of the Aussie dollar over the Sing dollar.

My brother, who lives in Australia often asks me to price things in
Singapore, where I live and more often than not the difference is minimal if
at all.
