Holga in Bangkok
|
Does anyone know where I can buy Holga cameras in Bangkok?I am looking for Holga cameras for my students to teach them something about film concepts, different formats, etc.
Any feedback appreciated.

I used to buy them at Manga, which has now finally closed down.
There is a Lomo store in bangkok soi 39, not sure of the exact name but it shouldn’t be hard to find

But sure to get the one without that silly colorflash when you get one. The regular edition has a far stronger and betther flash.
I got mine from Hing Kong through ebay. Pretty fast shipment and good prices. Might be of consideration if Bangkok turns out to be Holga-less.

Screw Holgas. If you insist on wasting their time with outdated tech, get them disposables.
|
how about buying them online? jut google anything out… i’m sure you can negotiate a deal with them… like for example this shop here:

Try Loft at Siam Discovery. They have them and the whole Lomo range (though much more expensive than online.)

Hi – there is a place selling Holgas on Ploenchit Road, just near the overpass that marks the border where Ploenchit turns into Sukhumvit. (On the right hand side as you head towards Sukhumvit.) I think it’d be between Wireless Roads and Soi Ruam Rudee, if I had to guess.
It’s a little, dingey shopping center. I pass by it with amazing frequency, and have indeed been inside. But I’ve never had to describe where it is before, so forgive the generalities.
There’s a Holga sign outside the shopping center on the main drag.
