Anyone know where I can find HIGH QUALITY hair cutting clippers in Bangkok? (or anywhere in Thailand). I have been through about 5 hair cutting clippers since living in BKK, and all of them are broken already when i buy new, or broken VERY quickly after buying. They are all VERY low quality.

 

In USA I have $30 hair cutting clippers from Best Buy that are better quality than the $200+ i've spent on my 5 clippers I've bought in Thailand.

 

I'm even thinking about going/calling a barber college/university to ask them where I can get the best clippers. I really wish my USA clippers power could work on Thai voltage

 

Please help!!!!!

Btw, i have bought some from the electronics section at MBK, also bought one from Pantip (seemed like a knockoff brand type), also from the little department store at Fortune up on 3rd or 4th floor, and quite a few more places. I don't trust buying any from Tesco or Big C, i've seen some at those and they look totally cheapy. I have even brought some of my USA clippers and bought a voltage adapter and that wont work too. 

 

Really it seems hopeless to get a good quality hair clippers in Thailand, that have a real working gaurantee/warranty, i really need some help ya'll !!!

If you can wait 2 weeks, I can bring you a set. Let me know what you need.

oh man, thanks a BUNCH!

 

Only problem man, is , (i've tried before), the power voltage shit from USA doesnt fit the ones in Thai..... I have brought hair clippers, Nintendo NES system for video games, and other things before, i have blown fuses and lost power for the day in my condo (from the Nintendo, and it burnt my system to hell), i also called that WAHLS company (they make good clippers in USA), they said it's impossible for USA clippers to work on Thai and most Asian power outlets, even if using adapters

 

Thank you so much, i appreciate your offer, but unfortunately my only choice of ever using quality clippers in Thailand are if i buy them there somewhere

Have you also used power converters?

Yes, that's actually what i mean by "adapters", is yes, i've tried those power converter adapter things, many many, and they all have blown out on me Using those, still have fried any device I've tried (clippers, Nintendo, etc)
