The vendors there would have no shame to sell you any electronics for a multiple of what its worth, but if you know its value, you can negotiate your hearts out and leave home with a great deal and without spending time and money on a return flight to an Electronic Haven elsewhere in Asia. Some good bargains can be had here also, if you do your homework and know the standard prices for the stuff you want. While housed in a 3-stories high building with around 100 shops all under one roof, it’s nowhere near as big as its big brethren in the former Asian capitols. The equivalent to go to in Bali (sans international warranty) is Rimo Center in Denpasar’s Jalan Deponegoro. Here you can find great bargains and products with Asia- or even Worldwide warranty. If you think that most of this stuff is imported, you are only partially right, as more and more options are available locally for desperate tech geeks.īangkok has its Panthip Plaza or Powerbuy Shops, Kuala Lumpur its Low Yat Plaza, Singapore is blessed with a Funan IT Mall or Sim Lim Tower/Square and Electronic Supermarkets like Challenger, Harvey Norman, Best Denki or Courts. While most of its population is still working in agriculture or is employed in the tourism industry, electronic helpers like laptops, smartphones and even iPads can increasingly be seen in public.
So where are the places to go and get your fix, if you have a gadget addiction?īali has currently between 4-5 Million residents, depending on whom you ask and what season you come here.
This provides new opportunities to sell IT and gadget gear here also and suppliers make increasingly use of it. But thankfully, things are changing fast and the population of Bali (and its Expat Community) are getting more and more tech affine.

If you are into Electronic Gadgets, you might think that a holiday destination like Bali is not the right place to buy or bargain for the latest toys.
