I am going to Thailand, for a short film project, looking to buy a new Panasonic AF100, do you know of any good store in Bangkok to get this camera? Appreciate any thoughts!

Panasonic video gear is priced absurdly high here in Bangkok. You will have trouble finding even the GH2 let alone the AF100 at the local photographic or video retailers. Try Panasonic global website and search for the address and phone number of their local distributor which has a showroom close to one of the elevated train stations in the middle of the city. If there is any place you can find the camera and the necessary accessories, that will be it.

FYI, in video, Sony have such a dominant position here in both the professional and consumer markets that the other players seem to have more or less given up on trying to compete with them.

Wacharapong, appreciate your quick feedback, too bad, Singapore then could be a place to stop on the way, ( a bit out of the way). Expandore has it, from what I've heard!
Please let me know if you get a different info on Thailand! Cheers!
