Hi Nate88, Are you purchasing your phone to keep or just one to use while you are there. If it is one to keep in my opinion Bangkok would be the better of the two as the choice is far greater. Hope this helps in some way and am sure other members will advise too. Enjoy the land of smiles regards os2go
I had the same dilema when I was over 3 weeks ago. Just before we left my Samsung landed in the pool and the cost of a handset here without a contract is crazy. I flew through Singapore and picked up a good deal (relative to prices at home) on a Nokia.Bought at the duty free shop at Changhi Airport
I asked the lady if it would be cheaper in Phuket and she said maybe but might not be an original item. As it turns out the phone was not cheaper in Phuket and I the phone I bought has an international warranty.
My advice would be to buy from a reputable store in Bangkok
