Need Hanhemuhle Photo Rag A3+ in Bangkok
2002-06-14 by Mitch Alland
While in Paris last month, I had wanted to buy some Hahnemuhle Photo Rag 308 gram A3+ and some 188 gram A4 paper. I epxlored possibilites for buying in London and Paris, but couldn't work out buying the paper so that I could get the VAT refunded when I took it to Bangkok; and, in any case, by the time I was ready to travel I had too much overweight luggage. Now that I am in Bangkok, I would like to find the cheapest source for Photo Rag. If the source is in the States, I have someone who is coming to Bangkok in July and can bring it over for me; if the source is in Europe, I'll have to pay for shipping and import duty. While looking for the paper in Europe, I found a wide range of prices for the 308 gram A3+ Photo Rag 50 sheets: £107-127 ex-VAT. But the latter range is still substantially lower than the US price that I have found on the web: $240. So where is the cheapest place to get the Photo Rag? --Mitch/Bangkok
