Comments:

 I first came across eThaiCD when I was looking for Dong Bang Shin Ki concert DVDs. After comparing prices from several other sites, eThaiCD was the cheapest. The DVDs were Thai edition and comes with Thai subtitle, other than that, the contents are exactly the same as the korean edition. The subtitle can be turned off so it didn’t bother me at all. The DVDs are legitimate (not burnt copies) so I was very happy with them.

I have also bought some of their Thai magazines. I personally think they’re a little pricey for its quality. But considering it has free shipping, I still buy from them because I don’t know where else to get them.

What I love the most from eThaiCD is the customer service. I have twice emailed the store manager for special products that they don’t have listed on the site but I know they have been released in Thailand. He promptly replied to me (within minutes) with detailed information. He’s also very honest with the price and quality. The first time he told me what I was looking for was not worth the shipping cost but he’ll still get them for me if I want to (I ended up not getting it). The second time, he told me honestly the quality of the goods and again, he will get it if I still want it (which I did get and very happy about).

They’re also quick in replacing damaged item. Once I ordered a photobook and there was scratches all over it. I complained and they sent me a brand new one immediately at no cost without me having to return the damaged item. That’s what I call commitments!

Overall, I highly recommend eThaiCD for anything Thai! They also have english movies but I’ve never ordered them so I’m not sure how’s the quality but considering they only sell legitimate stuffs, I’m pretty sure they’re good.

If you don’t know the korean band “Dong Bang Shin Ki” (which you should totally check out), this DVD set is probably meaningless to you but if you’re an avid fans like me, this is a MUST HAVE and MUST BUY NOW for the following reason:
1. Season 1 and 2 have been more than entertaining. The boys know how to make you laugh and cry. Season 2 especially with 5 DVDs. This one comes with 6 DVDs with running times of almost 15 hours. It contains music performances, couple talk, variety shows where they transform into comedians to make you laugh, behind the scene stuffs, and many more.
2. It comes with english subtitle. None of their other DVDs come with english subtitle. So you can watch it on your big TV screen and understand what they’re talking about!
3. It’s highly in demand so I won’t be surprised it’ll get out of stock as soon as it’s released. So make sure you pre-order now.
4. First press edition comes with photobook and a poster. If these things matter to you, all the more you need to pre-order NOW.

It’s available on YesAsia (includes shipping: US$59.99 with folded poster, US$69.99 with tubed poster) and DVDHeaven (doesn’t include shipping: US$44.70 without poster, US$58.80 with poster). Get wherever works out cheaper for you.

For shipping to Australia, YesAsia is still few dollars cheaper for both versions so I went with them.

The release date is August 17, 2009 and its estimated arrrival date is end of August. Still a long way to wait…
