Here’s Where To Print Documents In Bangkok And Do Photocopying [UPDATED]

It’s surprising how often I get asked where to print documents in Bangkok and do photocopying… even as a tourist. I guess it’s because if traveling through Asia, oftentimes when getting visas… it’s wise to print a copy especially for places like Vietnam. While I wrote this original blog post many years ago, it still seems highly relevant today.

Sadly, the 7-Eleven stores I mentioned no longer do the print and photocopying services that I described. Yet, having been to Bangkok this year… here is a helpful update on where to print documents in Bangkok and do photocopying services.

Now, in Bangkok, there are many places where you can do printing and photocopying. Yet, some places charge exorbitant prices. If you have a lot to print or photocopy and want to save some money, I did find a great place. Plus, it’s in the Sukhumvit area, in the heart of where many tourists visit… making it convenient.

It’s always an adventure exploring Bangkok, no matter how many times I visit. On this occasion I had to do some photocopying. I was trying to find somewhere within walking distance to where I was and who didn’t charge ridiculous prices. So, a few doors down from Drink Coffee HQ (great place to have coffee and croissant) in Mahatun Plaza is New SC Copy Center.

For me, this is the place to go for efficient and inexpensive printing services, by the group of ladies who work here. I could print from my USB or they have wifi so you can email to them what you need for printing. For black and white printing it only cost 1 baht per page from my USB. It’s probably even worth the BTS fare to get there if you have a lot to print. It’s conveniently located next to Phloen Chit BTS, opposite the massive Siam Pharmacy.

So, make sure you check it out as you now know where to print documents in Bangkok and do photocopying… at a very affordable price with efficient service.

Previous Info About Where to Print Documents in Bangkok and Do Photocopying

Unless you can read Thai, or the shop front is very obvious… it wasn’t easy to find a place to do printing and photocopying! Google Maps on this occasion wasn’t helpful either.

Yet, one day Paul and I were staying at the Ibis Sathorn Hotel Bangkok.

With my USB in hand… I was going to wander the streets AGAIN to find where to print documents in Bangkok!

To cope with the hot and humid weather… I decided to grab a cold drink at the 7-Eleven before heading off. This 7-Eleven was right across the road from the Ibis Hotel, so nice and convenient.

I Got Excited About The Simplest Thing!

As I walked in, I noticed a big machine on the right hand side…

And to my delight it was a photocopying machine! Who would’ve thought I’d get excited about something like that.

On the touchpad there was an option to change the language to English. Yet, I pressed it several times without success.

I then asked a staff member to help out. And it seemed like there was only 1 person at the time who could help… as several staff seemed to be calling out to someone!

Along came this young gentleman who spoke in broken English.

So I showed him my USB and said, “photocopy and print.” And thankfully on the machine it had these functions in English so I could point them out.

It’s an interesting system. If you want to print or copy something at the 7-Eleven, here’s what to do:

1. Confirm with the staff member if you want to print, scan and/or copy.
2. Confirm with the staff member how many pages of each you want.
3. You then need to go to the counter and pay.
4. They will give you a receipt for each type.
5. Give the receipt to the staff member.
6. The staff member will then do the rest for you!

TIP: From my understanding it only prints pdf type documents. I originally had a few documents in word, but the machine couldn’t read it. So convert to pdf if you can.

Also, be aware that not all 7-Elevens have a photocopying facility.

The prices are very reasonable. Plus, I got full service with a smile!

Thanks 7-Eleven! Now I know where to print documents in Bangkok and do photocopying for cheap. And in the end, it was a very simple process too.
