Buy test gear in Asia

I want to buy a Tek or Rigol LCD oscilloscope.

I will be soon flying overseas and have a choice of stop-over in Asia.

What are the prospects for purchasing this type of test gear in Bangkok, Singapore or Kuala Lumpur.

Could anyone with specific knowledge, please provide names of suitable outlets.

I realize the warranty may not be serviced in my home country.

Thanks for any advice.

Yes please,

You think a Tek is going to be cheaper in Asia? You might have a lot of problems, more serious than not having a warranty by not clearing customs if that is in your bag...I had a friend who was in Saudi Arabia leaving to go home and he had a Grudig shortwave receiver in his bag. The customs inspector opened his bag in front of him, saw the radio and said, "Tranceiver!" and 3 teenaged guards with pointed HK-91s in his face kept his rebuttal brief. He was led away and put in prison for several days until the US consul saw him and said, just sign the thing and say it's a transceiver and they will let you go and he was deported and told never to go back. Something to think about in places like Bangkok.
