SMT and Anything else
Non usual or SMT components: I’ve been cycling around a lot and there’s no miracle. You have to order online. There are sellers in Bangkok and it’ll take a few days but their websites are in Thai. Or buy on any usual online store. That’s what local professional do, they order on Aliexpress! And it’s cheaper too.
