Hi everyone,
I need a bit of help assembling some printed circuit boards, so I had hoped to find a person with some soldering experience, a tv-repairman or anyone with electronics as a hobby.
The boards are a bit advanced, with mostly SMD-components (surface-mounted), so it would have to be someone with a steady hand.
Any suggestions?

There are many in Hua Hin.
The phone/computer shop in Soi Nebkerhardt a few doors from the Dechanucit traffic lights.
Further along the same road on the same side next to the junction with a side Soi with no name and probably the best bet is one on the railway road (Riab Tong Rot Fai) on the opposite side to the railway about one block north of the Night Market road (Dechanucit).
There is another two doors from All in Hua Hin in Sra Song Road.

Be aware that smd components are not a piece of component you just use a soldering bit to attach to a printed circuit board.
Normally you would need to wave soldering them or use IP or glue to mount them.
They are just too small and it's too easy to "kill" both component and pcb.
No wonder why some people refused to do it by hand.
It's of course possible to do it by hand if you have the right equipment, but it is a great risk.
You will need a low wattage or temperature controlled pencil soldering iron with a pointed tip, and I'm not sure you will find it here. (Maybe in Bangkok though).
You also need people with knowledge to do the job.
Very difficult to find and educate amateurs to do this sort of work.
(Direction of component, heat, short-circuit, fingerprints etc.).
You better do it yourself or contact:
SCI Systems Thailand Ltd.
Tel 5012400 and ask if they can give you the right connections.

I intend to live forever - so far so good.
Norseman,
thanks. Probably SCI Systems is a good place to inquire.
But I am still a bit surprised there are no locals here who could do it.
I have been soldering SMD's by hand for 20 years for my prototypes, with relatively simple soldering irons (ok, they are pointed and temperature-controlled, but the one I have here costs 50$), and so far I have had NO destroyed components.
When my son was 14 and was saving for a Nintendo, I gave him some pcb's to solder, with lots of SMD's. After less than an hour of training, he managed nicely.
Most electronic hobbyshops in Europe also sell kits for SMD-soldering training. (Flashing LED Christmas trees etc.) So there, any town the size of HH would have a large number of young boys/men with this knowledge.
But of course, there are differences between Thailand and Europe.
The funny thing is, that I often get surprised at what kind of knowledge and skills people here really posess. Often it's just a question of finding the right people. After all, there are a lot to choose from.

Guess,
again thanks for the advice.
Ok, they were not so happy about the SMD's, but the rest (about 300 solder points/board of through-hole components) they could do at HH Electronic shop as you suggested. They didn't speak a word english, but their work was beautiful, almost better than I could have done myself.
So now I've saved my back. It always gives me weeks of trouble after a soldering job like that. A good investment of 900 baht.
