After solving the problem of charging my gadgets, there is only one problem: charging my Apple Watch. Since there is no Apple Watch charger at Big-C, I can only get it the next day.

I wanted to get the Apple Watch Magnetic Fast Charger to USB-C Cable (1 m) from Apple Store in Central World which is directly opposite my hotel, Moxy Bangkok Ratchaprasong. But it is way more expensive in Thailand than in Singapore. The official retail price of that cable is TH฿1,290 (S$52), and in Singapore, it is only S$39. So, I aborted the idea.

I didn’t expect I would forget to bring my Travel Gadget Pouch to Bangkok, which contains my chargers and cables to charge all my gadgets.

The hotel I stayed in, Moxy Bangkok Ratchaprasong, only has USB-A sockets on the wall socket.

Nomad has two USB-C to USB-C cables. Nomad USB-C Cable in 1m/100W and Nomad USB-C Cable in 1.5m/60W.

The three differences between them are the length of the cable, USB-C Power Delivery (PD) profile, and USB transfer speed.

Belkin Valet – Charge Dock for Apple Watch & iPhone is an exclusive item available to Apple Stores and Apple Authorized Resellers. It is retailing for S$194 in Singapore and is available in three colors, Silver, Rose Gold and Black. If I am not wrong, Rose Gold and Black might be an Apple Online Store exclusive.

It is expensive for a dock, and I will probably not get it unless it is an impulse buy, which is what I did.

The Bluelounge Soba is a cable routing kit. It consolidates multiple cables into a single tube so that your cables will look neater.

I bought mine from Paragon Department store located inside Siam Paragon in Bangkok, Thailand, for TH฿890 (S$36).

The Just Mobile Alupad is an aluminium mouse pad crafted from a slab of anodised aluminium wrapped in seamless white plastic.

It differs slightly from MacPadd Aluminium Mouse Pad because of the white plastic wrap.

The Bluelounge Posto is the Bluelounge’s version of a headphone stand. It comes in three pieces and hence a one-time assembly is required. It comes in two colors, Black or White.

I bought mine from Paragon Department store located inside Siam Paragon in Bangkok, Thailand, for TH฿750 (S$30).

Apple Watch Magnetic Charging Dock is retailing for S$118 in Singapore but I got mine in Bangkok, Thailand, from iStudio at Siam Paragon for TH฿3,300 (S$131). It is S$13 more expensive than Singapore. Even after the VAT refund of ฿215 (S$8.50), it is still more expensive.

The Apple Watch Magnetic Charging Dock is smaller (measuring at 10.4cm in diameter) and much heavier than I expected (weighing at 154g).

The Bluelounge Pixi is a multi-purpose tie that comes in three sizes: Small, Medium and Large.

For each size, there are two different length of cables included and the quantity of cables also differs.
