Hi all you BKK guys
Although I have been to LOS countless times, I am no shopper.
next week I am coming again. Some buddies and guys working for me have asked me to get some copy soccer shirts. I need about 30, various things, Enland, Ireland etc.
I have seen them in Patpong market but there must be somewhere better than that. Any advise??
Thanks
Dave

Never buy anything in the Pong night market, the prices are 3-4 times reality.
Best places are Pratunam market daytimes 7 days/week, or Chatuchak weekend market Saturdays and Sundays. As far as I know.
Chatuchak market: next to the park, corner Paholyothin and Rama 8 Rds by the Mo Chit BTS station (end of the line).
Pratunam market by Indra Hotel, Rajaprarop by Petchburi.
Both are huge, crowded, and mostly non air con. Dress comfortably and coolly, shoes to match, you will be doing a lot of walking around to find what you want. And haggle well! Just as a guess 200-250 baht each, pls don't berate me if my price intel is off, I'm not in the rag trade.

Your price is fairly accurate but if you are buying 5 or more pieces you should be able to get T's down to about 110B-120B if the shop will not barter move on, remember to check quality as it varies a lot. The T's with a big thick logo on them tend to fall apart with the first wasy, you are better off with silk screened. I import clothing from Thailand into Canada and have done a lot of research into this, have fun, cv

I'll put my two cents worth in.... since I usually don't have time to make shopping trips to the major markets, I've done most of my shopping at Patpong and have done pretty well. The key is to know the pricing on items and stick to it..... they will give in and if they don't, their neighbor will. I bought quite a few polo shirts (the polo copy ones) at 150 baht each. Most of the tourists down their will pay 500+! They've held up nicely too, over a year now and still like new. T's were as noted... around 100-120 depending on the shirt.

you will tend only to get premier league shirts ,I have just run a small order of 1000 Nottingham forest shirts in this seasons strip and they are perfect , you will find they will copy things for you and the workmanship is good with good quality fabric , 10 pounds a shirt at home your under selling them 15 pounds is better ,Nottingham Forest retails at 39.99 in the UK . AND CHRISTMAS IS COMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear Capt Farang
I see your signature is the motto of a bunch of nice boyos who hang around Herefordshire at a place called Sterling Lines. Used to be Bradbury Lines in my day. I'm a septic but, did some work with them in the old days.
Maybe we have some friends in common.
