Beer Chang Posted January 8, 2010 Report Posted January 8, 2010 I've never bought clothes in Thailand partially due to my hating clothes shopping, European sizes, and mostly having brought enough clothes from home. Could use a pair of jeans, some underwear, and a pair of sneakers. I'm reluctant to buy a pair of jeans at an outdoor market cause I want to try them on, but the upscale malls seem as expensive as a Gap back in the States. Where do you guys go for clothes shopping in Pattaya?
Wino Posted January 12, 2010 Report Posted January 12, 2010 I have bought pants at the shopping mall on second road close to Pattaya Nua road. There are many shops in the mall along with Big C and a cinema. I did not find any bargains but at least they had my size.
lvdkeyes Posted January 12, 2010 Report Posted January 12, 2010 There is also a shop on 2nd Road just before Boyztown if you are going north that carries big sizes.
Beer Chang Posted January 13, 2010 Author Report Posted January 13, 2010 Bought a pair of used Levis for 500 baht at the Tuesday/Friday market.
Beer Chang Posted January 13, 2010 Author Report Posted January 13, 2010 Yes. I'd never buy jeans without trying them on. But it's not like an airconditioned Gap changing room. The guy with the most jeans has a dirt floor and it's not a comfortable situation. The other guy has a concrete floor but not a great selection of jeans but 80 baht denim shirts, kind of useless in Thailand but good to bring home.
Beer Chang Posted January 14, 2010 Author Report Posted January 14, 2010 I'm used to zippers, the buttons really dig into my thumb.
Wino Posted January 17, 2010 Report Posted January 17, 2010 Who knows, velcro may be in the near future?
Beer Chang Posted January 17, 2010 Author Report Posted January 17, 2010 Bought a pair of Timberland sandals in the States and the velcro just doesn't stick well. For sandals, I think Merrill is a better brand.
Wino Posted January 20, 2010 Report Posted January 20, 2010 I am not fond of velcro because it wears out quickly. Many people with disabilities like it, because it makes dressing themselves so much easier.
Beer Chang Posted January 20, 2010 Author Report Posted January 20, 2010 The Velcro on my sandals hardly worked from Day 1. My dad, who was disabled with a stroke thought Velcro was great though.
