Hey all,

Soon I will be travelling to Bangkok. I intend to purchase some kite gear there, looking for a few bargains. I am not to sure where to look.

Can anyone recommend a shop?
Would it be best to head to Pattaya Bay?

Look for the adams apple.. always a sure tell...

Hate to burst your bubble... NO bargains there. Well you might pick up 5% on US exchange rate win, that's about it. Price in US will be the same as price in US here.

Be careful in Bangkok, a friend of mine almost got seduced my a 'lady boy' recently.
He said she looked like a woman, talked like a woman, even kissed like a woman.
It wasn't until they drove back to her place and she reversed parked into a narrow parking space that he thought, "hang on a f...ing minute!"

A mate of a mate picked up a chick in a club on the way back to her place,she said that she had to stop to go to take a widdle, seizing on the moment he crept up behind her whilst she was squatting and placed his hand under her to his shock he felt something warm and long he jumped back and said wtf have you had a sex change to which she replied no me have a change of mind me having a s**t

dont buy gear there, death penalty still alive and well, you pay a bit more here but they wont lock u up for more than a couple of days for gram or so

The one you knock back is the one you never get

Look up kiteboarding Asia, they have shops in chumpon & Hua hin. There was another shop just south of Hua hin www.kitesurfthailand.com

check on the net that its an "authorized dealer" of what ever brand you are buying and the make %100 sure that the item has a product code on kite and bar and lines.. few stories going around that shops are selling factory 2nds to unaware people and items do not have a warranty!
