Michael W Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Anyone know where I can find basic athletic sweatpants such as Russell Athletic ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000ANEW...1862228-2574512 ) or a quality knockoff? Everywhere I've looked (Robinson, Pratunam, Big C, etc.) I've only found the lighter weight warmup pants (often striped) or a cargo pants hybrid rather than just your basic sweatpants. Oh, and of course I'm looking for male farang size L, XL, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're perfect for camping trips up North in the cold season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldAsiaHand Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 As far as I know, they're just not available here. I've been looking for them on and off for over ten years, but have never seen a single pair anywhere. I'm still buying mine overseas when I need replacements.

Michael W Posted January 25, 2006 Author Share Posted January 25, 2006 (edited) Just to add another data point, I've just come back from the FBT Sports Complex on Rhamkamheng at the corner of Soi 65. This is a massive (5 floor) structure devoted to nothing else but athletic and sports team wear (including trophies). I went on the recommendation of someone who PM'd me about it. They also have a Web site ( http://www.fbtsports.com ) but there's much more in the store than is online; they're open until 8pm. Unfortunately, although I found some pants that sort of approached what I was looking for, I still wasn't quite satisfied (nor am I particularly desperate at the moment for sweatpants). However, they may have something to satisfy someone a bit less fussy, so you might want to check them out. To get there, take the Skytrain to Prakhanong station and then the 22, 71, or 501 bus to Rhamkamheng Soi 65 (or a taxi for about 85 baht). Also on Soi 65 on the same side as FBT but at the end of the block is the much smaller Grand Sport ( http://www.grandsport.com ) which was closed (they close at 6pm during the week and noon on weekends) so I didn't get to check them out, though a security guard said they sold the same stuff as FBT but who knows.

Abandon Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 take a run around pretty much any park and you will find some. Just look down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
