Hopefully, I can find a Northface winter coat - seconds or knockoff (Goretex, zip out liner) for my significant other. The official coat is priced at 17,000 baht ($552.00) here in Chiang Mai. Righhhhttt, like I can afford that as a "fair" price. Made in Indonesia.

The fake logo won't keep her warm.  What's wrong with the same version without the logo?

Yup that's what i paid for a real one as well.

 

In the MBK they sold loads of knockoffs but the zippers were not good.

 

You can also search online and maybe find a cheap one there.

The Thai need the same jackets as farang who wear them every day.

 

Has to do with face and so. They might even let the pricetag on it to show how expensive it was.

Did they miss the fakes in charge. 

Do you mean the generals that were bought at a General Store by a previous government?  Too bad they didn't read the label.  Probably would have said Made in China, (note the preference  for Chinese trade) no warranty (that they will not attempt to take over the country).  The other generals that came with a brain, morals and ethics were just too expensive.

...As long as the outside temperature doesn't drop under 10°C., what it does, in most European countries, at daytime, during the wintermonths... So, the usual BS, and on top of it 95+% of that stuff is not made in Thailand! China, Vietnam, Cambodia, Bangladesh, you name it, yet another 'war' the Thai ostriches lost to the Chinese merchants owning(!) their country... Never mind, just IMO... You're the best! LOL
