I needed a new travel bag, and I was quite apprehensive, especially after having read earlier related threads here, which all seem to be closed now (therefore a new one). 

 

Passing by, I saw a store here

It seems to have a fairly good selection. Don't go there if you expect Samsonite, but if you're open for decent alternatives, you might be lucky. I bought a bag from July http://july.co.th/

 

This is not a recommendation, it's been my first time there. Still I found it decent enough to pass it on - you could give it a try before attempting to strike a deal with a street vendor. 

What's the name? Findigs has stores in Jomtien, been around for years, good guarantees and prices much lower than the name brands.

Don't know. It looks like a non-chain store, opposite the taxi (baht bus) stand. It could be 'new' because I couldn't with certainty find it through Street View. But when you go there, then 'you can't miss it'.

It is probably this place:
