AbeSurd Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Anyone know of a cobblers shop in central Pattaya? Somewhere very near Tukcom would be ideal. A friend of mine just bought an expensive pair of shoes and needs them expanding a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbko Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Over on the Darkside there's a small shop that works on shoes, located on Soi Nernplab Wan at the train tracks intersection NW corner. https://www.google.com/maps/@12.9320509,100.905266,3a,41.5y,359.94h,79.43t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1soqEeBd6sPFbTTpED_Qw3CQ!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3DoqEeBd6sPFbTTpED_Qw3CQ%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile.gps%26w%3D203%26h%3D100%26yaw%3D202.74692%26pitch%3D0%26thumbfov%3D100!7i16384!8i8192 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
law ling Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 A guy has a business in a tiny shop space on South Pattaya Road, just three or four doors up from the intersection with Second Road (opposite the school, same side as the temple). (Was there a few weeks ago to get some extra holes punched into a leather belt. He charged B20 - so I asked why was it so expensive? - and he explained that it took a lot of effort to get through the leather.) (Another shoe guy near my place was there for years operating from the sidewalk - always seen up to his elbows in shoes and bags - but gone now ... another covid business casualty.)

I guess the shop figured if someone can't figure out how to find a sharp object around the house to make a hole in a belt they need to be charged for it especially if leather hole punch was used instead of something like just a nail.
