Where can I buy helmets for a farang-sized head in Phuket?

[ohno]

 

I'd like a helmet of at least reasonable quality that fits my big farang head. Somewhere near Patong/Kamala would be preferable if possible. Any ideas?

[3NUMBAS]

klingon or ferengi?

Just have to hit the helmet shops.  Took me a while to find one that fit.

 

Good Luck

Indeed. Have been through this process before. Any specific recommendations gratefully accepted ????

If you know what you want and the size....  try Paddock Bangkok... (postal).

 

I recently Sandboxed in Phuket and didnt want to rely on a rental helmet - I ordered one from Paddock and it was at the Sandbox hotel waiting for me when I arrived *(As I only had a full face helmet I wanted an open face helmet anyway).

 

I’d researched ‘helmet shops’ in Phuket before choosing to order from Bangkok online - I didnt find much in the way of reasonable online information or selections but imagine there are a handful of shops that have stock but fail on the e-commerce side of things.

Sorry, not located on Phuket.  No personal experience, but the Big Bike shop seems to have a few:

thanks for your helpful input

 

Some folks haven't got a clue where to start.  Might be a tourist for all I know, and if so,  not much in tourist areas, according to Gmap, and understandable, since shy on tourist for awhile.

 

He / she might of thought about a recommendations for chain stores or something (not good idea), not knowing there's helmet shops all over Thailand.

No such  thing as a farang  size  head at all

I also have a big head and found a good selection of helmets that fit me at Tawan Bike Shop across from Patong Hospital.  https://tawanbikeshop.business.site/

Good helmet shops in Kata on Koktanod Road and in Sai Yuan on Sai Yuan Road.

Yes, was going to mention Prasut bigbike. They also have a shop in Patong in Sai nam yen road. They stock everything from cheap Index to AGV, Shoei, Arai etc.

[ohno]

Thanks for all the suggestions - I opted for Tawan in Patong in the end because it was nearby. Will check out Prasut next time I am in the area.
