ohno Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richard_smith237 Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 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.

ohno Posted January 12, 2022 Author Share Posted January 12, 2022 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
