Pi Tao Posted May 11, 2022 Posted May 11, 2022 Hi all, I'm looking for advice on finding a helmet store in Bangkok, for open face helmet. Between, 5 and 10 000. Thanks.
FriendlyFarang Posted May 11, 2022 Posted May 11, 2022 Panda rider Paddock 320sp There are of course dozens more, but these are 3 big ones in different locations. 1
richard_smith237 Posted May 11, 2022 Posted May 11, 2022 There are few. Paddock and Panda Rider as already mentioned. There is also HelmetshipBKK out near the airport (a bit out of the way, but a decent selection of Bell Helmets). There is Gorilla Rider Helmets (online Nakhon Sawan). The issue I have found is size - its difficult to purchase a helmet online because of the fit. Thus: I find the model I like and go to a shop and check the sizing... They may not always have the colour / size combo you want in the shop.... Then purchase the helmet online i.e. on Lazada https://www.lazada.co.th/products/bell-eliminator-helmet-gloss-white-gorilla-rider-bell-i2018108441.html No need to worry about fakes - If its fake, you can return it on Lazada. 2

I got hit pretty bad in high speed, but not as bad as one other guy who got an open flesh wound on his cheek. Take care, be safe 1
Pi Tao Posted May 31, 2022 Author Posted May 31, 2022 @ Hummin Thanks for advice. But, i'm in Samui, and i can not ride fast. 1

papa al Posted June 1, 2022 Posted June 1, 2022 Once upon a time in Isaan... whacked 2 birds, those small dove-looking ones. one off the helmet, one off the fairing. /// Insects are scary. 1
gamb00ler Posted June 1, 2022 Posted June 1, 2022 I realize the OP already made his selection. I'll just add that the most comfortable helmet I've ever had is my current Bell Scout Air ~7K฿. Available at Chang Moto in CM and at ร้านหมวกกันน็อค Helmetshopbkk (on Facebook) in Bangkok.
