Hi all,

I'm looking for advice on finding a helmet store in Bangkok, for open face helmet.

Between, 5 and 10 000.

Thanks.

Panda rider

Paddock

320sp

There are of course dozens more, but these are 3 big ones in different locations.

Panda Rider Bangkok

 

Paddock Bangkok

 

320sp Bangkok

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.

Bought my Shark and my ex's HJC at Your Helmets a couple years ago, they were really friendly.

A big bugg might change your mind about open face helmets ????

 

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

Thanks for advice.

But, i'm in Samui, and i can not ride fast.

You need to try and make your jokes a bit funny, rather than just mentioning things to do with sex .

Never hit a bird, but I did get a rather angry bee between my WWII flying goggles and my open face lid (would have been in the late 70s). That was an, er, interesting experience.

 

 

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.

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.

Unrelated to the Helmet, but for motorbike gear I recommend Riders Care in Chiang Mai, the people there are more helpful and many things are a bit cheaper there.
