Where in Pattaya can you buy sailboat rigging, epoxy, boatbuilding, repair, supplys? Do we have like a west marine store? Is there one place that has the best deals on MAKITA, or PORTER CABLE power tools? What about big BAND SAWS ???

There is a chandlers at the traffic lights at NaKlua, on the main Sukhumvit road. Also try the marina, 10 km south of Pattaya, near the Ambassador hotel.

There are a number of good hardware stores that should be able to sell the tools that you need. They may also be able to point you in the direction of the band saw.

If you are in the Jomtien area, come up from the beach and carry on up Thrappaya (sp?) road towards Pattaya. After you go over the top on the hill there is a large showroom on the left about 100 metres past Sugar Hut which appears to sell marine related supplies as well as some exceedingly expensive looking boats.

Thanx for the replys, I will check it out. Right now im building some model boats out of wood but would like to build a 16 ft sailboat for some fun.

There is an Italian boatbuilder who relocated to Tepprasit road about 150 meters before the junction with Tappraya road....His name is Raoul ...there is a sign. He might be able to help you out!
