I am afraid the time has come to depart Pattaya,we shall return next May for our 5 month sojoun.

I have a particularly bulky case, which looks as though it could pop open at anytime, and could do with some sort of strapping to secure it.

Has anyone any suggestions where I could obtain some thing like webbing straps around 6 feet long ?

Failing that ideas regarding any other methods of securing it e.g belts etc ?

I bought a stap in the luggage area of Lotus. Two inches wide and about six foot long. Should be able to find in Big C or Carrefour also.

Try the luggage area of Mike's Department store? Maybe

Some rope should do....

...apart from using a strap - consider using rope - cheaper and if tied correctely much less likey to attract tappering interferance in transit.

Alternative suggestion: if departing via Swampy, use the plastic security wrap service. That should hold everything together nicely.

Also, there's a big leather goods shop on Pratumnak road - just up from the Pattaya Tai junction, on the right, that sells all sorts of luggage accessories so you might try there.

Go to any Boots pharmacy. they sell good luggage straps there at the corner where they sell stuff for voyage and trips like luggage straps, id tags, waterproof straps, earplugs, passport holders, etc.
