Speed And Distance Monitors

[little14]

Hi everyone, I hoping you can help me- I'm looking for somewhere (preferably Pattaya) that sells speed and distance monitor as I'm training for the Bangkok Marathon.

Many thanks.

Can't give you a local source, but I wound up buying a Garmin 205 from Amazon.com. Their price including shipping was a lot cheaper than any place in Bangkok or Singapore that I was able to find.

BTW, the watch is cool without a doubt, but I'm not all that sure that it's a more effective training aid than wearing a Timex Ironman and running X minutes away from home and then running back. I'm pretty much a believer in doing leisurly runs thoughout the week to establish your base and getting the speed from going to a track and doing intervals once per week. Precisely how fast and how far the liesurely runs are isn't the most important thing in the world.
