HTWoodson Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 I'm making a trip down to Pattaya from Chiang Mai this week, just for a day. I'm wondering if there are any shops in Pattaya that sell quality motorcycle protective gear, like jackets and riding pants. I'm hoping to find some Alpinestars gear. Thanks.

LukDod Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 You'd have better luck and find more selection in Chiang Mai than in Pattaya! I'd suggest you shop for equipment in BKK for greater selection and better prices. Paddock has a large section of equipment as does Red Baron. A list of various BKK shops can be found here: http://www.geocities.com/bkkriders/shops/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HTWoodson Posted March 29, 2009 Author Share Posted March 29, 2009 What a great link, thanks LukDod. Chiang Mai has a Fast Corner, nothing else, and they only stock sizes that fit skinny Thai guys. I'm heading to BKK too, just thought there might be some places in Pattaya because there are so many big bike owners in the city. Thanks again for that link.

Thaifan2 Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Nobody wears protective gear in Pattaya ( its too hot ) .I have a full face helmet but its like being in a furnace wearing it .The same with wearing my European leather jacket . Bangkok as said is your best bet . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HTWoodson Posted March 31, 2009 Author Share Posted March 31, 2009 Thank you for the advice. Will check out BKK tomorrow. I'm in Pattaya right now, and this is not hot. Pattaya is breezy and cool compared to up north. Take a trip to Chiang Mai this time of year and you'll appreciate how pleasant the weather in Pattaya is.

barrybike Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 not many go for that protective gear you mentioned in pattaya as most of the big bikes there are harleys or custom choppers.......bangkok would have a way better range as to what your after Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGW Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 The hottest place on earth? Asoke\Sukhumvit traffic lights mid April, riding a V-Max that is hot so the fan is running, waiting 10 minutes along with about another 250 bikes for the lights to change, wearing a full face helmet and protective clothing! Red Baron had some good hot weather gear in last month......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
