The Where Can I Get An X In Bangkok Thread

[HalfSquat]

I'm after a few things so thought I'd do a more general where can I find thread. Hope that is ok.

First up I am after a new strap for my watch. Unfortunately the strap is made from a dull silver colour and I can't seem to find any in that colour. The watch is a Seiko. Anyone know of a Seiko 'dealer' that could order me one or a watch strap seller that has dull silver coloured straps?

Next up, could anyone recommend a tailor where I could get a fitted shirt done? Or am I better off getting one from a shop off the peg? Any ideas how much a tailored one would cost?

Thank you for your time.

Exceptional quality fitted shirts max US $25 but on average should be US $10 to $15 max depending on material and style.

I have the button up dress shirts made with chinese collars for about US $12 each in a good solid white fabric that presses good

[HalfSquat]

Sounds good. Can you recommend somewhere?

Black shoelaces!

Was in Carrefour Onnut on the weekend, 800 pair of black shoes, only brown shoelaces. Went to the Bata in the same mall. 400 pair of shoes, no shoelaces. Only polish.

Thinking of going to flip flops soon.

Also after a dressing gown/robe but one made of thin cotton like that used in a t-shirt for less than 1000thb.

Only polish.

...I bet it was black polish - very difficult to find brown.

It goes good with the brown laces and brown shoes apparently.

Velcro is the way forward James.

The lack of shoelaces for sale in this country perplexes and disturbs me. Seriously!

I love to wear fitted shirts and pants as I have quite a small built and most of the clothes i get are either off shouldered or too loose. So I happen to try this tailor Jhasper Fashion as I saw that the clothes that they had made were of good slim fit to the body type. It turned out quite well...I made some shirts and pants there...

for tailors, have a read on this thread: http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/Tailor-Suit-...Bkk-t16196.html

for shoe lace : check the supersports store (not sure of name...but the sports shop inside Central department stores)

bathrobe: try Pratunam market (department stores will be more than 1000baht)

I think the shoes wear out before the laces.

What is X?

It's the letter after W and before Y. Don't worry, I haven't seen them for sale either but I hear they have discounts on the R at Toys R Us.

A decent hair cut where I don't come out with a Thai bouffant!

I found a good ressing gown/robe in MGK on one of the stalls for 600b.

In the throw away society of the 21st century it may be cheaper to buy a cheap watch & fit the strap to your Seiko.

For X's, or ex's, you can go to Soi Cowboy.

Good idea. Havent seen any with the same colour strap but will keep my eyes peeled.

Where is the best place to get the best prices on electronics? Kind of like an Argos which sells everything at ok prices?

electronics:

MBK

to some extent Pantip and Fortune tower - but mostly computers, only one or 2 camera shops...
