No replies in the Bangkok forum, so I hope to get some leads from a wider readership here!

I need a pair of custom made boots like this pair, made in BKK (preferably)

In the UK they are called Jodhpur boots, in Aus, Stockman's boots

Any leads gratefully received.

7 years now & no shoes, due to injury...

Tally Ho!

If you take a walk through Tourist Town, you will certainly find a few places. To the best of my recollection there is Chao Phraya Bootery, on Silom Road in the Patpong area. And on Suriwong Road, you will find Tony's, at the corner of the little stub soi that leads in to the Post Office (north of the Bangkok Christian Hospital).

I am sure that these places will make you anything that you want, especially once they see the colour of your skin.

I am less familiar with the Sukhumwit portion of Tourist Town, but I am sure that there must be such places there too.

Thanks, I know about Tony's and his over the top prices.

I've lived here 10 years.

What is "Tourist Town"?

Never heard of it, or did you just make it up?

Note: PM rec'd, thank you.

If you fancy a trip to Pattaya, I know a place. My old man got some made and was well impressed...

^ I don't mind, Ace.

What did your dad order?

My left foot is permanently swollen, so I need two different sized boots made by a professional.

He had copies made of shoes he brought from the UK, end result perfect and he stated infact they were better than the originals...quality wise. Thats why he got 2 pair. I think he paid around 1200thb per pair.

No worries regarding the issue with your left foot, they would make whatever style and alterations you would need. There are many places here, I am just commenting on one particular one near where I live.

Surely though they must be some in BKK? Have you tried the area around Seacon Square?

If you do head to Pattaya though Im sure you'll get what you need.

I think my Dad had to wait 2-3 days.

1200 bt is very cheap, are you sure?

12 thousand baht?

I'd rip his hand off at 1200bt.

Address please m8?

Someone else has the same problem as me.

Thanks again.

Im looking for some timberland boots, but they went out of business recently, anybody know where i can find a nice pair in bangkok?

^ Start a New Topic in the BKK forum.

I know of a cobbler out in the Phrakanong area of BKK. He mostly makes the basic black colored dress / casual shoes. Prices are sure to be cheaper than in the Sukumvit or Silom areas. I'm not certain if he could make exactly what you want unless he had an example though.

Anyways, the shop is located on the left approx 150 to 200 meters along Soi Predi Phanomyong 2 when going from Sukumvit Soi 71. I used to live out there and he has done some cycling shoe repairs for me before, until I discovered that the local street cobblers could do the same kind of work. Haven't been back there in about 2 years.

Another suggestion is a leather / boot shop that I have seen near the main beer bar area in Hua Hin.

Best of luck in your search!

That's 3 good leads, albeit not all in BKK but within a reasonable ride.

Thanks Tiger.

Definatley....not 12grand.

Under 2000THB. The Guy is located on Soi Khao Talo if you are familar with the area?

No, but I have G-maps.

Gimme a lead.

2000 s still very cheap........ I can't wait. Lol
