ThaiPauly Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 See the current thread about Mae Sai in Burma. I have seen for myself quality biker gear at very low prices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sansai Sam Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 I haven't found one in Chiang Mai but if you happen to be in Mae Sai they opened one just across the border in Tachilek. They sell original and copy gear and the prices are good on both compared to Chiang Mai. They carry jackets, helmets, pants, gloves, rainsuits, boots and all kinds of accessories. If you're interested let me know and I will give the best directions I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidgtr Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 (edited) I haven't found one in Chiang Mai but if you happen to be in Mae Sai they opened one just across the border in Tachilek. They sell original and copy gear and the prices are good on both compared to Chiang Mai. They carry jackets, helmets, pants, gloves, rainsuits, boots and all kinds of accessories. If you're interested let me know and I will give the best directions I can. I have recently been to Tachilek but did not see the M/C shop. I would also be interested in directions . Walk into Myamar across the bridge Turn right & go down the steps At the bottom of the steps, Turn right & walk towards the River Turn left into the first lane Its on the right hand side Jin Chen Fa If you know where Scorpion Music CD shop is, then it is before Scorpion. There's good photos & more info on GT Rider here There's a lot of good gear, but usually only Asian sizes, so if your a bigger older grey haired fart like me, then you won't always find something in the right size. You can get legit Alpinestars Mesh Jackets for 4,500 baht that sell for 9-10,000 baht in Bangkok & Chiang Mai. You can also get crap copy ones for 1,500 baht. Legit Alpinestars gloves for 1,500 baht, in the USA US$200+. Some good boots too. Take your time in the shop, they have a storeroom elsewhere & can fetch bring in other sizes. But for me more often than not, nothing fits quite good enough. Oh yeah in Chiang Mai try Piston Shop. Fast Corner at Panthip also has quite a bit,but not cheap.

sticklee Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Just west of Mae Ping hotel, north side, is a shop with a large helmet selection out front. They carry Scoyco brand, made in China, jackets. Good selection under 3000THB. Very happy with mine. Also have a wide selection of gloves and leg protection. There is a catalog you can select from and they seem to have all in stock and have XL sizes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sansai Sam Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Very good directions. Just note that when you turn left into the first lane it is about the fourth shop on your right..long before Scorpion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
