Does anyone know where you can get iron on patches in Bangkok? Not the decorative type but the plain type used for mending a hole. I have a favorite pair of dark linen pants that has a small hole near the crotch (caught on sharp bicycle seat edge) that could easily be covered up by one of these and would be undetected.

somewhere in the 1950s

Anywhere in Prathunam markets you can get invisible mending done. The iron on patches will not last in that section of pants. Too many stress sections from all directions.

Must be a hard life if you can't afford new ones

I can well afford to buy new pants-I choose not to and prefer to try to salvage a favorite pair that I had bought this year on one of my trips abroad.

Sorry about the comment. In my country only poor people use patches

I can't afford a car my new pants are too expensive.

Ahhhhhh maybe should buy cheaper pants then i recommend MBK have a good selection

Thanks for the advice i will have a look.

Thanks for reminding me of these, last time I looked for some in my storeroom, that the wife cleaned up, rearranged, etc, so I can't find a <deleted>' thing, I couldn't find my small stock of patches either.

However, I'm back in Oregon for a few days, and just dashed out to the local Rite Aid shop and bought a set of 10 2"x3" varied colored darkish patches for $2.29. Less than losing a baht 10 coin if you get a hole in your pocket that's too large, or the fabric's too weak, to be taken care of by a stapler. Hey, have I been a bachelor in a prior life or not???

Let me know if you want a set or three of these, might be cheaper over at Fred Meyers and will be going there later. I'll be back to the LoS over the weekend.
