Gatorade Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 There used to be someone in Nathon who made hand-made shoes to order. Anyone know if he's still around and if so what is his location. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samui Coconut Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 I remember that guy as well, not sure where he moved to. There is a tailor/shoemaker opposite Swensen's in Chaweng, typical Nepalese guy, not sure how good he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BasementCat Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 I think there is one about 50 meters from Thai International Hospital (heading from main road to Chaweng beach, on the right side). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BottleBlonde Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Theres a place in Chaweng that i use for all my shoe repairs and he also makes shoes (not sure how good) but have always been happy with his repairs and very cheap too. Ladies re-heel 30bht, re-heel and re-sole 80bht. The shop is called Red Shoes and if you take the turning from the ring road at the traffic lights towards dog rescue, Daow market etc, the shop is approx 100m on the left hand side.

islandguy Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 In Nathon there is a shoe makers shop still. If you go down the middle street (where they have the Walking Street on Saturdays in the one way direction for cars all the way to the end, then turn right, it will be on your left. Easy to spot. Another way to describe the location is that when you enter the seaside street in Nathon coming from the South (Lipa Noi side), take the first right turn with a convenience store on the corner.

If it's the same guy I'm thinking of, he makes nice shoes, boots, belts , hats etc.......... Watch Gatorade coming out looking like a cowboy. PS, I forgot he makes leather helmets if you don't want the cowboy look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
