It is for a photo project, but I know that will not stop the self-styled comedians from chiming in. Thanks for any good suggestions.

Chang Klan Road night market. Finest quality of copies from china are available.

Go to a police station. I'm sure you'd be able to find someone to sell you something.

A shop where they sell army stuff?

Don't know why you want them but a police station might let you use a pair and maybe one of them for more authenticity. Just a thought.

Post the picture when you get it.

Heading away from Airport Plaza towards Sankamhaeng, just after you cross the river and opposite the Police HQ, there is a shop called Strong Man or Strong Arm - a police supplies shop. I don't know if they sell to "civilians" but you'd get a pair there I'd imagine.

Cheers,

Pikey.

IIRC another such shop is in the old city on Phra Pok Klao road, on the left just before Chang Puek gate going north. I believe Police here have to buy all their own equipment (including guns!) and it's quite freely available. Private security guards also carry them.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions,I will be heading to the Police supply store rather than toy store since authenticity will provide a stronger image.

Not for nothing but I borrowed a pair of official police handcuffs from a cop here and on a bet I broke them. Now I am pretty strong, but there is no way I could have busted a pair of Smith & Wesson or Peerless cuffs, although I have heard there are people who can do it. I believe the locals get their stuff from China, as another guy stated.

I had both pairs broken Peerless and S&W and not by a strong man ,,,, just get the links twisted and snap there done .... After that I went to hinge cuffs although un breakable all three are easly pickable with a straight pin . Not that this has anything to do with anything .....

OP, are you looking for the traditional chrome metal kind, or the leopard print fur-padded kind, for your "photo" project??

I suppose it's possible the Thai police might have both, considering the nature of their various business ventures.

You could ask the mod on TV who's aviator shows a pair of sexy legs in black high hills and a black leather whip.

Don't know about Chiang Mai but in Pattaya they are sold in any stall that sells knives, nanchuks, etc along Beach Road so maybe you can find a similar market stall in CM.

I'm a little taken aback by the immense knowledge of handcuffs being displayed here -- where to buy them, manufacturers' names, how easy or difficult each of them are to break, and so on. This is evidently very familiar ground to some of us.

It made me wonder whether there's any money to be made if I start up a Handcuffs Monthly newsletter, or a Friends of Handcuffs social club.

Don't know if you still need them, but I sell fur lined ones for 90 Baht each. Not too strong, but would work for photo work and what have you. You can P.M. if you are still interested.

Are you going to post the pics or film you are making with the handcuffs?

We look forward in anticipation.

I got these at a store between 3 Kings and Thai Airways building that someone suggested. Perfect for what I wanted.Thanks

Brought my own with me from Texas. Never know when you might need them.

I sell many types of novelty items. Things you can't find in Thailand's markets. I wholesale to other vendors.
