PETDCAT Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whybother Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Go to a police station. I'm sure you'd be able to find someone to sell you something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayjay0 Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 4 what u want...toy section of most stores 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pikey Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

PETDCAT Posted January 30, 2011 Author Share Posted January 30, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomahawk Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 .....

jfchandler Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xen Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jez56 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 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.

FarmerJoe Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystwoodcol Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Are you going to post the pics or film you are making with the handcuffs? We look forward in anticipation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
