I've looked around Pattaya and am struggling to find a shoe shop that sells large size shoes, my shoe size is a UK 12, or 46. Whilst I manage to find flip-flops ok, just can't seem to find shoes or trainers. They seem to stop at UK size 11 (which I can understand - not many thai's with big feet!).

If anyone can offer some real advice on where to look it would be greatly appreciated! :-)

Used to get big sizes in good choice opposite the Bamboo bar/club in South Pattaya. Sometimes also in Central Festival Northpattaya, topfl. sports-shop, also in most Addidas Shops around town. Good luck. JL.

In the Outlet Mall next to Tesco Lotus on Sukhumvit, downstairs.

try FINDIG near the arch on the right up from police station at end of Jomtien beach road. I recently bought 4 pairs size 45.

Try Bata in Central Festival on Pattaya Beach. Reasonable prices not the usual Central rip-offs.

Central Festival, sports shop on 2nd floor, you need to look at the tags on each shoe to see what is in stock. I wear 47 and usually get them in the US from ebay.

Many thanks for all of the kind replies, I'll have a shopping expedition and visit the places suggested - I will report back here with my footwear findings!

clarks and hush puppies have a place in the outlet mall Theppasit, had a size 10 ew fit great but at 4500, ended up with a size 45 out of big c with velcro fasterner so a bit more space. interested to know if you find anywhere. used to be a size 9.5 uk but seems 9 years of shoes has but me over a 10.

Last time I needed shoes for my big feet, I went to Central Chitlom in Bangkok.

They carry the Clarke brand and had plenty to choose in my size.
