thewhites1212 Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Hi Im looking for Bangkok manufactuers for food items/unbranded clothing/flipflops etc.. Any ideas on the best places to research or find Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afarang Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Two places for non-food items are (1) BoBae market in Krung Kasem Road, a short tuk-tuk ride from Hua Lumphong Railway Station .This is the major wholesale market for all clothing for Thai shops and market stall holders.(2) Sampeng Lane , in Chinatown, for the largest range of other Wholesalers of many different products. Sampeng lane is off Yaowarat road and is some kilometres long. Amazingly crowded,All the time. Both are open from about 10.00 or 11.00 to about 20.00, 7 days a week. ALL are closed for 1 week ,for Chinese New Year. For food items ,you will need to contact individual manufacturers.Happy Hunting, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afarang Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Oh dear ,I have been out of Bkk. for about 12 years now.Forgotten the bus numbers( 2 buses needed).Best suggestion is for your first visit, take a taxi from Victory. For Bobae. For Sampeng , get yourself to Hua Lumphong railway station and walk, not far ,about 1 kilo, or take any bus going through Yaowarat which is a one way road, and get off about 5 blocks up Yaowarat and walk down any lane to Sampeng. If getting to Hua Lumphong is convenient for you, you can also get to Bo Bae easily from the Railway Station. just Take a Taxi or tuk-tuk from Hua Lumphong ,It is quite close. All taxis and tuk-tuks are very familiar with both places. Hope this helps,Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BKKdreaming Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 where are you going to sell it ? If in the west its smart to bring samples for sizes , as Thai sizes run small and T-shirts shrink when washed. BK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afarang Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Bkk.-BoBae is and has been for many years Export Oriented. It does as a matter of course , stock "larger" sizes. So, many outlets can supply "western sizes".Interestingly, the major export market is with the Russians, who have been buying there for many years.
