Outdoor Clothes

[The Coder]

Where are places to find ordinary outdoor clothes suitable for doing manual labor outside? Basically farmers clothes, long sleeves for sun protection, hats, gloves, that sort of thing. Bonus question: any places worth a look for camping type stuff?

Camping stuff? There's a so/so place on the bottom floor of Fortune Tower, underneath the BigC, not exactly Mountain Equipment Co-op like back home but they have most basics. A Mountain Equipment specialty place would do well here I'd wager.

Used to be a decent place in Ploenchit Center opp Marriot but they're renovatiing the bldng and not sure if the place remained??

Must be other places I'm not aware of. Will read others suggestions with interest.

Well, Siam Discovery has a North Face outlet with some camping basics too. Prices for what they carry are heavily marked up however. I don't need any expensive to begin with imports like that. Just lookin for everyday stuff to get the job done.

Somebody posted a link to this place a while back: Adventure Equipment Asia which claims to be in Bangkok and seems to list some reasonable equipment. I never looked into the place, so cannot say it is actually any good or not.

I have often seen basic camping stuff for sale in Carrefor. Tents, sleeping bags and foam rolls etc. Worth a look I'd say.
