2Nd Hand Shop

[maccaroni man]

i have been off the island for a couple of months, i have a few bits i want to off load and went down to the 2nd hand shop in lamai but it is no longer there.

Did the shop move or did it close down? is there a second hand shop on the island?

cheers

Not aware of another shop, but surely a good idea for someone who has some time to spare. (and a little cash)

That is an old sign Big C, been there for years. Shop is being renovated for something else.

You also have the free classifieds:

Classifieds are the way to go, market in here isn't simply made for second hand as everyone keeps everything until it's totally broken, outdated or simply selling stuff because of going back home.

Aye, seen a number open and then close over the years. As you say, there is just no market for them to survive on.

They really should take that sign down, it's a real eye sore.......

Driving through Nathon on Sunday, I noticed there was a sign for a second hand shop, on the water front section of the one way system... about four or five shops down after the sharp turn.... on the right.....

Shutters were down, I assumed because it was Sunday... might be worth checking out?

The one in Maenam is still there, next to Samui Cable... near Soi 2/3 or is it Soi 1 ? I forget... along there, some where on water side...

I've not been in to see what sort of stuff they have...

Some of the "10 baht shops" are good for Bobs and Bits too!... there are three or four of them in Maenam!

There is a large 20 baht shop on the RHS just after you make the turn on to the airport road.

Most of the stuff is really good value, not high quality but same stuff in the supermarkets costs considerably more.

(There are things on sale for more than 20 baht, but still good value if they have what you need).

Remember to take your shoes off at the door to avoid a rollicking from the staff!

There is a genuine second hand shop in Maenam, it is also a pawn shop so most things a fairly new, the owner joe speaks good english. The shop is next door but one to the samui tv cable office. There is a second shop he owns in Chaweng just before the trafic lights before Tesco, on the left.

There is only 1 set of traffic light just before Tesco so that would be coming from Lamai. The light's in Bophut are 4km away that's not just before Tesco.

I did not mention the lights at Bophut.

Please read post 19 if I'm not mistaken.

[Rooo]

Please stop with the bickering.It does get tiring. He only offered the lights at Bophut as a guideline, he didn't say 400 or whatever meters from there.He said if you are coming from that direction it's on your right.

Put it to rest please.

[samuijimmy]

Here you guys go, now stop the bickering ....you're getting Rooo upset

I stopped in just to take a boo, mostly a lot of old drills in there... a fridge, a freezer, a number of cameras, a few computers and monitors, and a few bobs and bits!... oh and a big motorbike too!

It is between Soi 2 and Soi 3 ... so on opposite side of Angela bakery.... and towards Soi 3....or Nathon! .... The sign is clear enough!

Next to the gold shop and near Samui cable TV, as I said before!

There is another second hand shop in Nathon, some where,???

I tried to spot it on way through but did not see it...I think on the waterfront on the one way system ... ?

Thanks Jimmy, you must get the one at Chaweng too, must make people happy.

Not spotted that one,... you can do that!

I just happened by, on my way to get my bread from Angela's, I ain't making a special trip to Chawang! ... It's hard to park!

For shoes there is a big second hand shop near opposite (towards Tesco, perhaps 200m) the ring road Chaweng post-office. Great if you`re returning back to homeland during winter and own just a pair of sandals
