Replica Football Shirts....ideas Please

[PostmanPat]

Going back to UK in a couple of weeks and my football mad eight year old nephew has asked me to get him a couple of replica shirts (Barcelona, Arsenal etc). Now, I know the knock off copies are widely available in the night bazaar, but frankly the rudeness and agression you get from many of the stall holders there leads me to want to go elsewhere in Chiang Mai.

Can anyone point me towards other locations where I might be able to pick up such items without running the night bazaar gauntlet, which to be honest scares me a bit these days!!

I guess its OK for tourists, but not for me thanks!!

Thanks in advance for assistance.

Try the old center around the moat on the west side.

Close to the south west corner.

Good luck.

Check that he still wants Barcelona

Robinsons, Airport Plaza in the sports section. 3rd floor ? Not cheap but maybe discounting Arsenal and Barcelona stock while Man United have probably sold out

He still wants Arsenal doesn't he. Clearly he's not just a fair-weather kind of fan, but showing some gritty stubbornness.

I think you'll find what you're looking for in the Night Bazaar.

Just the shop next to McDonalds, as easy as can be.

Free car/bikepark behind (just show parking ticket at McDonalds counter they put a stamp on it for free parking no need to order anything)

Why do difficult if one can do it easy.

Rudeness and agression? I wonder where you've been?

The main problem is that if you have no idea what things cost - true for the majority of tourists - they'll quote you 3, 4, or even 10 times the fair price. But they're not really driving a hard bargain at all, when I name what I know is a fair price and then just leave, they will usually agree to the fair price rather than see me leave. Just never stop smiling; but you know that already right.

Trying to buy knock off Shirts and a fair price just don't seem like they go together.

Next thing you know he will be looking for better quality than the real ones.

this has to be a low for TV

Looking for another place to buy knock off shirts because you will not be treated with the respect you feel you are due in buying a knock off.

How much respect is that to the teams. They do not play knock off football.

Non knock off are a rip off.
