Anyone have the address of a gun shop in Pattaya?

Never heard of a gun shop here but maybe this link will help?

Real gun shop

If you ask in the Outdoor Shop in the same mall as Big C in north Pattaya, they may be able to advise you.

There used to be a few true gun shops in Chinatown in Bangkok way back when but I have never seen one in Pattaya. The legitimacy of a foreigner owning a gun has not been mentioned here but if you were thinking of buying one that should be looked into. The Utapao Naval Shooting Range has handguns that can be rented for use there and they should be able to tell you about ownership if that is what you wanted.

My information is that foreigners can get gun licences but it's not an easy process. The best option is for the wife to get a licence and then apply yourself on the back of that. I also understand that a foreigner can use his wife's gun in defence of her and her property at home. Foreigners can join and practice at gun clubs without a licence.

I already own guns and they are legal. I need ammo to go to the shooting range but there is no gun shop in my province. I am in Pattaya for a few days so I tried to get some bullets while I am here.

The range may be able to sell you some ammunition.

Plenty of gunshops in Bangkok .there 4 in korat.I have A personal friend that owns one of them.About A mile or so from the mall.Same main highway opposite side of the highway.

None in Pattaya go Bangkok

I believe you need to be on a blue tabien baan, i.e. have permanent residence, which makes sense when you consider that all other foreigners are only temporary residents. So what happens to the gun when they suddenly leave Thailand? You also need a job and letter of employment.

Shops are more likely to be in Chonburi as it is the provincial capital.
