Woody1 Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Dear members, I was hoping you might be able to recommend the best outdoor clothing outlets (for trekking (no, not Star Trek)) in Pattaya. Type of things wanted / needed (good quality) are backpack, sleeping bag, fleeced jacket, weatherproof trousers, boots, socks, gloves, hat, etc. Before the wise cracks come flooding in, no they are not for use in Pattaya. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Osborne Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 The big sports shop on the 2 nd or 3rd floor ? in Central has some North Face stuff. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigt3365 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Not many options in Pattaya. You can also try the outlet mall on Suk near Tesco. There is a big sports store there with some items. A trip to Bangkok might be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OMGImInPattaya Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 The big sports shop on the 2 nd or 3rd floor ? in Central has some North Face stuff. Yes, they have winter clothing (for rich Thais who travel and maybe ruskies and Chinese too) from Northface and other brands. Aldo believe there is a timberland store in that mall as well (or royal garden). For my winter travel clothes, I order from ll bean when stateside... Best travel clothes around at half the cost of name brands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigt3365 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Fantastic. I did Annapurna Circuit several years ago. Brutally cold at the summit, but not bad otherwise. Have a great trip and make sure to break in your new boots! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
