Where to purchase a Burka in Chonburi?

[cloghead]

Does anyone know where/if these are sold in the Pattaya/Chonburi area? My wife has dragged me into hosting a costume party next week and one of her friends insists on wearing an outfit like this:

Thanks to anyone with a suggestion--it will get my wife's friend off my back

Careful. Some may find that very offensive.

Why? It's not a muslim thing, it's a cultural thing.

No different to dressing in a national costume.

There are lots of Muslim women wearing them along sois Nern Plub Wan and SSCC...must be shops in that area. Maybe have a wander around those sois.

Maybe best to send the gf/wifey as they would probably recoil at selling one to a man...and presumedly a non-muslim one at that.

Ask someone smoking shisha, they should know where to find one.

Never seen anyone wearing the meshed version in NPW but loads of thai muslims over on the darkside.I believe NPW was often refered to as soi muslim in the old days.Plenty of shops and everything else run by muslims over here and I find them a friendly bunch when you deal with them.

Soi VC behind WS many middle eastern. Try the tailor shops there, if they havnt got one, no doubt could make one within 24 hrs.

All you need is a sieve, a pair a scissors, an old sheet and a bit of sticky tape et voila.

Best not to wear at a party, everybody knows muslims do not drink, and if the smell drink the may think it is Chalerm in hiding.

OP opposite the first mosque travelling down Soi NPW from Suk Road is a shop that I believe sells the burka. From the poster who mentioned drinking, plenty of the local Thai Muslims drink alcohol.

I believe I saw the style of burka in the OP in a photo from rural Afghanistan. A burka available from a shop in Thailand may be a little more fashionably tailored but perhaps still serve for a costume party, for example something like this, still in the Afghan style.

You'll need to cut a hole for a straw….or a larger one if going right off the bottle.

My plan for Haloween last year was a burkha with a plastic AK47 and cardboard tubes wrapped in foil with wire and an alarm clock. Problem was I didn't know if the Arabs would laugh when they saw me… They tried to kill that Danish guy over a cartoon so maybe they lack a sense of humour.
