Hello. Im travelling soon to Bangkok and i would like to make football jerseys for my team. Any ideas where this is possible? I need atleast 40 jerseys (home / away) and printed logo in front and number in the back. Im seeking high quality and reasonable price. I don't have too much time there for searching, only three weeks so any help and ideas would be nice. Thank you.

I print up shirts for our local Hash House Harriers running/drinking club. If it's plain cotton T-shirts you are looking for as the raw material for printing up then get the shirts from Pratunam clothing wholsesale/retail area. There are not that many shops that sell many different colours of plain T-shirt in all sizes and they tend to move around a bit, so I'm afraid all I can suggest is spending an hour or so trawling Indra Square wholesale/retail clothing mall - a large multi-storey building a block southeast of Bayoke 2 Tower (see attached file).

Best place I ever found in there was 18 months ago on the 2nd Floor (Room E189-190), but the only times I have been back since was on a Sunday when many of the 2nd floor shops were closed. The phone number I had was 087 1116341087 1116341087 1116341 and the business name Manga. For plain T-shirts with many different colour options they would do a mixed size package of 50+shirts for prices ranging from 65 baht small to 100 baht XL. Higher prices for smaller total orders. In the absence of refinding it I have been buying at another shop that is even harder to define for you at the back of the ground floor of a smaller clothing mall (see map in attached file) but only sells white. Prices there for individual shirts run 80 baht to 120 baht and ask for a 10% discount for more than 5 shirts (try 20% if more than say 25).

I am sure that Manga or some other T shirt supplier in one of these two clothing malls who can give you a place to have them printed up. I never needed that in Bangkok - every amphur town in Thialand has at least one thta is widely known to locals (or ask in a local sportswear shop). Thais talk about this function as "skeen print" (skeen = screen). It will probably cost you about a 1,000 baht sunk cost to set up the screens (if you intend to reuse them - temporary screens that wiull do a one-batch print would be half this. Plain printing is about 20 baht a face, so 40 baht front and back plus 20 baht for an arm decal. More if complex design. Those are Isaan prices.

Good luck. Anyone got any alternatives? I would be happy to hear of other standbys for own use. I'm sure Chatuchak must have a plain T-shirt supplier in there somewhere.
