mike111 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Hi I'm thinking of getting a mountain bike. any suggestions where can I get one ideally around Jomtien? I'm not looking for anything flashy, just a basic no frills model to get around jomtien. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ungabunga Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Hi Mike, nearest to Jomtien i suppose is the shop on Thepprasit Rd near the entrance to Soi 8. Theres a couple others dotted around too. They sell some trade-ins and plenty of brands. Have to say though that my favourite shop is on the other side of town on Sukhukvhit Rd, along from Chaiyapornwitee Rd junction... Numchai, for many reasons but I suppose that may be a tad too far for you. If you need any help feel free ro Pm me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topt Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 (edited) Big C Extra, Tesco Lotus sell them. For a better selection there is a specialist bike shop on Suk near the turn off to Naklua - I know wrong direction for you sorry. There was a thread stated in 2010 but most recent posts were last year http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/332211-good-bicycle-shop-in-pattaya/ I see Ungabunga beat me to it.

mike111 Posted June 4, 2014 Author Share Posted June 4, 2014 tnx for the replies. I'm not looking for a high end model, just something basic to commute around. Do Tesco/big C sell adult size bikes? I thought they only carry kids models Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giddyup Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Saw some decent looking 26" models (8 speed) in Big C yesterday for less than 3000 baht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovetotravel Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Saw some decent looking 26" models (8 speed) in Big C yesterday for less than 3000 baht. My friend got one of those. Was a write off after only a few years. Everything on it is very cheaply made, and rusts easily. Best to spend a few extra baht and get a better model. Numchai has a very good selection of quality bikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThaiBob Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 tnx for the replies. I'm not looking for a high end model, just something basic to commute around. Do Tesco/big C sell adult size bikes? I thought they only carry kids models I would visit the shops on Thepprasit as already mentioned, there are several of them. I would avoid Big C/Tesco because they will not provide aftermarket service, and let's face it you will need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. I believe it's further down Sukhumvit near the Bangkok turnoff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigt3365 Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 It's past Bangkok Pattaya Hospital on the way to Chonburi. The next light after BPH is the road that goes towards the water department, Soi Nongprue. Go past that and make the next U-Turn, they are on the left just before you get back to Soi Nongprue. Right near/under the pedestrian overpass. There is another bike shop a bit further towards Soi Nongprue, but it's a smaller shop. There is parking in front of the store, off the street.

The same one as mentioned by Ungabunga in the 2nd post - but great directions! My gf bought a basic one there last year for just under 5k and that was not the cheapest they had. Great selection and very helpful staff who know what they are doing but maybe too far for the OP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
