RON..With the Mich rep today. Cant remember when they stopped Genuine ones here At least six years +. Some Legal bullshit. Just copies now Mate.

and where do we get those ?

except ebay !

Cheers

I have found that " Tyre Plus " Uttaradit have them. They only showed me one which was white with a blue sash and around 5 inches tall.They may have other sizes but I didn't follow that up after they told me that the one I was holding costs 900 baht.

did it seem like a normal item that they had or did they have to go in the back and dig one up ?

and what sizes or colors ?

I would thing the real price for a fullsize one would be 400-500b as they are $30 on Ebay

I still like the one that wai's , I doubt that is an official one

Saw this on my travels so had to stop and have a chat with the guy.

The Michelin men are made of pretty stiff plastic in various colors and cost from 150Bt for the little 6in. ones to 750Bt for the big ones.

They don't come with internal light but can be put in for a bit extra.

After chatting to the guy and taking photos of his shop I felt that I couldn't go without buying something so bought a couple of the 150Bt one for the girls bycicles.

good find , does it look like he is making them or just buying ?

150b seems like a decent price that regular thais would pay for the small ones , how much were the biggest ones ?

and any contact info ?

thanks

"BKK Dreaming" It's only a small shop specializing in big truck add-ons. Lots of reflectors and colored flashing lights that annoy the average motorist.

They didn't seem to have a lot of Michelin Men, just what was on display outside an a couple inside on the counter. The price of the biggest was 750Bt.

"Ron19" If you travelling Southish on road No2 towards Saraburi the shop is on the left after the 3188, a few klicks before the 362 junction where Robinson is. Easy to miss if you're going a little fast.
