Socks yes Socks

[mcfish]

I turn to Thai visa in desperation and as a last resort to end my sockless state. The problem being Im a USA size 14 and generally have success in the 11-14 size bracket . However I have now officially visited every dept store in bangkok from MBK to Emporium and they are all exclusively "free size" socks which basically means a mens and I need XL

Im looking for low cut sports socks but in desperation have even considered 400bht silk socks but seriously who buys them at that price?

I even ordered from Ali Express what I was assured to be Vely big size only to receive a size mens...again

So where do the big guys here buy there socks from?

Have you tried Marks and Spencers.... they have a range of good quality mens socks. Not sure how big they go to however. Not cheap I admit but decent quality

Buy them from the US on amazon.com, you will surely find US sizes there.

If you find any socks in BKK (any size) that:

1) don't cut off your circulation and leave a big crease in your leg the end of the day

2) don't fall down over your shoes the 2nd time you wear them

3) hold up over at least 3 (preferably more) machine washings

4) their dye doesn't run and leave you with a psychedelic pattern on the 2nd wearing

5) don't cost more than the Thai minimum wage for a day

PLEASE post back and let us know where you found them.

HAHAHA thats funny ..but sadly its also true.

I have a new level of respect for the shop assistants trying with a large amount of force to stretch a 5 inch sock to 12 inches in a futile attempt to convince me

[impulse]

If it was a female shop assistant, I can understand.

They've been told that our winkies are 12" long so many times they actually believe that 5" is 12".

You just happen to have the opposite issue, and it throws them off.

Well she did say oooh why you so big? but I believe they say that about everyones feet around here

She liked you. She liked you.
