Sewing supplies, where?

[maderaroja]

Does anyone know where sewing supplies are carried in Chiang Mai and environs. I have tried Pinn, but they are most interested in knitting; don't have much in the way of sewing supplies.

[mizztraveller]

Loads and loads in and around Warorot market.

Not necessarily. No selections of buttons, ribbons, lace, thread, elastic, bobbins, etc.

Waroot Market has several shops that are loaded to the gills with all those things, my wife drags me to them coincidentally at least twice a year! I couldn't begin to give directions although the Chinese Temple is a near landmark.

Absolutely! Enter the market area by going under the Chinese Tori Gate spanning Chiang Moi road. Stay on the right side of the street. At the first corner you reach, there is a huge sewing shop on your right. Tier upon tier of buttons, every size, color and strength of threads, boxes full of bobbins, needles of every size and shape, elastic in half a dozen different sizes and colors... I've never needed lace so I can't address that item, but considering that they run three huge shops in the same general area, and have upper-floor lofts filled with store rooms, I've got to believe that they can handle your needs. I've never seen a shop anywhere with a greater selection! The owners are Indian-Thai, speak enough English to be helpful, and are nice folks.

There's a shop called Kul - 30 Chang Moi Tad Mai Road. If you can't find what you want in there, it doesn't exist! Tel no 053 233 833 or 053 233 318. There's another place just across the road with a fair selection too.

In English they write "Kul," but in Thai it's actually pronounced "Goon." Here's a streetview of their storefront. Keep in mind, though, you gotta be really skinny to get around in this jam-packed, crammed-full-of-all-kinds-of-notions-and-whatnots store. The clerks are very helpful and friendly.

Sorry, that is not correct.

Thank you for directions. I will attempt to find the location. Thanks.

In Thai, but google+ does a good job translating the web page if you can't read the Thai.

I know that it is an unusual attitude on my part, but one of the reasons that I came to Thailand was to get away from CHRISTIAN SALESMEN AND WOMEN WHO THINK THAT THE WORLD NEEDS SAVING!

How's about we don't try to maime people along the way for simply trying to offer help to your requested problem! And whilst at it, the link between the referral site and your personal problems was of your making. Think about it.

Your yelling is rude.

Your statement that what you want is not available In Warrote Market is off the mark,

There are many better places to avoid Christians so CM was not a very good choice for that run away.

We await your redeeming features. Welcome to the zoo.

My goodness, the OP's response to the offer to join the tour being organized by the CM Community Church certainly was unexpected. Thank you for your kind defense, Chiang Mai and Bill97.

Let's face it, Maderaroja, if you come onto a forum and ask where to go to locate sewing supplies, some of the offers for help are going to come from women. And when you're asking that question in English, some of the responses will be from Christian women. If you didn't want to hear from women or Christians, you should have specified that in your OP.

That being said, you're more than welcome to join the tour. Yes, the tour will start in the parking lot of the church's office. There will be women AND men in the group, but given the subject of the tour, I suspect it will be an overwhelmingly female group. Sorry. And I seriously doubt the subject of Christianity will ever be broached. They'll be too focused on where to find the buttons, ribbons, lace, thread, elastic, bobbins that are of interest to you. Plus other great stuff like spices, plastic goods, fabric, yarn, dried herbs, nuts, etc, etc.
