where to buy good quality hiking boots in the south?

[Greeen]

My hiking boots are wearing out and I need to replace them soon so I can break them in for a long,long trekking trip in a couple of months time

Are there any large shopping malls with a Supersports or Sports World shop in Surathani city, Nakorn si Thammarat or maybe Hat Yai that stock top brands like Merrell or North Face?

Thanks!

There is a north face in central fes' Hat Yai, there is another camping shop by Diana, we also have 3x super sports .. I'm sure there are other places that I can't think of at the moment. Take a look at any central festival - if it's north face your after.

If your in the south and can't find what your looking for here it's sometimes just as easy to head further south to Penang where they may have different distributors than Thailand.

Also there are small mail order sites / Facebook pages / boards that are in Thai language where you will find small indie suppliers of Merell or Columbia ( I guess they come from the factories in Vietnam )

Suratthani, Central Festival has a Super Sport. They stock North Face I believe ?
