The Dancer Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Good belts made of genuine leather are not easy to find. Compressed cardboard, imitation leather, leather coating, painted plastic, there's umpteen ways to fake leather. What I do is take a cow with me. It's not that hard. A small one can squeeze into the back of a cab. Then at any shop when they give me one to try I take it out to the cow. If it rears up like it's been bit by a bee I know for sure the belt's the real thing. It used to be easy to find a cow to rent in Bkk years ago. But the last time I bought a belt I had to actually fetch one from a dairy farm up in Korat. But it was worth it. I got me a genuine leather belt for 300b.

xen Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 I have buying belts from a nice lady who has a belt stall outside Big C in On Nut for quite a few years. I always buy those titled elephant hide belts even though they are not elephant hide. For 400 thb they are pretty good value and she will change buckles for you if you want a different style.

redwing777 Posted May 10, 2015 Author Share Posted May 10, 2015 Bangkok, one of the shopping centers of Asia and he wants to know where to buy a belt, troll for sure I'm asking for opinions on where I can find a GOOD belt. If you read my op you'd see the last one I purchased will not hold up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maisodni Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 An-An Leather - five meters into Sukhumvit Soi 1, on the side closest to Ploenchit. It is the first building on the Soi, on the West side of the street. Second choice: Unkown named shop on second floor(floor above ground level) of Ploenchit Center (Sukhumvit and Sukhumvit Soi 2), on West side of upward escalators.
