thaibeachlovers Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 If you want a waterproof one, just buy a good one from any stall/ shop selling them and waterproof it yourself, or do like most people ( at least when I did tramping ) do and use a big plastic bag inside it.

craigt3365 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 There's a sports store in the Outlet mall near Tesco Thepprasit. It's got an OK selection. Several stores in Central Festival, but in my experience, it's been hit and miss. Just don't get a knockoff. Yes, they are cheap, but fall apart quickly. I've been on trips and had them give in. Forcing me to look for alternatives while on the road. No fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kdrayong Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Some models from 'The North Face' come with a rain cover stored in an extra compartment. Maybe that's the kind you are looking for. I'm very happy with mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigt3365 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Champers: why do you need a waterproof bag? I traveled for a few years with my REI bag and only one time used a waterproof cover I bough for it. I did the backpacker route all over Asia. The bag as it was, was fairly waterproof. Never had anything get wet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money well spent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am happy to pay for good quality if it lasts me years. I use almost every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubascuba3 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 I think its better to buy one of those waterproof covers you can slip over if it rains. My Berghaus comes with one. They are £2 on ebay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickJ Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 I bought a Maxpedition sling bag in a camping shop at the Emporium in Bkk. Very well made. Will outlast me. Not in Pattaya I know. Just thought I would throw the name out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
