Football shirts

[neil324 0]

Anyone know where the best 'cheapest' place to buy football shirts is, where do the market traders get there stock from, i presume somewhere in Bangkok

[piero 1]

I found good choice in Pratunam BKK, about 150 bahts. in Pattaya you found a good choice too.

Where is Pratunam, what was the quality of shirts like

The football shirts for 150-200 baht are not proper copies, they tend not to have the makers brand name on. Have seen good copies in Mike,s shopping mall on beach road, pattaya, but they were 600 baht, although haggling will probably bring that down a bit.

Thanks, i know where to get good ones in pattaya, but im looking to find out where they sourch them from in Bangkok, want to cut out the middle man so to speak

The only way you shall cut out the middle man is by wasting lots of time and taxi fares in Bangkok. You shall then be dealing with the actual factory and being a non thai speaker who does not fully understand the various different grades of quality of these garments they shall see you coming all the way from Don Muang Airport And all this for a saving of around 70 baht a shirt (£1.00)

Far better to cut a bulk deal with a Pattaya trader who shall profit by a small amount per shirt for sales of 10 or more. Plus once you get them back to your hotel room and closely examine each one for stitching & spelling (I've seen England spelt Englan on a badge) you don't have far to go & exchange them.

I use a charming woman at the beach road end of Soi 13 opposite the AA Hotel, her name is Yung & her phone number is 018627985; she is 100% trustworthy and from memory i pay her around 260 Baht per shirt for excellent products which all of my customers here in the UK have been delighted with.

I just give her my order then a week later she calls meet me for payment! She goes to Bangkok, individualy picks them out, checks the quality, transports them to my hotel room then i pay her; Her commission is throughly deserved

Approaching the maufacturer may be a no-no. Being a farang they might well assume that you are a Copyright agency snoop. Penalties are horrendous i.e. loss of counterfeit goods and machinery, a hefty fine - and probably time too.

The man I got and get my football shirts if of a Thai guy called Woody, he is located on 2nd road just before u get to the "Smaller" Mike shopping mall. His lock up is directly opposite "Bobs's Boot Leather".

I think thats the same girl I use. She also gets me genuinely large shirts (Not "I have big for you"). I spoke to her this trip about Socceroo shirts, but no luck.

Why would anyone want to buy a copy when the originals are now cheap as chips in the UK ?

Super Sports stores have the England home shirt in all sizes for £11.

"Smaller" Mike shopping mall.

Where would that be?

 

I thought there was only one mikes!!

 

Do you mean the back entrance that is on 2nd road?

 

[ranger 0]

farman, if you turn onto 2nd road from south pattaya road heading north you come across a smaller mikes.

Agreed, the market for football shirts has gone for the most part. Other stuff makes good coin though.

Remember if you get a customs search at a UK airport & you have counterfeit goods, they will take the lot off you (Including the shirt on your back & the watch on your wrist) & destroy it.

 

Up to you!

[Hub 203]

One of the guys in Made In Thailand shopping market has them for 250 baht apiece. They come with the full package from the manufacturer (i.e., tags, promo materials).

 

Have bought these several times and every time have had good responses, including a nephew and a client of mine that play/played professionally and have been to UK many times and bought shirts there also.

What a load of Bollocks; Three times Her Majestys Customs have approached me at Heathrow to ask about the contents of my suitcase! I always tell them the truth & that i am in possesion of twenty or so footy shirts for the lads in the pub. They take a look, confirm what i say is true and i am on my way shirts intact and no fine to pay.

[hillbilly 81]

i had a bag with 55 football shirts seized 2 years ago, got an official warning and given seizure papers. i would say its pot luck who the custom officer is. it does happen and they can fine you , but its highly unlikley for 40 shirts

[Barrington_Tenchanall 2]

post the fuckers back to yourself, 5/10 at a time.

 

Never lost any yet.

[sinbinjack 261]

I still feel that the best deal is to be had at the tuesday/friday market where the bloke who sold me 2 shirts for my son charged me 180 baht with a promise of 140baht if I bought 10 or more. just look and barter
