P-

Sorry to hear about that… it’s been ages since I’ve been to the Sport Marketing co.

Thanks for the heads up.

Hi All, just got back from Thailand and had to come online to give you a heads up about this shop called ’sport marketing co’. Based on this thread and reviews i went out of my way to come to this shop and buy some gear, still a geat thread so thanks :) – i spent around 10,000 Baht at this shop! On that note I paid 1300 Baht for a pair of 16oz Twins dragon gloves which was after negotiation. Trusting this was a good deal i went for the whole lot. shops around Rajadomnem were doing the same gloves for 1800 Baht as a shelf price.

Anyway to cut a long story short this shop is nothing special at all – i went to a handful of shops around Lumpini stadium and the same gloves were 1100 as a shelf price – no negotiation and deff no need to spend 10000 baht! i was very gutted, dont make the same mistake i did!

A particular shop i recommend is right next door to Lumpini stadium – all products are at a great price, its very busy and very well stocked – if i could do it again i would much rather spend my money there. Its called TWINS SPECIAL CO LTD … they even have a decent website http://www.twinsspecial.com

enjoy!

Just got back from BKK. Found the shop with some friends and bought alot of shorts, gloves, ankle supports and linament. That whole area is a sporting goods district.

Glenn-

I don’t remember precisely, but I’m pretty sure I paid around $25. Remember though, I went with a couple of friends so we combined our order.

Hope this helps

Haggling seems to be a must when shopping in any 3rd world country. (Oh, and Suli should stop being a cheap bastard- he drives a CKL for Christ’s sake!)
