    Best Place to Get Muay Thai Equipment?

    Does anyone have a recommendation as to where to mail order muay thai equipment within Thailand (a website would be great) that you've used and trust? I need gloves, wraps, etc.

    Any info would be much appreciated.

    I'll update this thread myself.

    There are several sites on the web, but, as usual, communication has been a real hassle- getting replies to basic questions has been next to impossible, and I don't feel too comfortable sending anybody a payment as the shipping service will probably be on par.

    I think I'm gonna wait until I head to Bangkok in a few weeks and search out a decent shop rather than going the mail-order route.
    There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.

    There are some great little (and large) shops around Bangkok and Pattaya that sell high quality Muay Thai and normal boxing gear. Local brands are export quality too: Windy; Twins; Fairtex; etc.
    Like you say, its usually best to check it out personally, as no one seems to bother checking their emails here.

    I actually got a reply after 5 days (and this was from a place with a full-on internet shopping cart deal, not a cheap website- ridiculous to make a potential customer wait so long)- I had already found a supplier elsewhere.

    My wife found a guy who deals exclusively with Fairtex gear- I got a pair of BGV9's for hitting the bag and pads and a pair of BGV5's for sparring at way better prices than anyone else could offer (though I have to wait a while as all orders are custom and the Songkran holiday slows everything down).

    I thought I would update this thread as I got all my stuff today (It took a while as the factory closed for Songkran and the gloves I wanted were back-ordered, and I also wanted a backpack that was tough for him to obtain).

    I highly recommend this guy (he will only ship within Thailand- he speaks some English, and also has a shop at Chatuchak Market):

    Fairtex Chatuchak Pro Shop

    I was only interested in Fairtex equipment- I don't know if he can get other brands.

    His prices were significantly lower than any other place I could find on the web.
