Normally it’s quite difficult to get hand on decent outdoor equipment in South East Asia. But in Bangkok I found a place with several (!) shops selling various equipment. The shops are all in the Outdoor Unlimited Zone on the 2nd floor at the Amarin Plaza. Following shops are there:
- Bike Zone; everthing for cyclists
- Function Marine; marine products
- Climbing Factory; climbers heaven
- K-Trade; This shop sells the finest outdoor gear incl everything from Ortlieb, the best waterproof bags for motorcycles and bikes.
- Mermaids Dive Center; everything for diving
- Equinox; another outdoor shop
- Pro Cam-Fis; Outdoor Clothing
- Gadgetrend; GPS, flashlights and many more gadgets
The Amarin Plaza can be found right next to the BTS Chitlom Station.

I was also there recently, and had read your post beforehand.
So can I add for other readers:
*Terminal 21 (Asok BTS) there is an Oakley shop with good range of Keen sandals (and a less extensive good range of shoes and boots)
*Decathlon stores (there are 6+ and not so easy to get to. Nearest to tourist Bangkok is a short taxi/ bike ride from Phrom Phong or Klong Toei. Ask to go to the Tesco Lotus Extra at Rama IV.
They stock a wide range of equipment for fishing, cycling, sports, hiking etc. The shoes, bags and clothing is mainly by Quechua. I was quite impressed.
Hi everyone,
Anyone know if you can get snake gaiters in Bangkok?
