Thanks for the info. Yeah, tennis stuff here in BKK's pretty expensive.

For cheaper deals, for anyone comin' to BKK, you'd better let us know in advance what racket you want to get.
These days there's quite a tennis community here and we can get rackets from teaching pros sponsored by the various brands. Sometimes the prices may be about the same as those special "on sale" in the stores. Most of the time it's about 30% off the retail prices.
If you'd rather go window shopping, the stores mentioned above are fine.
Thanks Anirut!
i'm planning to go over the Bangkok in April, and i'll be serious about buying the RDS001, RDS002 Tour and RDIS100 racquets - and to find yonex accessories such as dampeners and grip band which is not available in my country
i last went to Bangkok half year ago and brought a RDS001 Midplus from Supersports for $4500 baht(on sale), it was a steal and easier 30% cheaper locally

i'm actually going to Pattaya for 2 days(tennis retreat) before going over to Bangkok for 3 days(shopping spree) - so would like to check with you whether their is any tennis outlet at Pattaya?
I know there is a factory outlet for apparel over there
Anirute, where do you play/teach? I play casually in my 'mooban' but the coaches there aren't sponsored. Do you play at Franks?
thanks Anirut, i'm planning to go in April.
Sorry for reviving this thread again - i thot it'll be good info for anyone who wants to buy yonex tennis stuff in Bangkok, i have been all the places(except showroom) before and tennis accessories is really must cheaper there
1) Yonex showroom in Bangkok
http://shopping.centralworld.co.th/CW/en/detail.asp?id=129
2) Sport Marketing (beside National Stadium & opposite Tesco Lotus Building)
3) First Sport (beside National Stadium & opposite Tesco Lotus Building)
4) Parrot sporting goods (beside National Stadium & opposite Tesco Lotus Building)
5) Supersports retail chain available in Central Chilom and other major shopping centers in the central district
Whoa ... I don't teach but happen to know some sponsored TPs. I don't play at Frank's as I live in the Thonburi area (west side of the river). Where do you live, though?
In fact, there're a number of TT-ers here in BKK, like Shintan17, SunflowerHx, PaulFreda, Alafter. The should be more I guess.
I, Shin and Jason (Sunflower) are planning for a drink sometime this month to celebrate a belated new year. You can report in at my forum: club.tennisenjoy.com -- it's a bi-lingual forum (if you can call it that ... haha)
2-3 they sell only badminton racquets
4 have less than 7 tennis racquets in their shop
I'd prefer Chansport and Sportnova that located near by 2-4 shop. They sell dunlop, prince, wilson, babolat, volkl, head, boris becker.
My cousin actually lives up in Bangkok and i might be coming over during summer time. How are the prices up there in USD, because the USD has become a tad bit weaker in the last couple years.

Hey Anirut, I'll be travelling to BKK next week and wondering if you could kindly help to point out where I could find good deals for Dunlop and Wilson racquets? I'm desperately looking for a Wilson PS Tour 90 which I can't find anywhere. Also looking to buy a Dunlop 4D or AG 100 too.
Thanks so much.
OP, you need to change your title to this...
Outlet stores in Krungthepmahanakhon Amornrattanakosin Mahintharayutthaya Mahadilokphop Noppharat Ratchathaniburirom Udomratchaniwetmahasathan Amornphiman Awa-tarnsatthit Sakkathattiyawitsanukamprasit
Yeah sad it is.. The PS Tour is the best racquet I've ever hit with among all the 85-90 inch heads I've played.
Appreciate the offer but doubt I'll be keen on the Bio 100.
In any case, I didn't know one could measure racquet condition up to 4 decimals..
Hi Anirut,
I was looking for a Wilson BLX Six-One 95 the 309 gr model. They were on sale at Supersport but no 43/8. I live in Pattaya but travel to BKK often.
Forget the outlets -- I am fond of Beer Garden. ;-)
Hi Eric.
It's sad that it's really difficult to find 4 3/8 grip here in Thailand. May be if I drop by some branches of the store, or any stores that has the model, I'll give things a look to see if they have the grip size.
I'd think it'd be better if you can PM me and we can exchange phone numbers so I can call if I see anything.
I've me Paul too, and that was ages ago, before the Silom Club in BKK was torn down. Just dropped you a mail.
Hi anirut, i work and play tennis in Pattaya and i'm interested in looking at a "Wilson Blade 98 BLX Gold" but it may have too high a swing weight for me (335). Do you know if this stick is available in Bkk??
http://www.tennis-warehouse.com/Wilson_BLX_Blade_98/descpageRCWILSON-BLXB98.html
Haven't visited the stores in ages. I remember seeing it at the Thailand Open and it was "on sale" then. May be I'll ask on a Thai forum to find out more.
There will be wilson clearance sale, about 65% off for blade line.
And the pink blade special price will be around 1900thb each, gold blade aren't included.
My wife interviews for a job in Bangkok in 2 weeks. If all goes well, we'll be moving to Thailand in August next year!
Fingers crossed - I look out my window now and see nothing but snow....
Just got info. One guy's got it new for 3500. Another guy's got a near-new condition for 2900, 4-1/4 grip.
Let me know.
Wish her and you all the best! I'd be great to meet and play tennis together!
Where? I'm interested in the gold one as i'm not a lady
Hey man, good news!
Does new mean never used with plastic on the handle? Racket sleeve? Is is unstrung or strung?
Do you know where I can get leather handle grips in BKK to add some weight to the handle as I feel it will swing to heavy for me. I would want to add a leather grip under the regular grip and possibly an over grip too as i like 4 1/2 grips but i'm happy to build up.
Thanks
