T-shirt Vendors
T-shirt Vendors
- Looking for a good T-shirt vendor in BKK?
- Take the BTS to Ratchathewi and head towards the bpratu nam (water gate), about a 10-15 minute walk. It's a big intersection with a bunch of malls, you can't miss it. On Petchaburi Soi 21 (which is across the street from IT City) there are a bunch of wholesale shirt shops, with pretty nice, and good quality shirts.
- T-shirt prices were: S - 50/M - 60/L - 65/XL - 75 and there were a variety of colors. There were also polos (nice ones, not thick and felt like cotton) and tank tops, but the picture I had of those prices got deleted. The shop that I went to also printed and charged 250 for a one color screen block, plus 15 per shirt (that price was dependent on the number of shirts printed, as they consulted a chart). I went to one of the first places I saw, it was called Indy Shop, and the shirt brand they had was called Forever. Here's their contact information from the card I got from them:
- Web site: www.indyt-shirt.com
- E-mail: indy_bobae@hotmail.com, indy_phatunam@hotmail.com
- Phone: 090-010-0073, 090-010-0037, 081-443-0708
