Hello everyone,
Finally arrived back in Hua Hin in time to miss the Canadian winter.
I am planning to do some all day snorkelling trips , both in Thailand and also in Bali, and I would like to buy a thin lycra body suit to protect me from getting sunburnt since I will be in the water for 4-5 hrs at a time. (pic attached). One with a hood would be my first choice, but if no hood that is ok too.
Does anyone know where I can buy this in Hua Hin? Any idea of what it might cost? I dont need a super fancy one, just something I can use for a few weeks and then give away before I leave the country.
Thanks for any info you can provide.
Cheers
Darren

You could try a kitesurfing shop, I think there's one in the area opposite Market Village but I forget exactly which street it's on.

Hi Steve,
Never thought of those types of shops. I will look for the shop when I go to Market Village tomorrow.
Thanks

I have had 6 suits made. Mike tailors is by a country mile the best. You get what you pay for.

Try the KBA kitesurfing shop, near the beach on soi 75/1, across from Bangkok Hospital, on the beach side of Condo Chain.

Ok here is the info:
Sports World has full suits (with no hood) for 2400 B, they also have long sleeve tops, and separate bottoms for about 1300B each, also stock gloves and footies.
Didn't find them any where else in Market Village.
The Hua Hin Shopping Center (near Soi 76, opposite side from Police Station) also has long sleeve tops (upstairs), and separate bottoms for about 500-600B each. Not as good quality as Sports World but might be ok for one trip to Thailand.
Thanks for the suggestions.

If you need good quality which can last for a decade...can buy from scuba diving shops. There are several in town.
