Where can I buy one of those quality Thai rain capes?
I've asked locals, but they are a bit unspecific, they just say in the market. I haven't been able to find one ' in the market' yet.
Any shops or markets directions? I've been told that they are around $5.
Cheers

Looks like useful info to me!

What did you want? The aisle number in the market, stall number and sellers name and phone number. Feck off!

I had one of those from Vietnam. They're good for popping it over the handle bars so that the light and spedo show through. But like all the numerous capes i have bought over the last 7 years, it was made from PVC, and fell appart in a few months.

The Thai ones I'm thinking of are made out of much stronger material.

When I was living in AU a friend in VN posted a pic like this and I wondered why you'd want a clear panel "down there" lol. But it all makes perfect sense when you find out.

I stopped going to central a couple years ago as all the places I used to go turned into second shops. They were selling used white shirts for $5 lol. That seems to have had the effect of putting the central shops (east side) up in price.

I have been to Orussey but I always get lost upstairs looking for the very few shops that sell mens clothes, which is where I've been told you can buy them. The one's I found don't sell them. Lol

I reckon that would be MUCH more useful info...Image

Or he could just buy one from the hair/beauty/body products shop about half way along where the bus station is downtown...Image
