Just about 100 meters along the back soi in front of the Baiyoke Suite
Hotel (not the Baiyoke Sky Tower. With your back to the hotel door, turn
right ) on the right side of the street. Very nice luggage at good
prices that are very flexible. I bought the largest hardside suitcase
they had, and have been using it constantly for the past five years to
carry heavy dive and camera equipment. It's scratched and marked, but
there are no dents or dings, has four very rugged clasps (two on the
front and one on each end, each one about 4cm long, not those little
thin latches) a good sealing rubber gasket, and a combination lock that
has never given up. I saw these same cases in various sizes.
