I am currently in Mae Sai/Chiang Rai area and in dire need of some new riding pants. Also my jacket and boots needs replacement soon.

I couldnt find the asserories shop at the border market in Mae Sai where it used to be. Has it moved or closed for good?

Anything in Chiang Rai you could recommend?

Thanks in advance!

Yes the Silom Joy covered market shop permanently closed down during the floods. I think their main shop is Jcf biker shop.

I have checked out Mae Sai protective m/c gear shops many times and to be honest all I can say without getting my post removed (moderated due to Thailand defamation laws) is, I'd steer well clear.

Sorry to say, I haven't found any shops in Chiang Rai selling reliable and effective protective riding pants, jackets or boots.

Perhaps the question we should be asking is, what level of protection are you wanting? Can't see any point in directing you to shops that will waste your time.

I dont need first class protection. But a certain level is good to have. Pants that have protective knee and hip inserts, jacket that have elbow, shoulder and back insertion enforcements and half long boots that enforced above the ancle joint. If that makes it any clearer - I am not a native english speaker so have mercy with my english skills and explanantion.

Have been on the road a week with a mate now - will head home to Lampang tomorrow. Thought it would be worth having a look here while Im here in this area.

Its 10 years since I bought my bike here in Thailand and so is the age my riding gear. My bike is holding up well but my riding gear is not great anymore. Especially my pants is just shreds nowadays and pieces are falling off my boots. But I will get to Lampang tomorrow and we will see where and what to have a look for later on…

Thanks for answers everybody!
