ORIGINAL POSTERHi everyone. This is not related to visa problem but hopefully this group can help. Is there anybody in UK this time and is about to travel to Thailand in few days? I wanted to buy a wetsuit in UK and just send to your address and bring the wetsuit coming to Thailand. I tried to order online and send it international but Thailand is not in their list countries. Thank you.
TLDR : Answer Summary
A user is looking for someone traveling from the UK to Thailand to bring a wetsuit, as they cannot find a retailer that ships to Thailand. Several community members respond suggesting that purchasing a wetsuit in Thailand would be easier and potentially cheaper, as numerous local shops sell wetsuits for diving and other water activities. Recommendations for specific stores in Hua Hin are also provided.

If you just need it for diving in Thailand why ship on across the world every dive shop question

Diving. Cave diving. Open water whatever. There are shops that will custom tailor for you with flexible arms and an ass flap if you want. Phuket.

I bought one 22 years ago, a short sleeved and leg version. If my memory serves me right it cost me about 2,750 baht. Only needed it for a job I was going on, but I imagine even a full length one, depending on mm thickness, will not be expensive. Just looked on Lazada Thai website, Crikey you can get them for less than 2,000 baht. So even if you buy direct from a dive shop, can't see it costing more than 3,000 baht. That's about £70.

Of course. they could open it and check for themselves since it will be bought from the company who is selling that brand, i don’t think I will ask somebody not to open it when it is not confidential item also for their own peace of mind.Guy **********
@Kat *****
and can they slice it open too and check the inseams where the drugs would be resewn into? Not saying that’s ur motive BUT it’s not a risk anyone in their right mind would take. Ur asking a lot …u can find here in Thailand anyways.Kat ******

If you will be the one to carry it and you have those trust issues, why agree to carry? There's a lot of ways to check and confirm, even buy it by youself in any shop you wanted if you have those issues. But anyway, I understand what you mean. We don't know each other, so why do we trust one another? Thanks for your concern.Reply to

I called this shop (1 in your list) he said i could to his shop and can rent one but they don't have the specified I need because it is not really in-demand in Thailand, instead just wetsuits they usually use for diving. I need to visit his shop for fitting.Kat ******
ORIGINAL POSTER@Nicole *********
Thank you. I am 595 km away from Hua Hin but I will try to contact all of these if they sell wetsuit for open water swimming because mostly, they sell wetsuits for other water sports. This helps a lot. 😘Reply to

It's different from open water. I have one for surfing, it's not flexible in my arms and difficult to stretch. But anyway, thank you for your kindness.Reply to
