What are the best places to buy quality motorbike helmets in Thailand?

Shark -

As others have said, get a full face helmet. I'd recommend one with vents and a drop-down sun visor.

The weight is usually listed on the back. These helmets can get heavy.

i havent visited this shop but I spotted it the other day. Might be worth a visit for you.

Don’t try and save money it could cost you your life, import a good one if you know what size you need

Bua Yai, is that near Khong north of Korat?

I bought a lid here last year. They have a good range of helmets in the recognised brands and cheaper ones, all styles open/full face, racing, touring, MX, lots of different designs, race reps, standard colours etc. Not so good for clothing, but great range of lids.

Bell helmets are great and won't cost a fortune. I got one with a visor that changes in the sun with all the safety fun for I believe 6000 baht

Se vuoi un buon casco , prendilo in carbonio , o simile di marca tipo ARAI , e che non sia una copia

It would be nice to tell us where you are.

Get the most expensive you can your head is worth it 😊

Check Lazada to see what makes / models are available in Thailand & get a rough price. When you visit local shops then you’ll know what your looking for and if they don’t have what you want you can try on their stock for your size and then order from Lazada or online.

Hard to find a helmet to fit for some of us. All here are made for Asian head shape which is described as circular. But some have success.

Index is ok 👍 my son is now wearing a real helmet and that's a bit better, but more expensive

Helmet shop in Rawai.

Awesome service. Great variety 🏍️

I have bought from here before, carries a good selection and you can try on before you buy

Make sure you buy a full face helmet. Open face helmets don't protect your face etc. Definitely worth it. I probably wouldn't have half my jaw and face if it weren't for a full face helmet

My 2 cents worth:

I use the British Government SHARP results to buy my helmets.



Do bear in mind that not all manufacturers / UK agents / distributors send in their helmets for testing (probably for cost reasons). In addition, they should have the latest ECE 22.06 standards.

But then again, some believe standards are fake and helmets should be bought on how they look ....

I prefer modular / Flip Front for our Asian climates. Never a open face as we always end up on the road in a accident. Unless you're Spiderman and can always land facing up, I advise against a open face for obvious reasons.

My personal good value for money and 4 / 5 star SHARP modular helmets are from Caberg (Duke): moderately priced and MT: budget priced.

I'm biased but if making a trip to Singapore, helmets and bike accessories are the cheapest in South East Asia as there's no / very little duty on these goods, only GST at 8%. That's why knowledgeable bikers from Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines and Malaysia shop for their bike accessories in Singapore. Import duty and tax at your destination is another story.

Cheers

Try these too.

Real or Bilmola both very good brands, search on the web, they have a size chart and you can take measurements to find out your size.

HJC is a good brand at medium price. Shoei, Arai, Schuberth are good but expensive.

I review motorbike gear on YouTube gearunboxed.. I use Nolan n80-8.

But you need to visit to get fitted at decent biker shop

If you try on the helmet and it fits good, then maybe look online for the same brand/model/size for a better price.

Bell is an American brand name. When I raced, you had to replace your helmet every two years because the material integrity is best new. So maybe not buy a used helmet.

Real and bimola make decent helmets 2-3000 baht ish .

I like the bimola ones slightly better as they all seem to come with cutouts for intercom speakers.

Not used a motorcycle in years but I do know a full face helmet is worth the extra.

@Factory ***************

has a motorbike shop next to it and sells brand helmets.

Its called Gear Garage

Higher end Index helmet are good, like Astro. Real is also good local alternative.

Real Helmets are a cheap but good brand in Thailand
