In Pattaya, there are at least 3 shops selling new and old bikes and accessories on Thepparasit Road, near the speedway track. At least one of these sells imported bikes and accessories.

There are a lot of bicycle (and motorbike) shops on and around Worachak Road, Chinatown in Bangkok - a couple of them sell imported bikes and some with accessories but mostly only new and second hand Thai bikes.

In Chiang Mai, the Central department store on Huay Kaew Road has Star Sports which stocks various bicycle accessories, but no bicycles.

Hi Everyone.  Do most of my riding in the western BKK burbs, so have three high-end shops out there to add to this list.

Saengphet: At Jaransanitvong Soi 20, ~3 km south of the Jaran Foodland or ~4 km north of Ta Pra (Phetkasem)  Lots of components, some clothing, some built up bikes.  Good people, but don't expect English speakers!

Asia Bikes: Wong Waen (Western Ring Road) south-bound side, ~2 km south of Boromoratchachonani (Pinklao-Nakhon Chaisi Highway).  Very friendly, lots of CSC, Wheeler, CKT frames and bikes. Will assemble yr 'dream' ride to order. Good for simple repairs. Good prices.  Selection changes often when owner (K. Sema) returns from frequent stock-up trips to Taiwan and HK.  Good English.

Nakhon Pathom Shop:  Sorry, don't know this one's name, but it has good stuff and good mechanic.  Scott, Giant, Specialized, Trek.  Located on west side of Pra Pathom Chedi (the giant chedi in center of town).  This is a high-end shop; don't get confused with the other bike shop-which is actually easier to find--located right at the stop light outside the chedi's western gate.  The 'good' shop is ~ 200 m south, very small shop house place.  You'll know it when you see it.

See you on the road hopefully.
