The name of the store mentioned above is Luxsana.
Located on the NE corner of the intersection of Huay Kaew Rd. and Canal Rd., next to the police box.
Can't miss it; huge billboard, etc.
They are a wholesaler who also do a brisk retail business.

They've gotten probably half a million baht from me in the past 6 years....Posted Image

Do you have a phone number for the Luxsana store? I need to order some beer laos, cheers.

With this being a fairly 'dry' weekend for bars, someone might be desperate enough, but I think it's going to be a hard find.

I'd find somewhere to watch it too, that's if Andy Gray and Richard Keys were commentating on the game... :whistling:

The Night Bazzar DEFINATLEY does not have "original " shirts, so lets not go down that road.

However I'm pretty sure the sports shop in Robinson's at Airport Plaza does. :)

My Wife's son is a mad Liverpool fan and we are able to buy not only the kit, but jackets, track suits and much more Liverpool stuff. But I can't remember how long ago we last brought one, but I DO remember that they had the black away top there when I was last shopping there, about 2 months ago.

No Reading F.C. gear though :(

Nobody seems to have heard of us :(

If you still don't get any joy and are desperate why don't you order from the club's website?

I have heard of Reading FC as my friend Gary Peters used to play for them before going into football management. They have had quite a good season. Almost as good as my local team Brighton who won promotion to the Chamionship this year

Anyone remember Elm Park, where Reading used to play? What a er dump that was (was it worse than Oxford's Manor Ground!?!?), to put it politely. I went there on a few occasions, in the away end! My first trip watching Oxford Utd there, was quite an experience for a 15/16 year old, I could see that these two sets of fans didn't see eye to eye to put it mildly. Lots of bottles and coins being thrown from the Reading fans into the Oxford fans and vice versa, big police presence. I'm actually a Norwich fan, and think I was at the last game ever at Elm Park, which we won 1-0.
Another vivid memory i have of Reading fans, is when they played Oxford away about 8-10 years ago midweek. Having lived in Bicester, a few of my friends supported Oxford and I always keen to see a game of football so often went along, anyway, we decided to have a quick beer in the pub just outside Oxford train station at about 6pm, the pub was empty with no other than Phil Whitehead (goalkeeper who played for both Oxford and Reading) sat at the bar having a pint. We went and sat down, started playing pool, and having a pint, my next recollection is that the train from Reading must have arrived, as the pub was now swarming with about 50-100 Reading fans, chanting 'SCUM, SCUM, SCUM' at me and my 2 friends. My chair was pulled away from me, and my mate ended up with a pool ball being thrown at his head as we hastily made a retreat for the exit. How we ever made it out of the pub without a good beating, ill never know. I guess taking that old Oxford scraf along wasn't the best idea... :blink:
Anyway next year Premier League for my team Norwich, maybe Reading will be joining us, if current form is anything to go by then, I think they're in with a good chance of making it. Does anyone know if the Championship Play Off Final is on live TV here in Thailand?? Should be a good game thats for sure.

In Topic: Where To Buy Union Jack Flags?

In response to the OP you can buy flags in the Thai boxing shop at the front of the Loi Kroh bar beer centre.

In response to which is the appropriate flag to wave; the Queen is currently, and William is in line to be sovereign of the following countries -
Antigua and Barbuda
Australia
The Bahamas
Barbados
Belize
Canada
Grenada
Guernsey
Isle of Man
Jamaica
Jersey
New Zealand
Papua New Guinea
Saint Kitts and Nevis
Saint Lucia
Saint Vincent and the Grenadines
Solomon Islands
Tuvalu
United Kingdom (including England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland)

It would therefore be appropriate to fly any of those countries' flags in celebration of the event although I doubt most of them will be available in Chiang Mai  :D

If anyone is that keen I have a 40 by 20 foot Union Jack which I would be prepared to loan out subject to a guarantee that I get it back but you will need a very big place to hang it.

MB - Many thanks for the response, ill have a look at the Thai boxing shop you mentioned in your reply.
The mind boggles, but how on earth did you end up with a 40 by 20 foot Union Jack Flag!?!?!? :blink:

Who the hell wants a Union Jack? - not any Englishman that's for sure. The cross of St.george is far more patriotic. The irish have their flag, the scots and welsh their own and so do us English. Better to support and wave the correct flag.

Royal wedding, since when had the Welsh, Northern Irish and Scottish escaped their clutches? I think Union Jack works best.

My thoughts too Naboo! Now does anyone know where I can buy these from!?!?
