I`ll visit Pattaya and possibly BKK next week, I would like to come home with some long sleeved polos and I remember looking for them three years ago when I was there last time but never found any, asked about two million stalls for them... is there a mall, shop, or stall where they do sell long sleeved polos or I should just give up this time?

I get them up here in Chiang Mai with no problems - Thais often prefer long sleves to keep the sun off - try the shopping malls - or super markets (Big C / Lotus Tesco).

I think there's a big difference in temperature between ChiangMai and Pattaya, I definitely remember looking into BigC Tesco and even Carrefour, I did find jumpers and shirts long sleeves but always got funny looks when specifically asking for polos. They are all envious of my brightly coloured polos at home (most of them lacoste and ralph lauren knockoffs I must say), it's just a shame I don't have any with long sleeves..

You could always have them made for you - plenty of Indian tailors here that knock out anything you can show them for a few quid. Check before you pay though!

I tried that too, my brother had some shirts made and they turned out great, some trousers as well, genuinely nice and reasonably priced, my polo though turned out 5h|t, maybe I should go there with a sample..

I stayed in the Baiyoke last time I was in BKK so in that area . Lot of shopping to be done . got some great socks with funny pictures on .
Can't vouch for the street food because I try not to eat it . Went to a restaurant and had the worse Thai meal ever I think . Tom Ka that was horrible . Did get some good durian though on the street though.
