Boots where can I find Big sizes?

[iammike]

I am looking for Boots (Wellington Boots) / boots what you wear when working in the garden (don't know the correct word for it), but The problem is that I need size 46 (Uk size 13).

I have looked all over Pattaya and also on some special work boots web sites but the max. Size they have is 44. I have tried those but No Go.

I know that it is difficult but if you don't try you never succeed;)

Thanks Guys

If all else fails, Amazon dot com; the shipping fee and other accessed fees may put the total price out of consideration.
However, there have been a couple of times we were able to use "purchase points" from various Credit Cards
to take care of the extra fees, taxes and duty charges without impacting the bank account.

Thanks I already thought about it but trying to avoid it

Does anyone know What the import taxes on such an item would be?

[BillH52]

Amazon will tell you that, too, before taking your money.

Thanks.

I think you need a Thai Credit Card before they will ship it to Thailand, but unfortunately I only have a Europe Credit Card. So IMHO a European Credit Card with a Thai adress will not work.

But I have send an email to the Amazon Helpdesk about this.

For laughs

Get an email from friends back in Europe just now, Fedex wants around  90 Euros to send a pair of boots over which is around double of the amount the boots will cost.

I think it's going to be the same thing when I wanted a Senseo coffee machine, eventually bought in Europe and have it send over by Fedex.

Cost for the senseo +/- 50 Euro (around 2000 Thb)
Send it over with Fedex around 125 Euros (around 6000 Thb)
Tax or import Duty 3000 Thb.

So a simple coffee machine cost me around 11.000 Thb.

crazy but that's one of these things we have to accept for living in such a beautiful country.

I'm not sure you really need wellies, if my flip flops get wet and I am slipping around inside them, I will often take them off and work barefoot in the garden. I have a pair of high quality Swiss mountain boots, I hardly ever used them.
I reckon you can get some boots made to measure in Bangkok in a couple of days and that they would be cheaper than getting stuff sent over.

Bank holiday and not much to do until this afternoon so I started checking my shoes. My shoes, flip-flops an wellies all show the same size but vary in length from 28cms to 31cms.

So iammikie..........how long are your feet. The small shop where I got mine might have something for you.

Hi,

Around 29 centimetres or 11.5 inches

These are the biggest in the shop.

Just in case someone is also looking for this. I have found this site

http://www.pangolin.co.th/product.php and they have a couple (for example: http://www.pangolin.co.th/product_detail.php?id=26), but the max size is UK 11 or EU 45.

My Search continues, thanks guys.

Is that a typo? I would not think a size 11 is 44cms. The ones in my photo are 11.5.
