Used Motorcycle Helmet
Any ideas what a fair price range is for a used helmet Male Large size? i hear there is a shop near railway station but someone thought new ones only ? are there other shops? all answers appreciated
Re: Used Motorcycle Helmet
You can buy a new one for anything from 200 baht upwards.............how much you spend depends on how much you value your life.

I'm a hard fit (L), bought new for 600 and sure it will take a few bounces, even hard. If it cracked, not sure the rest of me would be worth saving at that point.
Re: Used Motorcycle Helmet
Never buy a used helmet, unless you're just wearing it for looks.
Thailand has a safety standard based on ECE and DOT standards. It is called TIS. All approved helmets have a sticker on the back stating TIS.

I guess this is what to expect in the LOS - the opening paragraph of the link Buksibuksida wrote:If you want a real motorcycle helmet you should go here: http://www.huahinmedia.com/clubmoto.php
Club Moto is a division of Kawasaki offering big bikes, accessories, and clothing. We also have a bar and coffee shop so make an ideal pit stop for bikers on their way in or out of Hua Hin.

Re: Used Motorcycle Helmet
Thanks all. Update on my motorbike helmet search....my motorbike taxi man took me to a scooter spare parts shop on Sa Song Rd at the fresh market end, ocean(East) side of road. About 20 to choose from, all new, I got an Index one with tinted visor for 410 bht. Prices seemed to be 200 to 650 ish. Limited selection though, not for the serious biker IMO.
