Like Finding A T-shirt In A Haystack
November 23, 2011 1:01 PM Subscribe
Last weekend I purchased a uniqueT-shirt at Bangkok's Jatujak/Chatuchak weekend market. I got home and found it's the wrong size. Help me figure out how to find and contact a single vendor out of the 15,000 stalls.
The stall is called "Everything about T". The T-shirts are tie-dyed geometrical designs. It was located in the clothes section on the aisle closest to Phahonyothin Rd. about 500 meters from the train stop. I think it was a corner stall with a walkway leading out to the Rd.

What if you mail it to "Everything About T, Jatujak Market, Near Phahonyothin Rd., Bangkok"? Include a prepaid addressed envelope for them to send you the replacement shirt. And bear in mind that you will almost certainly receive nothing.

...and if you don't have a friend with a serger, a tailor can do it - should cost about $20.

Are you positive the stall was called "Everything About T"? I found a vendor at that market who has "everything about t-shirts" in their slogan but is called EETEE (their Facebook page).
Looking at the map of the market and their supposed location (Section 23, Soi 32/5) it's not really where you mentioned. Sorry, I'm sure it's a long shot but here's hoping!

Response by poster: Thanks dayintoday. It may not be her but I'll e-mail them anyway. The location is close. This place had a distinctive logo (a red lower case t). The map was helpful too.

Addresses in developing countries are not always as formalised as what we're used to. I've had people write their address as things like "Green door, half way down lane opposite police booth near the old market".
If all else fails, try getting somebody to write out (in Thai) "in the clothes section on the aisle closest to Phahonyothin Rd. about 500 meters from the train stop. I think it was a corner stall with a walkway leading out to the Rd."
