Well we will have to agree to dissagree..
I still have and wear gear I bought on Bali a decade ago.. Gear thats been in regular wash rotation for 10 years !!! Thai stuff rarely lasts more than a few months..
Also on Bali the quality of the surf brands is just way higher than the basic prints here.. Stussy, quicksilver, rusty, lost, rush, etc.. Here its just silk screened prints there you get dress shirts, embroidered, etc etc etc.. They seem to have the boutique surf fashion thing totally absent from this market.
Go look in the clubs around Seminyak.. Ku De Ta.. Just around the hotspots.. Much better dressed than most Patong customers IMO.. Even the indo lads dress better, baggy shorts and skate fashion style..
