Hi!

I’m from Brazil and will be in Thailand in December 2016/January 2017. I wonder if I can find a store to buy the new Scott Spark 910 – 2017.

A article you wrote was actually the reason why I sent this email – http://bicyclethailand.com/kh-cycle-thailand-in-bangkok/

I didn’t find any way of contact. Do you have the owner/manager email?

Do you have his e-mail or even his Facebook page?

Thanks!
José

Our response to José

Jose,

The manager’s name is Khun June. I use the phone number of the shop, as listed in the article and on their main website (that is linked in the article).

From my own experience, sending emails to shops gets little to no response due to language issues but you can try the one listed below.

It’s best to speak to them in person, or on the telephone unless you can write your email in Thai language.

Some shops stay more active on FaceBook and will reply to a message. I listed both of their FaceBook pages below for you.

Bicycle Thailand,

I saw that you posted an article about a Bike Co-op somewhere in Bangkok. How can I contact this place? I have some spare parts and bicycle tools that I would like to donate. Should I send them to you or to the Bike Co-op directly?

Thanks,
Mike C.

Our response to Mike

Hello Mike,

Thank you for your inquiry, and your offer to donate to the Don Kuson Community Bike Shop. This community bike shop is located on Charoen Krung soi 57 in Bangkok’s Sathon district. The shop, which is being hailed as Bangkok’s first Bike Co-op, was opened recently by American Alex Martin with an aim to serve the cycling community by providing a place where riders can perform their own bike repairs or donate time and/or parts to have their bikes repaired by Co-op volunteers.

The Don Kuson Community Bike Shop is listed on our exhaustive list of Bangkok Bike Shops here – http://bicyclethailand.com/bicycle-shops-in-bangkok-thailand/

Your website link has been added to our CLUBS & LINKS page at BicycleThailand.com and it has been shared on our extensive network of social media outlets.

Keep up the great work, we’re delighted to see bilingual websites like yours here in Thailand. It’s a truly great step forward for the cycling community as a whole to have your level of expertise available in Thai language.
