    Hello Asian Friends,

    Can anyone advise me which place or country is a better choice to shop for reasonably priced badminton equipment - Yonex, Gosen, etc. rackets, shoes, bags, etc.

    Also, would there be places where we could easily play badminton in these countries - without paying too much!

    Would it be Malaysia, Thailand or Singapore?

    My friends are planning a badminton shopping/vacation and any replies from residents and badminton fans from these places will be highly appreciated.

    Thanks.

    Bok

    Bok, i live in Singapore and i can tell you several places that are good in Singapore to go to. But in Thailand, Bangkok to be specific. There is a shop in the world trade centre in Bangkok. They sell rackets there at excellent prices. Its an authorised Yonex shop so their products are genuine.

    I bought an MP55 there for $99 Singapore. Inclusive of BG-65, socks and shirt

    The better choice is Germany.

    I'm the owner of a badminton store in Germany and authorized dealer of Yonex Germany.
    Look at www.badmintontreff.de
    This site is in german but if you have further questions I can help via e-Mail.

    Ask me about prices and shipment costs.

    Best regards.

    Thailand: cheap Yonex racket but only TH version.. choices are also limited, bought one near the national stadium..

    Malaysia: in Pertama Complex,Kuala Lumpur, u can get SP version Yonex racket at a very cheap price. TI-10 only for less than USD110 including strings.. but only if u tell them that u r from bad. central forum.. all models should be available..

    Singapore: cheaper than the average price in Malaysia with similar SP version but much more expensive than in Pertama Complex, Malaysia..
