Super SportsSuper Sports is a big Thai sporting chain, which has over 40 stores throughout Thailand. Super Sports stores are usually in Robinsons, Zen or Central department stores and sell everything.

Super Sports is a particularly good place to buy treadmills, exercise bikes, footballs, skateboards, basketballs, tennis equipment, running equipment and cycling equipment. Prices are higher, but the quality is superb and they do sell almost everything you might be looking for.

I bought my last treadmill here and got a great price. Plus they even threw in free delivery.

FBT Sports Complex – This is probably the super store for sports equipment in Bangkok. It’s been open for more than 50 years and has almost 3,000 employees. It has seven floors of sports equipment where you can buy equipment for rugby, American football, baseball, hockey, swimming, tennis, basketball, squash, Muay Thai, volleyball and a hundred other things in between.

They also sell all the top brands like Adidas, Nike, Fila, Reebok, Converse and Speedo. Prices too are competitive.

FBT Sports Complex is located in the Ramkamhaeng area of Bangkok. Just take a taxi and tell the driver “FBT Sports Complex”.

One final note, although it is easy to find sporting goods in Bangkok, finding large or extra large sizes can be more difficult as Thais are quite small and thin. This also means some Thai brands of sportswear have shorter legs for things like shorts and pants so always try everything on before you buy.
