Backpack broken? Luggage trashed? Go see Mr Bag-Fix in Bangkok to get your travelling gear restored to good as new
The first time I ever went backpacking, I bought a really cheap backpack from an army surplus store. It was such a piece of crap that it fell apart within about 48 hours of me leaving home, exploding its contents somewhere on the Paris metro. Suitably chastened, I’ve been somewhat more diligent in buying better quality bags ever since, but sometimes even the best backpacks get rips or start falling apart at the seams around the zips. Obviously you don’t want to replace the backpack, but it’s pretty useless with a big hole in it. As such, Mr Bag Fix in Bangkok has been a godsend for me – twice my scuba diving gearbag has split at the seams due to the weight of the gear, and twice it’s been fixed and actually improved and strengthened by the people at Mr Bag-Fix. Both times it’s cost 500 baht for the repair. Usually it takes one week but I managed to get it done in 3 days with no extra charge. I go to the Thonglor Soi 17 branch but they are all over the city, and also in Pattaya and Chiang Mai – you can see a list of all their shop locations under the About Us section of the Mr Bag Fix website. (Can’t link to that page direct unfortunately). They also offer a mail-order bag fix service too, but I can’t vouch for that. I’d definitely recommend their bag repair service though – it’s already saved me a lot of hassle and money.
