One dude was all bummed ’cause he went lookin’ for these super convincing fake watches – the kind that *almost* fool ya, ya know? – but found nothin’ but clunky junk on stalls. Like, the kinda stuff you wouldn’t even insult your worst enemy with, right? He only heard about the good fakes *after* he got home. Classic.
Then there’s this other post, this one’s a bit more promising, though. This person’s *in* Pattaya, at the Night Bazaar, and blabbing about all the fake stuff they see – handbags, purses, the whole shebang! They even hashtag it #fakemarket. Now, *that* gives me hope.
So, here’s the thing, and this is just my opinion, mind you, but finding a decent fake watch in Pattaya probably ain’t as easy as waltzing in and pointing. It’s probably one of those things where… ya gotta *know* where to look, or maybe even who to ask. It’s like a secret handshake kind of thing, ya know?
I mean, the first guy’s experience kinda proves it. He was lookin’ in the obvious places, the tourist traps, and came up empty. Makes sense, right? Why would they put the really good stuff out in the open? Risk getting raided or something. Nah, they’d keep the good stuff hidden, maybe under the table, only for the *right* customer.
And the second person? They’re *in* the thick of it, but they don’t specifically say “OMG, the fake watches are amazing!” They just mention the fake market in general. So, maybe the watches are there, maybe they’re not. It’s a gamble, I guess.
Personally, I reckon if you *really* want a convincing fake watch in Pattaya, you’d have to do some serious digging. Like, talk to the locals, maybe even try to find a guide or something. And even then, no guarantees, right? It could all be a wild goose chase.
