Cricket bats definately available in Bangkok, there is quite a bit of cricket in Thailand.
I'm not sure exactly where, but the area of shops adjacent to the National Stadium has most things.
Chiang Mai hosts the annual International 6's and also there is the Phuket 6's, goes along with other great farang sporting events like the annual Phuket rugby tournament in May.
I doubt they'll be that cheap though, specialist market.
As for your Ashes prediction of 3rd or 4th day....Englandd have won a test in each of the recent series when they were rubbish, expect on home soil for it to be a very competative series, but hey go over complacent, it'd be nice to see the smiles drain away...
