 An importer and distributor of replacement parts for motorcycles in Bangkok sells 'original' number plates to its Thai customers. He also distributes engines Made in China.
Any comment superfluous...
Pattaya Police
Buffoons
During January 2009 police officers from Chonburi inspected a flea market in South Pattaya and detained 2 stall owners.
One was selling 25 fake Levis and Wranglers Jeans, the other one 68 fake shirts of brand names like Billabong, D & G, Diesel, Lacoste, Polo, Puma and Versace.
Buffoons, at shopping malls in Central Pattaya the officers could seize hundreds - if not thousands - of clothes with fakes brand names.

Police and Copycat
Usually Police turns a blind eye on Copycat products.
If Police starts a 'crackdown' on Copycat products, its targets is the small street vendor, usually not the manufacturer or the importer of the goods.
Big fishes have the right connection to avoid crackdowns interrupting their businesses.
A Police crackdown on pirated goods in Thailand has an alibi function only.
Copycat Products are on sale everywhere in Pattaya, not only at street vendors or at markets. You can get them at virtually all Shopping Centers and Shopping Malls in the city.

Pattaya Copycat
The way of a
Copycat Product This camera, made by a Chinese manufacturer, is on sale at MBK Center in Bangkok for about 3'000 Baht and is labeled as Sony 8 Megapixels Digital Camera...
In reality the camera has an unpretentious fixfocus optic with 2 glass and 2 plastic lenses and a 5 MegaPixels CMOS Sensor. The picture is inflated to 8 MegaPixels via interpolation.
Most MP3 and MP4 Players on sale at MBK, Pantip Plaza and other locations, including Tukcom Pattaya, are (falsely) labeled as iPod, Samsung or Sony Products...
The Thai distributors buy the goods brandless from the manufacturers in China and are adding popular brand names later in Thailand.
Original products are sold in colorful boxes and with costly manuals with the manufacturer's brand name printed on both.
Copycat products usually comes in boxes and with very simple manuals without brand names.
The brand name is on the Copycat product only.
