Default Embroidered patches

I am a big collector of embroidered patches of all kinds and would very much like to buy some Thai examples while I am in Bangkok. Usually, when I am traveling I usually head straight for the local boy scout supplies shop and start there. Is there such a shop in Bangkok and if so where is it located.
Of course I am also interested in all other kinds of patches, police, fire, military – you name it I collect it! I am also looking forward to finding some motorbike club patches if possible.
If you know of any places that sell patches then please let me know. Even manufacturers are interesting although I do not buy container quantities, they are still a good place to look.
Any information will be most appreciated.
Many thanks
Chris

Chris I've found many shops selling these items near military areas. For example if your go to Sattahip, this is a large Thai Navy area 30K south of Pattaya, and there are at least half a dozen such shops in the main streets of the small town making and selling patches and military uniforms. So thats my tip wherever there are large military bases there are these shops.

Daytime, take the BTS skytrain to station E8, "Phra Khanong". Get off on the southwest side (the side with traffic heading back the way you can) and walk back in the direction from which you came.

You will come to a small sewing shop, maybe under the platform, with with a small display case out front containing many obscure designs.
