If these issues are not your concerns and you just want 10-12, places like Chatuchak where you went before, the Night Bazaar Lumpini and Pratunam should suffice. Also, a lot of retailers get a wholesale sized order, then get stuck with these for a long time....if you see what you want in a regular retail store, they might offer you a good price just to rid of them. There is a big wholesaler in Chonburi, but you have to order at least 200 as a min. order (of one style) and the quality has to be controlled closely. The other places are best for your needs.
