Chinese rather than Thai, still cheap though.

I think that's a Chinese one, I don't think Omin Thailand do the enlighten model. Decent cue for the money probably.

How do you tell the difference between the chinese and thai cues?

Firstly check the Thai website, the enlighten is a well known Chinese model so easy to spot, seen them as cheap as £40 but usually around £50-£60 with extensions. If buying off eBay ask the seller, they won't openly list it but most will admit it if the question is asked or lie and say they don't know in which case its Chinese! The chinese cues actually hold the trade mark, so if you see any with the r logo there chinese.
The cheaper cues like this one are usually varnished, Thai cues having an oil finish.
They are good cues for the money, but not a patch on the Thai omin!
