Honestly I don't know if they are Chinese made or Thai made. Even our local authorized dealer of Omin is no longer sure if the Omin cues he was importing is genuine Thai made or Chinese made after the brand being registered by a Chinese company. He suspected they are now being made in Tai Shan, China. And he stopped importing or selling Omin altogether, and suggested me to buy Master instead.

Trademark-wise, these Chinese ones may now actually be the genuine one. But may not be the good old Thailand ones made by Mr Omin. I hope at least he is still making some of the cues for this company.
Let me send an enquiry to that Chinese Omin company and see what they say.

Difficult to find an Omin cue. Mr O doesn't speak any English. As he sell a lot of cues in asia he isnt interested in going international.
I went 2 times to his shop in Bangkok. The shop isnt easy to find either.
Lucky my girlfriend is thai and can translate things.
Dont try to bargain with Mr O. He is pure thai...and get annoyed very easily if you try to bargain.
I during those 2 visits I bought 2 cues. One of them I can sell.

I have 2 Omin cues currently, the Climax is 17 years old now and I just got my custom made Classic less than a week ago. The price is somewhat reasonable if you don't go for the range topping ones. Both cues are well balanced, some might say it's a bit springy, however the Classic's finish could be better(the lacquer part made it look cheap). I sanded and oiled the cue to make up for it. If you want I can try to contact my friend so when he goes there he can order it. Was surprised I got a freshly made cue in a short period of time.

I bought an o'min cue from this german online store https://mcbillard.de/index.php/cat/c5_Snooker-Queues
I bought the o'min classic a few years ago and I think it plays great. Can anyone tell where these are from?
