westbounder Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Hi, I'm looking for a shop in C Rai that sells home made wooden tables and chairs that you see in most Thai restaurants in and outside of the City. I am posting a picture of the chairs and wood shelfs that are similar. Thank You Kindly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randell Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 There one shop beside the entrance to Makro CR. All that type of wood products 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 This place is no good to you, it's in northern BKK, but I'm sure you have similar places recycling timber products (ok pallets), you can see the raw materials out back. Take a ride around your area or show this photo to your local motorcy-taxi chaps, if they don't know something it's not worth knowing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All that type of wood products This place (Makro is to the right in the image)? Certainly looks promising, if they don't have then they will know someone who does.

RichCor Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 (edited) There are quite a few shops in Chiang Rai that specialize in selling the type of wooden furniture pictured. As Crossy posted, most will have their wares visible from the road as you drive by. There's also a large-ish shop on the oposite side and just prior to Browney Pet World. We did the rounds checking prices vs construction quality a few years ago to outfit an open-air soupshop. Probably found at least 10 shops on the various main roads leading out of Chiang Rai.

kickstart Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Crossy beat me to it ,they are a lot of locale restaurants that use old pallets made in to furniture ,a roadside guy near me was selling table 4 chairs 1500 baht, made from old pallets. Or, ask around and find a local guy to make you some ,could be to your design, no middle man to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randell Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Yes Crossy that was the one I meant. as mentioned very many around and most are visible from the road. So good luck to the OP, good hunting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pomchop Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 be aware that termites often love to feast on this type of furniture. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randell Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 I found with most outside wood furniture it was best to soak the lower 2 or 3 inches anti termite and ant solution and then just the occasional shot of spray on the feet or legs of the table or chairs will keep it bug free for years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
