  1. Probably, but when I was there I didn't look at them because I hadn't come up with this project. I wasn't planning on going back to E-sarn til May & this was something to do in the hot season.

    I'll see what I can find in CR this week.There must be a place, even to do repairs.

  2. There are plenty of mature trees around but the fruit is not so good - a bit stringy. The best fruit I have seen is in Mae Sai. If its from Burma you could probably ask the vendors to bring in some branches.[ limbs]

  3. There is a shop about 200m N of the Menglia statue on the east side. It sells steel, castors, nuts and bolts, etc, might be a place to look. :o

    Thanks. I'm going to town next week & hope to check out as many places as possible. Maybe even damaged cars. Something like a Mira & just use one leaf.

  4. Spot on Chownah. If I can't make something new I will be looking to get some of those leaf springs. May have to take one out. Though will be carrying about the same weight.

    Not sure they still make samlors. Maybe I'll give that old guy who hangs around Beautiful Optical at night a deal he can't refuse.

    Ask around among the samlor drivers and ask where they get springs if one breaks....if you find out where the samlor spart parts store is please let me know as I'm interested in making a custom cart too someday..

    Chownah

    I am a bit worried that the samlor springs may break easily especially if going more than pedal speed.The curved end where the bolt goes thru is small & seems fragile.

  6. Chownah is correct.

    What kind of springs u looking for-watch springs, bed springs, leaf springs, tie to your feet springs-????

    I would like to make some new springs. We are building a luxury pushcart - a Lincoln rot kentinental :o

  7. Hi sunlovers

    We will be vacationing in your island home during the Thai New Year. We are planning on making our own grass skirts up here before we arrive so that we don't look like tourists.

    Could someone tell us what length of skirt is in fashion this season.

    Thank you and Merry Christmas to all

    Peace

  8. SP Hotel & S House are the same place. Doubt they r on the net. When u get to Thip Sukon Hotel turn left up steep hill . About 10 yards u find S-House on the right.. The room prices vary - sunday is a low price day.She got it for free when she separated from her American partner. :o

  9. I think its normal that CR have many checking points. CR share border with Burma and Laos...obvious a drugs route include illegal traffic of all kinds.

    Just take your id card or a copy of your passport on yourself should be fine. They're just doing their job. Although i've been asking for my Thai ID people still think i'm a foreigner (i dont look like Thai according to many peoples).

    I didn't mean to suggest I had a problem with the checks.

    But I didn't understand why there were none in E-sarn. There are the same concerns there with drug smuggling - in Khemmarat they had two drug sniffer dogs & they body searched everyone.
