I bought the current one I have here in HH it is the diameter you are looking for.  However, not sure if they can deliver it that far, mine is a single length 12'.  They delivered it to me by a truck, but by mail it would need a large truck like Kerry has.

Sorry missed that little location.  Plenty of pool companies located in Thailand that can probably deliver to you.

can you please name one ??

I have contacted the usual (siam pool, des joyeux, etc etc) and the swimmingpoolsthailand etc websites.

Or search for "stainless steel tube" rather than "stainless steel pool pole" and you'll find products such as:

Thats the right diameter and everything !!

To the OP poster, try ordering one from a pool company it would be good if we knew where you lived abouts.

Seeking a quality one of these (Chiang Mai but can order if shipped). 

I have contacted many pool companies and mail order websites and as said, no one seems interested in supplying anything other than the cheap junk thin walled aluminium ones I have already tried.

Probably not, because pool poles are generally not made of stainless steel. If you are desperate for one then you can probably re-purpose something else such as:

Or even better, buy a carbon fiber one:

Thanks.. Would happily try a carbon one but these are both not in Thailand, so far each supplier I have asked who were not domestic said they cannot mail them (presume the 2m length is an issue etc).

Just ask in the bars for their supplier.

 

 

corrosion resistant ???? !! 

To repeat.. As Thaivisa once again has all the suggestion that are not the request. 

Does anyone know where to purchase a heavy duty SS pool pole. High quality, price not that important (up to maybe 10k).

Stop leaving the pole and the hose in the pool. The hose is plastic and will become brittle really fast if left in the sun all day every day. Pretty much any metal (including stainless) will corrode to some extent too.

The hose is older than my time in the house.. 7 plus years.. Considering the price I am happy enough with that lifespan cost.. 

My time and effort is far more valuable than the unpacking and repacking every day or two, I have my system and I want the tools to accommodate what I want, not to change. 

Its just a SS metal pole, I had one before, they must exist.. 

Seeking a quality one of these (Chiang Mai but can order if shipped). One that is solid thick walled quality metal. 

Long story is I had the same pool pole for 6 or so years, never gave it a second thought, my pool area doesnt have great storage and so I leave the hose and pole in the pool between cleanings if not having a party or guests over.

The pole I had was decent heavy duty and lasted years.. It finally aged and corroded and the next one I bought (white thin metal coated) lasted maybe 6 months.. When I replaced that with an 'aluminium' looking one its the same, corrosion started within weeks and now a few months later its paper thin and about to break. I dont want another piece of junk I have to buy twice a year. I just want a decent, SS heavy duty 4m or up pool pole, no shop or store I have spoken to up here has one or seems to be able to (interested in) ordering one. 
 

This cant be so hard to obtain ??

You read my mind, but said it far more eloquently than I could.

Just howling morons.. Theres devs with baseline salaries of 500k a month easy.. theres lead devs with multi million in stock options.. Top talent (is it even a talent ????) has a whole industry of head hunters whose sole job it is is to run around the world scouring to find this talent and recruit it.. 

Thailand is making a bunch of luxury visas available to them.. 10 year visas.. No tax and low tax offers.. 

And some old gramps on Thaivisa who likely couldnt tell me what a shell script is tells him its not wanted and to get a 40k a month job teaching english !!! Because thats all his skills are worth.

The powers to be will find a way or at least will try to disable the PT party for some silly reason. Hope I am wrong. 

Depending on the numbers.. Feels like prawit will make a deal.. Tacky allowed back.. PT in government, but maybe give up the figurehead leadership..

Talk him into the depositing the 800k in the bank or tell him to spend the 15-30k a year on an agent. 

 

To be clear, the 800K is not "locked up", you can take it out any time you want, you just will not be able to use it to renew the visa. 

2 months before 3 months after and 400k all year is kind of locked up !!

Around 12 years ago, I applied the same day of my birthday. They told me to come back the day after which I did and everything went fine. I could get my retirement visa 2 months later. This happened in Chiang Mai Immigration Office.

I thought retirement, unlike marriage, had no under review period ???

Yeah like that hasnt happened before !! 

I mean the cult of personality playbook which has shaped this country so definitively is CIA planning through and through..

Taksin, Prayut, Army, Red shirts, Yellow shirts etc, doesn't make any difference....Thailand will continue on its own path (whoever is at the helm in the future), it won't break, it won't have mass unemployment, it will always find ways for major infrastructure...so all you guys with this doomsday outlook shown button up or go home.

 

Yet it is the speed of the change isnt it.. 

As I already noted.. Its only a few decades back that Thailand had higher per capita GDP than South Korea.. Look at the two now and tell me Thailand is doing well for its countrymen. If S Korea were magically reset to Thailands per capita prosperity it would legitimately be considered a 'doomsday' for them, that is precisely what Thailand has squandered. 

Over time small rates of growth both won and lost compound dramatically and the end result is felt by the population.

3. He has destroyed tourism. It will likely never recover to a meaningful extent. So many mistakes have been made, so much timidity was shown, and so much sabotage has laid the industry to waste.

I agree with everything you wrote.. I would say though that tourism numbers will rebound just fine, but how much social and economic damage will that come with.. 

As you say Thailand always 'wants' something but you dont hear what they wish to offer.. 'quality tourism' AKA rich people have a lot of great options, Thailands real market sector is a kind of high volume cheap excitement and more and more cheap arrivals combined with such corruption and mindsets of grab it all now are just trashing every island, every hotspot etc. You want to get 'quality tourists' you need to control rampant over development, have enforced planning rules and environmental policies, have a society that can stop wealthy and connected just doing what they want.. In short provide the connected, clean, quality infrastructure that multi millionaires want if they are going to consider buying and building mega money villas.

What do you think will happen then?

under trend growth.. high personal debt loads.. In turn increased income not meeting home balance sheets.. But further reducing global competitiveness. 

Under Tacky there was 6 even 8% pa growth, investing in the rural provinces outside of bangkok paid dividends and that in turn allowed consumer spending to advance.. Once that GDP growth stopped (2 - 4% pa growth if lucky !!) the consumer lifestyle funded by credit (and that credit is mostly on depreciating goods unlike western mortgage debt in appreciating assets) and you have hallmarks of a country heading into its second 'lost decade'. The debt loads will be a further brake on consumer spending and domestic economic growth. 

Developing world economies can not afford the stagnation of low growth like a developed / old world economy can. Its the classic middle income trap. Thailand is failing to develop its human capital or move into new industries from its classic low / mid range car production (and hard discs.. entire sector fading away).. Etc.. It doesnt make chips, it has little to no tech manufacturing or software trade, it lacks the international language skills of PI or India and its now no longer 'low cost manufacturing' v indonesia / vietnam / etc.. How does Thailand fare v its neighbours over the next decade or two with that recipe ?? 

Its not that the country implodes its that this miss management is cumulative and loses ground over time. PI had twice the income of Thailand in the 50s.. And lost its way.. In contrast Thailand had a higher income and per capita GDP than S Korea into the mid even late 60s well after Korea had regained its pre war economy was in that position. Look at S Korea and Thailand now almost 40k USD p/c GDP v 7k USD !!
