Pattaya or Bangkok for living room furniture please?

[Scouse123]

I am asking here because where I live up in Isaarn it is near impossible to find decent living room furniture in particular leather sofas and chairs, even fabric if decent quality would be great! I have Googled many up here in the North East and quality and choice are simply dreadful, and what I consider poor value for money.I have checked Global, Homepro, index, these are not the quality nor have the choice or range that I want.

 

I never had this problem living in Pattaya which had an abundance of such stores. Decorum I found got expensive around 2005, I don't know if it still is, but there were plenty others whose name escapes and obviously plenty more which have opened since I left.

 

Can anybody who has bought a good quality sofa set / three piece suite in Pattaya or Bangkok at what they consider value for money and good workmanship, let me know here preferably with a link.

 

I really would appreciate it from guys who have bought, seen or had a friend tell them, from either of these two cities. Sometimes in life, you can't beat a personal recommendation, as online 5 star reviews can be bought or faked.

Are they in Pattaya / Bangkok?

 

I will google them. Links would be great but I'll give it a try.

You won’t beat the quality. If long term well worth prices. It’s in bangna.

I tend to buy at Index in Pattaya. A very good selection on their first floor. Would they deliver to the North East though?

Check out Chic Republic in Pattaya (on Sukhumvit between Tai and Thepprasit) or online - they have quality old school traditional type furniture. If you want quality but  a more modern design, try Boontavon and Index on Sukhumvit (near Homepro, between Klang and Nua).

 

I've furnished my place from a combination of Index (sofas and a bedroom suite, and their Italia range for built-in wardrobes), Chic Republic (modern glass/stainless steel coffee table, a rug which they arranged to get specially made to my size requirements), Eurovision for a custom designed kitchen, and Boonthavorn for random furniture and bathroom cabinetry.

    My partner and I find that Bangkok has a much larger selection--even when it comes to store brands.  Example:  The Boonthavorn store in Pattaya has a small lighting section on the first floor and part of the second floor is devoted to Lifestyle furniture.  Compare that to the Boonthavorn store we go to in Bangkok.  It has 3 large separate buildings with Lighting and Lifestyle furniture having their own buildings. There's a lot more on display to choose from.  The same goes for SB Furniture--better selection and presentation in Bangkok.

    Pattaya does have the mentioned Decorum and also Index, BoConcept, Chic Republic, and some others.  I haven't been in the new Mega Furniture yet.  Chic Republic seems to have some independent brands within the store--we bought a high-quality leather sofa that was in sort of a separate section on the second floor.  

    I think Bangkok also has more choices if you want to go custom--several years ago we had a custom sofa made for one of our condo renovations.  We found the furniture maker at one of the furniture shows at Impact.  We also use a Bangkok company (also found at an Impact show) to do our custom kitchen cabinets, armoires, bath vanities, work spaces, etc.  Custom can often cost no more, or not much more, than buying off the shelf--and you get exactly what you want.    At JJ Market there are some interesting smaller stores in the back area with some beautiful furniture for sale.  Some of them would, I think, also do custom work.

What nice wonderful replies from the posters above.  Very helpful folks.  While not really a place for furnishings, the Thai store next to the Ruen Thai restaurant on second road in Pattaya had a lot of traditional Thai decor furnishings. Things I could imagine furnishing my retirement home in the USA with, to remind me of Thailand.  I always take a browse through there.

Thank you people, I have now another four or five places to consider that I didn't know about.

 

With online being a necessity shopping these days, I will spend a day or so browsing them all to get the most suitable.

 

I may as well keep my brain active and upgrade the house and decor as little chance of getting to the UK this year with all the flip flops.

Bought mine at the La-z-boy place on Sukhumvit 31 in Bangkok. SB Design Bang Na has some nice stuff
