drtreelove 1139 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 For Dean1953:聽 Regarding your PM question about a Honda lawn mower in Chiang Mai, I'm posting here in case others are interested.聽聽 聽 I stopped at the CM Sriyont equipment shop today to check on Honda mowers for you:聽 聽 They have several models on the floor, but the two best 21" rotary models with grass catchers, in my opinion:聽 聽 1. Rowell聽 4-wheel push frame and Honda motor. 15,800 2. Honda frame and motor, top of the line, power driven rear wheels: 29,800 (comparible to your Buriram quote and avoids the shipping cost) 聽 Other models, including ride-ons can be ordered.聽 聽 I highly recommend this shop for purchases聽and their excellent service/repair dept. Pumps, sprayers, bladed brush cutters, garden grinders and other equipment. The owner/manager is Khun Nueng, fluent English and knowledgeable on equipment. One sales lady also speaks ok English and both are very helpful.聽 聽 Chiangmai Sriyont聽Part.,Ltd. Dealer HDE ; 288/1 Charoenraat Rd., Tambon Watket, Amphoe Muang,聽Chiang Mai聽路 50000 路 053-424427 路聽 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
In the jungle 1672 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Honda HRJ216 is the best mower you can buy in Thailand. 聽 Anything less than 1 rai maybe choose something cheaper. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean1953 33 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Thanks Dr. Treelove. 聽 聽I鈥檝e been messaging Buriam for 2 months. I didn鈥檛 realize until last fall that Husqvarna has gotten out of the push mower business. 聽I鈥檝e also been corresponding with Husqvarna in Bangkok over whether they can supply parts for my 2006 Husqvarna and have that one fixed to keep as a spare. They also gave me the name of a shop in Chiangmai that works on Husqvarna mowers. 聽聽 I would really prefer to buy a honda lawn mower locally, where I can drop it off for repairs if necessary. I get back on February 16 for 3 weeks and plan on going by Sriyont to buy the J216 and possibly a trimmer, if the one in my garage can鈥檛 be fixed. Now, I just have to find someone locally that is willing to cut my grass in Bosang.聽 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean1953 33 Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 I leave for Chiangmai in a week. Coming from my house in Bosang, is this shop just before I would cross the Ping river, to the right? 聽If so, they worked on the first Used Honda mower that I bought 20 years ago. I鈥檓 curious if honda dealerships in Thailand offer the same warranty offered in the U.S.? 聽I鈥檒l probably buy it regardless but would feel better turning a brand new lawn mower to a neighbor while I鈥檓 in the U.S. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to hire someone to monthly spray my teak house for termites. I鈥檒l finish the painting, which should take about a week. I may work on the lawn, although I won鈥檛 try to kill the weeds and bad grass until I move back permanently. I may try to do a small area behind the house 聽 It won鈥檛 cost much or take much time 聽The house will look nice when my wife and 2 of our children come over this summer. I stay at home to watch what my step son does and make sure he doesn鈥檛 burn the house down smoking in bed (and having parties). Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somewhat.聽 If you come in from San Kamphaeng on the 1006 and cross the 11 (superhwy) you will be on Charoeng Muang Rd. Continue straight and turn right on Charoeng Rat (106, the road along the East side of the river). Go north past Goodview on left, Wat Ket Karam on right, and pass through the next major intersection which is Kaeonawarat Rd. Sriyont is on the right in that stretch before Rattanakosin Rd. Can't miss it. Ask for Khun Neung the owner /manager, he'll fill you in on warranty. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
