koheesti Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Does anyone know where I could get a used plastic kayak? One of those 2-seaters they rent out at some resorts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbk Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 They are for sale on the mainland koheesti, not sure about Samui tho. Opposite the Makro in Surat Thani, there is a place that makes kayaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seville Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 Joy Sports in BKK supplies one shop in Samui and another on Phangan. If you go to the website you can check out what they have. Samui shop on the right hand side of the ring road in Maenam nearly to Nathon. Phangan in Bantai heading towards Thongsala on the right hand side of the road. Closer to Thongsala then Bantai proper. I think I might even have a business card at home. I'm at the libary right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is, however, a shop that sells new Feelfree kayaks in Baan Bang Makham. Coming from Maenam direction it is on the left hand side before Nathon. The OP is looking for used kayaks, so to him I would suggest to just walk the beaches until he finds a place with kayaks for rent. Maybe they would be willing to sell one.

Maybe they would be willing to sell one. That sounds like a good idea. They seem to be pretty common. I think I'll also rent one a few times just to make sure I would actually USE the kayak more than once. It looks like good exercise and that's something I really need.

frankman Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Wherever you buy a Kajak, make SURE they have rubberrings in ther opening lits. Take a boubleset with you. Somebodylike to loose them and then water gets in a ever heavier getting boat. Lots sinked here on KPG already and is always a new Kajak to buy.

Uros Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 There are a lot of places where the kayaks are just laying around unused unless it is super high season. They might want some positive cash flow. Especially a mom or a pop (or their son). You'll use the kayak if you have it. When the water looks good just jump in and go. By all means rent first to try it out. Unless the rental place is really very convenient and on the ball it will be a pain to go through that every time you want to go out on the water. It will take a few times of regular kayaking for your muscles to get accustomed to the paddling motion. Once they do, kayaking will be a breeze even in rougher, windier conditions.

koheesti Posted August 1, 2008 Author Share Posted August 1, 2008 The resort right next to me rents their 2-seater out for 150 baht/hour. It's close & pretty cheap. But if I get hooked and go out often enough then buying would probably be the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
