Help! My eyes feel like raisens. I've checked the internet in every nook and cranny and can't seem to find out where I can get a papasan chair with cushion in this country. I'd preferably like to know of a place here in Phuket, but will spring for the shipping if it's coming from elsewhere in Thailand. Perhaps there's another name for these chairs in Thailand? I mean I'm pretty sure they were invented here.

I just want two for my new house, they are really the most comfortable things in the world!!

Great appreciation for any replies.

A picture might help to give an inkling of what your idea of a papasan chair is and thus cure your sore eyes more rapidly.

Makes me want to cuddle inside it right now!

I had mine made at the Kata Ratan shop, Patak Road, south end of Kata. I've also noticed them being sold at the side of main roads from back of pick-ups. For example on Chao Fa East, almost at Phuket Town, near the giant PTT gas station.

aren't they just the best!

God I love this forum!

Did you notice if the cushions were included with the chairs on Chao Fa East? Do you mind if I ask how much you paid for the custom made papasan? Thanks for your reply.

The one I had made in Kata was quite expensive, about 8,000 baht.... 12 years ago. But it's still in use, with cushion cover renewal every 5 years. The ones I've noticed by roadside are cheaper build, with cushion.

Great thank you for the info. Going to check it out today!

Yes they are! When I lived in San Francisco I didn't have a bed and I used this as my bed for quite some time. I always woke up from a great sleep. Just the other day I was at a tattoo shop that had two papasans outside the business for clients to relax on, listen to bossa nova, and look over the tattoo books, that was it, I was out like a light in a matter of minuets. That's when I knew I had to find one again (not for an actual bed this time).

Anyway the owner woke me up and I asked her where she got them and it was from a friend from a from who had them imported.

That's when the search was on to have my own!!
