As you come from Surin you will reach a set of traffic lights TURN LEFT towards Korat

You will then come to a BIG ELEPHANT MONUMENT go all around this take the 3rd exit towards the University

At the end of this road is a small roundabout take 2nd exit and about 40 yards up there is a furniture store on the right hand side..

In Khon Kaen is Index.

It is near of Lotus, about 500 meters south on Highway 2. Big yellow sign on its roof.

Index is not cheap but has excellent quality. Also lots of farang sizes. Very much ruh rah.

Yes, was talking with the wife, she said we went there, it was OK, just did not have what we were looking for. We went to Bangkok the 1st of the month, they had a furniture fair going on, and we found leather sofa there we like, so......... maybe back to Bangkok.

Five years ago I furnished my house using SB furniture. Five years on the furniture is still excellent so I would say SB is very good quality stuff providing that you look after it of course, like anything.

Went there today, the corner as you turn to the FC and bus station. Brought some items, but still wanting a nice leather sofa, will check Buriram and Korat, if not there it will be Bangkok.

Thanks for all the help.

If trying Bangers, go to MBK, some amazing furniture there, cheap to mega bucks, some really nice leather sofas, no crap

[MJP]

MBK!!! These prices seem high. Very high.

Have a look upcountry. Hand made stuff. I only know this area, Roi-Et mind.

I stupidly let the 'purchasing manager' go into one of those Koncept stores. 8000 for a glass table thing and four 'orrible chairs. 21,000 for a wardrobe and a bed. Got a good deal on sofas, 10,000 each (but I ordered them).

Any, she's been fired.

Now I do the furniture shopping and came up with that teak table and six stools for 7000 Baht. Little home based workshop in the next village. Can make anything to a very high standard. One off pieces. Great!

For wall hangings etc, you could try Chokchai. Fantastic place. Hundreds of real OTOP vendors. A 2.5m x 2m coloured tile wall hanging thing, 2000 Baht. Big clay fired vases for 300 Baht. Lot's and lot's of dreadful tacky stuff too, but spend a day picking over it all and haggling a bit, it's fun.

[Thaicoon]

Depends what you looking for, i used to ship the Rosewood furniture from bangers, and other teak stuff from chaing mai, han dong to the UK, mind you i bought at trade, as was filling 40 footers at the time, but the leather stuff is not badley priced, i agree with you MJP, you can buy nice teak stuff around Roi et and buriram, have a look at the street markets they lay on some days, you will find nice stuff there at good prices.

Yep.

Going to pop over to them again tomorrow to make my office.

They did two teak coffee tables 600x900 in 2" thick slab with that tree stump leg thing like on the big one there (only smaller of course) for . . . 1500 Baht each.

I put the TV on one and my feet up on the other.

[wildoates]

Thanks will check out the Teak items.

[MJP]

Thanks will check out the Teak items.

Don't buy in the city at big places.

I bought direct from a wee little fella that makes them. What I bought for 7000 the big shop wanted 15-17,000!!!

PM me if you like, I'm near Roi-Et.

[wildoates]

The wife knows a a little village here that makes that type of furnture, about the same price. Will keep you in mind if it is not true.

Would you let me know what you find? I love this stuff and I've a bedroom to do yet as well as the office. Would be nice to see if different styles are available.

Cheers

Hardly local, but always worth a visit to Phrae, well over a Km each side of the main highway selling loads of teak. Slung what I could in the back of the pickup, they posted the rest to me! One each, a two & three door solid teak wardobe, 32,000b the pair, 1,500b postage, saving me the 6,000b tax on them. Also Hang Dong near Cm, but they've become very pricey recently. And no, not from Chiang mai but Udon, well worth the trip, 7yrs ago now and not even a sticky door!

As i say in a previous post, Hang Dong, Chaing mai was cheap and good quality stuff, i was shipping 1, 40 foot container a month when things were good, stopped doing it about 5 to 6 years ago, bet they are struggling up there these days with the exchange rate as it is.

I still have 150 cartwheels stored in Buriram.
