Wooden Garden Furniture?

[negreanu]

Anyone know a decent place for good selection of wooden garden furniture: Large table and chairs with cushions, parasols, beds etc.

Visited place in soi 24 that had all the above but the prices were totally ridiculous even with so called "50%" sale.

I'm just curious here. What were the ridiculous prices? Do you remember a couple of examples? I have an interest in outdoor furniture as well and I am wondering what kind of prices they have for the wood type.

[sunsamourai]

you can have a look at the CDC (design center) on Raminthra. Google it.

several manufacturers for furniture, incl;uding garden.

there are a lot of places around that sell cheap rattan furniture which is suitable for outdoor purposes...

however, if in a small shop don't let them see yer falang face and let the thai missus/GF do the negotiating...once on the way to the airport to leave on assignment we passed a small shop on the 340 hwy north of BKK that had just what I was looking for displayed out front; they saw me coming and I paid thru the nose...but it was 'must have'...

on reflection, shoulda sent the wife around later to do the purchase...probably woulda saved 50%...

Depends what your looking for... only last week stopped at the roadside to buy fruit, looked at 2 stalls along, they had large solid wood table all different shapes, and 4 arm wood chairs 6,500 - 7,500 baht. also benh type arm chairs...... The sort that most Thais have, rustic and very nice in my veiw.

Over the years have often seen places by the side of the road selling them just never looked at the price before..

cushions, cheap and easy to have the sewing lady make them, buy foam + fabric from the market, otherwise couple of weeks ago 'Home Pro' had the large one on offer @ 199 baht.

No idea on parasols or beds, in the Village a number of Thaies have parasols cannot see them paying totally ridiculous prices

Sukhumvit 24 prices started at 28000 for 6-8 seater table and chairs after their 50% sale. Parasol (wooden, white canvas top) started at 13500 after discount

Try Bang Po area - Pratchrat Sai 1 / Soi 24; a long soi full of reasonably priced wood furniture.

Seems like at least once if not twice each Month in Bangkok at one of the three major "event" or exhibition venues they hold a "Furniture Fair" or "Furniture Show". I've attended a few and there are always some vendors with outdoor patio type furniture. All three venues have web sites that list the various events in English. Most do not have an admission fee.

Here is just one example of a show in March at Impact:

with over 190 exhibitors and 860 booths you can look in advance of some of the vendors information

Mickey is right. By far the best place to buy wood furnitures in Bangkok. It is a 2 km long one way street. Ask for Suwat in the first BIG shop at your left hand side. He speaks good English. Check out the rest of the street, lots of good stuff there.

Okay. Thanks for that.

Is it cheaper to get it in Chiang Mai? Many have recommended this, but seems such a hassle. How much can you really save???
