Hi Leebie

Srisaket is quite a fair sized city with the usual supermarkets and I suspect you will be able to get things locally. If not Surin is not that far and as its were I live, I know of many locations

in town for furniture. IQ Moderntrade is a very large DIY/Home-mart type of place thats quite good. We also have both Concept and Index stores selling furniture plus loads of different places for 'white' good.

Feel free to PM me, if I can be of further help.

p.s. I don't come from above the Thames BTW.

Leebie,

I am in Sisaket as well. I manufacture furniture but from your post not within the price range you want. As a guide if you are looking for the basic stuff then Bic C, Tescos and the like sell assembly yourself stuff very cheaply. Personally I think Index and the like stuff is much the same chipboard junk but over priced. The one thing your will have to hunt for is a decent mattress. Most Thai mattresses are as hard as a rock and even harder if you turn them over. I bought a foam mattress some eight years ago and it has been and still is very comfortable, it cost 1,600 baht. A decent mattress (inner spring) will cost your about 10,000 baht.

If your travelling via Surin then fine. If you want want a day trip from Sisaket then try Ubon. Many large furniture stores etc and only 60 odd Kms away. Try Big C in Sisaket for the cupboards etc...

Surin Concept, (which is near Thong Tarin Hotel) has the best matresses in Surin IMO, then Index but as Isaanaussie says they are 10/15k+ (but money well spent)

There's a good furniture shop in Sisaket just south of the Nona bar. Failing that the large store in Ubon (Ubon Pasidor ((sp)) has a large range - on the road from Warin to Ubon.

Ubon is about 40 minutes East of Sisaket. Here's a few of my favorites. http://bit.ly/9f3yiD
