MamaSan Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Anybody know where to find in CM? It's a kind of walking stick with a T shaped handle, breaks down to 2 pieces and kinda looks like bamboo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

naboo Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Search on here for 'Burmese Trekking sticks' (assuming they're the same things), there was a thread a few months ago and many places came up. I think they sell them at Pirates Cove opposite the Anodard Hotel on Rachamanka Road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think that one of the creators of the original one, did pass aways some time ago. But if you are able to get in touch with, or know someone who is able to get in touch with Mr. Dennis, you might be able to track down quite a few of them Been some time back..... so may no longer be around G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulysses G. Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 How soon they forget our most cherished local heroes. Born London, 1910 As a schoolboy - overweight, few friends, poor student, non-athletic yet polite, called 'Hillpiggy' by the staff. Harrow, 1928. Sent down from Oxford for indecency, 1930. Unsuccessfully stood for parliament, as an independent from the small constituency of Looting on the Thames, finishing fourth in a field of three, 1934. Alcoholic, 1935. Published at his own expense an angry and spirited collection of short essays entitled, Sticks and Stones, 1936. Alcoholic again, 1937. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinnieTheKhwai Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 (edited) Here you go: http://www.teaklimey...gstick.asp?in=1 Hope this link will just be considered helpful; Last time I posted a link that was a direct answer to something people enquired about it earned me another warning level increase. :/ (you never know.. who knows who might pop up next and consider it advertising or whatever and send me on a holiday. ) Edited April 19, 2011 by WinnieTheKhwai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And don't forget the McDougall Nut And Bolt Mechanism designed by a very close friend of the Sir JHPS. I think you'll still find them at the Kafe on Moonmuang Road.

Flatouthruthefog Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 <br />Search on here for 'Burmese Trekking sticks' (assuming they're the same things), there was a thread a few months ago and many places came up. I think they sell them at Pirates Cove opposite the Anodard Hotel on Rachamanka Road.<br /><br /><br /><br />The originator, brilliant marketing man Brad Harper, called it a trekking 'stick', not a cane, despite being an American. It is now made locally by 2 people to whom Brad left the 'rights' and who do not compete with each other. Dennis Brown and Colin Penberthy. PM me with your own e-address and I can put you on touch. I have no business relationship with either, but it is a great product with a fascinating history all its own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cindy is back in the US and doing well, we communicate often. Brad was the founder of the Bombay Company in New Orleans back in 1978 and was a self made millionaire at 24 yrs of age. Unfortunately he lost it all in a rather short time. He and Cindy arrived in Chiang Mai in the early 1990's where they set up a small company that produced amoung other things the Sir Jeffrey Hillpig-Smythe Burmese Army Trekking Stick.
