gennisis Posted June 1, 2011 Author Share Posted June 1, 2011 After 'goggling' wind chimes I just didnt know how expensive they could be. Wind Chimes 'tuned' to produce melodies...gregorian chants...amazing grace....... made to suit the 'harmony' of your house....baritone...soprano....temple drums.... Manufactured from 'tuned'tubes of metal,wood,ceramic etc etc. And all I wanted was a pleasing 'tinkle'.....and the prices !!! Can you imagine paying $400 for one?? Guess I can do without Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfokevin Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 There was a place next to the Tesco by the Plant market - But it is no longer there. If you can get out to Ban Tawai Wood Market - There is a large stall with all kinds of them at great prices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmsally Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 There used to be a place at the Night Bazaar (on main street)- bottom of steps of main Night Bazaar building near Tourist police booth. It was definitely there a couple of months ago but not sure now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJW Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 The ones with the longest tubes usualy sell for about 300 baht. In Mae Sai they average about 250 baht for the ling ones. At the hotsprings on hiway 118 they asked 650 baht from me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess I can do without Indeed some can cost $400.00 or more, but probably not in C.M. I have a set made of solid brass that are all tuned. They were a gift and were in that price range. I see them all over here but but have not paid much attention to them. I don't think they are very expensive at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orang37 Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Sawasdee Khrup, Khun Gennisis, Yes, have seen many shops with wind-chimes ... in a variety of materials: ceramic, metal, wood ... in Kam Tian Market, which is the one to the side, and back, of the Tesco Lotus on the Superhighway (first ring road). ... as of six months ago ... you may need to cruise around that market to find them, however. Would be extremely surprised if you don't find several shops carrying them now. best, ~o:37; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidOxon Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 There's a shop in Ban Tawai that has absolutely hundreds of them! David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beetlejuice Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 (edited) There is a little man that sells them at the rear of the big 7 day a week market in Sanpatong, the market located behind the seven eleven shop. He has one of those open fronted shops that sell hardware, tools and so on. You will see the wind chimes hanging up at the front. These are the real deal large wind chimes (if you like big ones that is, I know I do) and he sells them for 220 baht. Bought 4 myself from him over the last couple of years, because I prefer the constant ringing in my ears from having to listen to the irritating voice of my girlfriend. Oh yes, almost forgot, he also sells some beautiful ceremonial ornamental swords that fit into wooden patterned sleeves. If you’re into that sort of thing, that is.
