sandgroper2 Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 I know there has been writing on this before, but, with no success. I want to buy a powered wheelchair. Where can I buy one in Pattaya/BK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afarang Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 I have never seen one. I think you may have to import it. Like everything else, I believe they are made in China. I suggest you may well turn to Googling for them.Find out the cost and then find out how much Thai Customs ,want as a donation to their weekly whatever.

CWMcMurray Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 just as an fyi... I would not recommend importing an electric wheel chair into Thailand for your own use, as you would need to apply for import permit for medical equipment... and this can take a lot of time and effort. I would recommend going to the store advised by Mrjlh above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lefty Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Google ECOBRAND MOBILITY SCOOTERS THAILAND. I have one for a year and now would not be without it for shopping in large storeS and malls. After service is great. Lefty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
