Here in Chiangrai? yes central plaza chiang rai...far end of robinsons away from rest of the mall at the back escalators on the ground floor right where the glass doors open into the covered parking lot....has been there for a while unless they closed it up...had a bunch of tents set up and backpacks and looked like lot of camping stuff but i didn't really check in much detail...most places in usa that sell tents always have some waterproofing spray stuff also...again not sure re CR but maybe worth a look...

One could always do it Thai style and leave the plastic on the sofa or chair when it is delivered. Then again one could stop it at the source by trying an adult diaper.

February 14, 201214 yr We have sheets on ours because the dog considers the sofa and chairs his personal domain. There's always a dispute over who gets the one directly in front of the TV.

We bought a new car, I saw they had forgot to take the plastic film off the chrome, I mean all the chrome, inside and out. I committed a serious error by starting to take it off!!!! You would have thought I took a dump in the back seat!!! My new office chair, as I type this, has plastic over it. I fought vigorously and was allowed to remove it from the seat and only the seat.Can tell VF has been here a while

I took the power usage sticker off our fridge and nearly had to send it back and get a replacement.
March 9, 201214 yr We have the "Mattress Tag" Police in Canada. Have to be cautious about those tags!!!!
March 9, 201214 yr Author Just in case some one needs to know. Found my Scotchgard at Central Department store, automotive dept., in Kad Suan Kaew CM. 330Bt? Whoops! the price was 256bt not 330 as above. Whoops again. Turns out the real price was 320 and I accidentally got a discount. Also I checked US prices and it's actually about the same. Go figure. No big deal... but to be accurate.
