pattayadingo Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I am wanting to buy a foot pump to pump up my car tyres on occasion. Does anyone know where I can buy one, please, as I have not seen any as yet. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gone Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I am almost sure that Big-C and Lotus both sell them. I remember buying them there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsieurhappy Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Let us know if you find a "good" one as normally they stop working after you have paid! The last foot pump I bought fell apart the first time I used it. Then I bought one of the long hand pumps you hold down with your feet. It worked for a while but if you pulled up too hard the cap came off and you had the fiddly job of getting the plunger back inside. The battery operated ones are not too expensive and work OK for a couple of years but like everything here the climate detererates the rubber parts unless you keep in cool, dry conditions.

LennyW Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Market at Huay Yai on a Friday has them, i think most markets have them where there is a tool stall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pattayadingo Posted April 4, 2012 Author Share Posted April 4, 2012 Thanks guys. Comments noted too. I'll look at the electric ones as well. Maim reason for asking is that I have used 2 garages and twice have lost hub caps and they cost 1200 Baht for 4. presume they did not tap the hub caps into place properly. Means I'll have to check each time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have rarely had air put in the tyres without them being removed here even though I make sure the valve is lined up with the correct notch. I use LPG and have not yet found an LPG station with an air line. Also many garages seem to have no air line or have one that does not work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gone Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 I have never seen a gas station in Thailand that does NOT have self serve air either at the pumps themselves (small tank) or at the side of the station. Never been to an LPG however just pull into any Shell or any petrol station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anto Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Air foot pumps are a waste of money .( they break quickly and are a lot of effort to use in the heat) .Better to get the electric motor one which works off the cigarette lighter . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
