dsfbrit Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 I have been trying to buy a 'baby gate' for the bottom of the stairs. One of those gates that prevents a child from climbing up the stairs but can be opened by adults. I thought it would be a simple process, but after trips to Big C, Homeworks, Homepro etc... I just get blank looks from the staff and they have no idea where I can get one. So could anyone here please suggest a place??? Thanks for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripstanley Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Make one yourself or get someone to do it for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaam local Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Don't know about Pattaya but when I was living in Bangkok I could only find one in Central Chidlom and it was ridiculously expensive. By the time I was done searching and I had made up my mind to have one done by a local carpenter, my kid had already fallen down the stairs! He didn't get hurt, but he got the message and we never had to use a baby gate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikster Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Labor and wood are cheap, get somebody to make one for you. Thats what we did, we got a beautiful (and heavy duty it should be said) gate for about bht 1000... I think this is not very popular in Thailand because in Thailand somebody is either holding or looking after a child at all times.... Which isnt a bad idea either...

prk888 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 we bought ours in Central, Bang Na. They were available (about 1 year ago) in Central Festival Pattaya. and the baby shop on corner of Sukhumvit and Chaiyapruk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsfbrit Posted May 28, 2012 Author Share Posted May 28, 2012 Thanks to you all for your quick feedback. Chaam Local - err I like your style - I could try that as well - much cheaper and less hassle . Yes I know I could make one myself, I do all my own maintenance and repair, but at the moment I am already involved in enough work in the garden and house and just thought that going and buying a gate and maybe drilling a couple of holes would be a 'relaxing' short-cut. I will try those places you suggested prk888 - if no luck then I will get my saw out!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saengsureeya Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Try IKEA ........ I know that they are on offer in the Family shop together with other safety items for kids/toddlers. http://www.ikea.com/th/en/catalog/categories/departments/childrens_ikea/16249-2/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PattayaParent Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 we bought ours in Central, Bang Na.

dsfbrit Posted May 29, 2012 Author Share Posted May 29, 2012 Saengsureeya - thanks for the link, PayttayaParrent thanks for the address. I will check out the Brown Farm shop tomorrow - I have to say though that if its a similar price to Ikea, then I think I will make it myself out of wood as I should have finished all the work in the garden by the weekend anyway. Thanks again for the feedback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seadoo Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Try a Facebook page called baby bargains it is a local expat site where expats can post baby items they don't need anymore or you can add a wanted. Other than that you could also do the same on the TV Classifieds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
