As per the title, I would like to hire a bouncy castle and anything else kid party related for a young child's birthday party for a day time.

My gf already spoke to the bouncy castle guy at the local weekly market and his first question was "is a farang involved?' and "how much can you pay for the day?" which was an immediate turnoff and, to be frank, by the look of him I believe that I would be bouncy castle scammed at the end of the deal a la the Jet Ski scam ("there is jump damage and there are footprints all over it").

I've tried searching. Any reputable companies here? Or any alternative ideas?

Thank you.

To be honest I've not seen too many around but there is one in Big C Warin, they may be able to help.

Yep - I would have trawled the larger local weekly markets. Sri Rattana 40 k south of SiSaket on the highway to Kantharalak has one on Thursday evening and further down that road in Ban Phu Ngeung (50k south) is another one on Sundays. May all be the same guys of course.

Dont assume you are going to get ripped off all the time or you'll not enjoy Thailand - the price may sometimes be more for a farang but I'll bet it's a fraction of what you would pay in Farangland . Many tradesmen in my homeland charge by first assessing the wealth of the customer - it is not a Thai disease!

Appreciate the reply but I do not appreciate the assumption that I am going round look negatively at Thailand. I think if you read what I recently wrote in another thread in the Isaan forum I am clearly not biased in this way

And the point is, the price he pulled out of his ass was many times more than what I would be paying in "Farangland" and was purely gauged by the fact I was a farang. Once he established a farang was paying, the bouncy caste owner said "well, one time a farang paid me 4,000 to use it for a morning, so if you want it all day I want 10,000 baht". No logic behind this thought at all, he is just trying it on. A bettter bouncy castle in the UK would be £65 which is about 3,000 baht for the whole day, I was expecting it to be much less than 10k here in Isaan.

He charges 10 baht for each kid at that market and pays rent for the afternoon, do you think he gets more than 1,000 children playing on it in 4 hours??
