Wheel Chair, Where Can I Buy

[raymp]

I want to buy a wheel chair or a walker.

I am in central BKK.

Does anyone know of a shop that sells these things.

Many medical equipment sold in front of Siriraj hospital at reasonable price. You may try silom area where a few pharmacies carry those (between silom and suriyawongse intersection on rama 4)

or if just a normal wheelchair as said most pharmacies carry those even the ones in Supermarkets.

The wife's father has just had a stroke, so had to take the misses to buy a Wheel chair, I think most hospitals have a shop or at least some sort of brochure where you can order them, If i remember rightly, think they payed about 3500baht for one

[Amusements]

On Thanon Samsen road (Same road the Prince lives on) There is a row of medical shops, I remember seeing one with wheelchairs outside.

Yesterday we were in Asoke and went into a pharmacy, a wheel chair in there was 8500 baht.

I bit expensive I thought.

Then we went to a big pharmacy near sukhumvit soi 4

my (thai) wife went in alone.

Same chair in there for 4000 baht.

I presume the 8500 baht in the asoke pharmacy was farang price.

A hospital is the obvious place to look.

One in Silom has chairs for 2000 baht.

Thanks for all the input
