Saan Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Can anyone please tell me if folding chairs with arm rests are available in Chiang Mai. The type I am looking for comes in a carrying bag. It will come in handy when there are no seats about and Thais gently sink to the ground leaving this stiff kneed falang standing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellodolly Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 The Archery center at star bowl has camping equipment they might have some suitable camp chairs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masuk Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 I've seen these advertised in Chiang Mai, but not sure where. I'm sure someone will know. They're reasonably cheap as I remember, a bit more than the Made in China ones sold in Australia. They are a good idea, as I also cannot squat on a beach or lawn any more!

craigt3365 Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 I got mine here in Pattaya at Tesco. I've also seen them at some sports stores, specifically SuperSports. Not sure if they are in CM though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiniyeow Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 I've bought a couple in Chiang Mai and they both broke, very cheap tubing used for the chairs. One was purchased in a sporting store in Central Plaza (forget the store name) and the other was actually in a small electronic shop just East of Computer City in Icon Square I believe.

You are right on! My friends bought some, not sure where, and they bent under the first time used. Mine are quite sturdy, no problems with bending.

jollyrog Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 On occasion Lotus, Hang Dong road carry them in the camping supplies dept. And the other poster is correct.........they are built for Thai people, not heavy weights. Over the years I have bought several there. Very convenient for outdoor events.

Never had a problem with mine, but then I 'm a slim 70 kg Or maybe you're the same as my brother, who has a habit of "throwing himself" into chairs Btw, these chairs have got to be the most comfortable outdoor chairs you can buy. Beat the teak garden furniture easily. And come with glass/can/bottle holder in the armrest Edited May 10, 2013 by MESmith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see these chairs advertised on the internet with guarantees of up 160kg. I definitely don't need that by a chair that will support a bit over 100kg would be handy. There are plenty of suitable ones advertised on the internet but the delivery charges are murder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
