masuk Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 I've tried numerous supermarkets etc, but they all seem to treat their zillions of cartons/boxes as if they're a vanishing species. I've no doubt these are all sold to the van with the scales at the back, but how do I get to buy any? Not beer cartons - something bigger and sturdier.) any ideas?

BuddhaMind Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 there's a guy that sells only cardboard boxes on suthep road. if you are coming from the mote, going up suthep road, go past canel road and he will be a little further up on your right. he's kind of in the middle of food vendors, so he'll stick out at you. hope this helps.

harrry Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 (edited) May be worth thinking about doing what we did. bought half a dozen of those plastic bins with lids from Macro. They cost a couple of hundred baht each but they hold a lot securely and make good storage bins now. Edited June 10, 2013 by harrry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARISTIDE Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 (edited) Go in there they have some new boxes of several sizes ( the shop is inside not the front shops just asking around for boxes for flower) 18.809529,99.008703 Edited June 10, 2013 by ARISTIDE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elektrified Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 there's a guy that sells only cardboard boxes on suthep road. if you are coming from the mote, going up suthep road, go past canel road and he will be a little further up on your right. he's kind of in the middle of food vendors, so he'll stick out at you. hope this helps. His prices are beyond stupid for used boxes. If you go to the Thai markets they will sell you boxes by the kilo and not per piece. You choose the boxes yourself. We buy a kilo for 50 THB at 2 different Thai markets (plastic shops). If you buy them new, a large box will cost you 25-35 THB each! Makro, Rimping, Tops, etc. all contract with people. They give all their boxes to guys who sit there for hours until their trucks are fully loaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highonthai Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 You might try to stop by a recycle shop and buy the boxes from them. That's what Iv'e done in the past. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lsk Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Empty Beer boxes for 5 baht each from any mom and pop shop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samuijimmy Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 (edited) I just got a whole bunch of various sized boxes, (large and small) for moving, from my local Honda Motorbike shop... Gave the guy who helped load 50 baht.... (suggested by the owner) That saved a lot of running around! Might be worth asking at your local Honda shop or other bike shop for that matter Edited June 11, 2013 by samuijimmy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
market trader Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 When we moved last year we were able to buy all the boxes we needed from Rimping Nim City. 10 bahts per kilo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masuk Posted June 11, 2013 Author Share Posted June 11, 2013 Thanks for all the advice everyone. I've just had a nice heap of new cartons dropped at the house by 'Chiang Mai movers', who will move house and I'll return the boxes when I've unpacked everything..

Help a brother out. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
