Okay all you back ache sufferers, Does anyone know where you can possibly buy an inexpensive eggcrate or foam rubber padding for my bed. I am having some lower back problems and the mattress I am sleeping on is very hard. Back in the U.S I have an inexpensive eggcrate foam rubber padding that I put on top of my mattress and I am looking for something similar in Chiang Mai. I went to Kad San Kauew Mall and Robinsons Dept Store had a memory foam mattress but I don't want to spend 7000 baht. In the U.S eggcrate or cheap foam rubber 1 inch or so padding can be obtained very inexpensively and if anyone knows who might carry them my back and me would be most appreciated.

Yes, the OP doesn't want to spend 7,000 baht so 6,899 would probably be just fine. smile.png

You seemed to have turned a common cause for backache on its head.

It was my understanding for all my life that soft beds cause or aggravate backache because they don't give support.

I remember my father putting a sheet of ply under the mattress, and I spent many a night sleeping on the floor when I suffered.

The idea is to keep the spine straight isn't it?

Maybe your bed is actually ok and you get backache slouching over riding a motorbike....I do.

I too was told that when you buy a mattress, always go for the best you can afford. In relation to a topper pad, there are many shops but the place Ive gone to is on Chang Moi Rd (1 way street). From the moat it is about 200 metres on the right. Its on a corner.

Good luck

But that does not include shipping yet, so....blink.png

Just thought I would let the OP know about Latex Innovations, as many of their products have helped people with poor mattresses and back aches.

I for one do not count pennies when it comes to my health.

But then also, you ARE latex inovations .

Good shout Kiwi-I think the place you refer to is a big corner shop called Peenang. Good choice of toppers and mattresses. I paid about 2500 for a 5' I think and they delivered free same day to Mae Jo, along with some pillows and sheets. That price was a firm but not hard topper which suits me perfectly, and I thought, better for the back than a softer topper. But if you get served there by 'I hate my job' just go talk to someone else! One of the owners is usually around and very helpful.

Yes latex is a good product, dont get me wrong. The mattress we have was originally priced at 80k baht, but on special at 15k baht. Very good support without being too firm.

Cant say Ive ever slept on a kitchen table but I have seen many locals in East Timor, Papua New Guinea and like places, sleep anywhere and everywhere including on a single piece of 2x4 lumber. It maybe good for their back but doesnt appear to have been beneficial as 'beauty sleep' if you get my drift.

Each to their own I expect.

Have a great weekend..... Sausage King beckons for lunch biggrin.png

      Woman Arrested After Fleeing Police with Hand Grenade in Loei Province

      Pictures courtesy of Khaosod. A 39-year-old woman was arrested after a high-speed escape from a military checkpoint in Tha Li district, with authorities later discovering a live MK2 hand grenade, hidden in nearby undergrowth. The woman claimed she was carrying the weapon for self-defence. The incident occurred at dawn near the Phra Metta checkpoint in Ban Ahee, where a patrol by the 2102 Paramilitary Ranger Company of the 21st Ranger Regiment was inspecting vehicles. When officers flagged down a female motorcyclist for inspection, she suddenly accelerated and fled the scene. Security personnel immediately initiated pursuit and contacted police at Tha Li Police Station to assist in the operation. The chase ended at an unnumbered residence in the Ban Chonprathan area, where the suspect, identified as Ms. Kornwipha was apprehended. A search of the property and area, led officers to a bundle wrapped in paper hidden in tall grass, inside was a military-grade MK2 fragmentation grenade. Under questioning, Ms. Kornwipha admitted ownership of the grenade and said she had purchased it from a neighbouring country for personal protection. However, police remain sceptical and are investigating whether she has any links to drug trafficking networks along the border. The suspect and the grenade were taken into custody and handed over to investigators at Tha Li Police Station for further legal proceedings. Adapted by Asean Now from Khaosod 2025-06-05

      Thailand Chooses Swedish Gripen Jets Over US F-16s

      Gripen JAS 39. File photo courtesy of Wikipedia The Royal Thai Air Force has announced plans to acquire 12 advanced Gripen JAS 39 fighter jets from Sweden's Saab over a decade. This decision comes after the air force chief, ACM Punpakdee Pattanakul, highlighted the strategic benefits over the US-made F-16s. The first procurement phase is set for this August, with a budget of 19.5 billion baht (approximately 20.9 billion Thai Baht). The air force's top brass expressed a preference for the Gripens due to their potential governmental advantages. Earlier this year, the Thai Air Force transformed a Songkhla road into an emergency landing strip for a Gripen jet, underscoring its operational readiness. Saab's CEO, Micael Johansson, expressed enthusiasm for Thailand's decision, asserting that the Gripen E/F models are the ideal choice for Thailand's future aerial capabilities. Thailand's shift to Swedish aircraft comes despite its historical military ties with the United States. Originally, Thailand was eyeing eight of America's advanced F-35 fighter jets. However, Washington refused the sale, citing concerns over training and technical requirements for maintenance compatibility. The Gripen's proposed benefits appear to align strongly with Thailand’s defence objectives, offering independent airpower capabilities. Although no contract has been signed yet, Saab remains committed to advancing the procurement process. This marks a significant step for Thailand, as the nation balances between its traditional alliances and practical defence needs. Thailand is designated a Major Non-NATO Ally by the US, a status reaffirmed in 2023, yet the decision to pass on the F-35 jets reflects the complexities in defence cooperation. The United States continues to reserve F-35 sales for its closest partners in the Indo-Pacific region. Adapted by ASEAN Now from Bangkok Post 2025-06-04
