Hammocks

[pomchop]

Does anyone know a place in CR where you can buy good quality hammocks? Looking for something more substantial than the flimsy ones that you often see....bigger and stronger.

Thanks for input.

I've only seen the cheap ones in Big C Pomchop, have you tried HomePro?

I looked at the old home pro but not the new one yet. I was just in Pai and the bungalow there had some great ones designed to hold heavier falangs....tried to figure out where they bought them...as best as I could determine apparently they got them somewhere in CM but never could figure out where exactly.

The ones in Pai are obviously hand made and use some kind of twisted cord covered in plastic that seems as if it could easily handle falang weights and being out in the weather...that's what I am hoping to find.

I saw some hammocks at the chiang mai rock climbing adventures store (CMRCA). it's in the old town. Near Dada Kafe. I don't remember the address exactly because the free map I was given had an ad and it was marked on there. I didn't really look at the price, but they are made from old parachutes. I have owned two ENO's and they are by far some of the best hammocks I have ever owned. I have had 4 adults sitting on a two person hammock. (I do a lot of hammock camping). I splurged before I came here and ordered a Hennessey Hammock (it comes with a mosquito net built into it). But I have seen some cool home made mosquito nets made for ENO's. I could tell you more about that if you were interested.

I suspect you want something to pitch and forget so it's probably not what your looking for but Tammila Guesthouse in Chiang Khong sell a very good quality 'backpacking' type hammock. Type 'Siam Hammock' into facebook and you can get the info.

I also recall seeing the string type hammocks for sale on the main road just up from Tammila but not sure if they are still there..

I guess you could pitch the siam Hammock permanently if it was shaded so the Sun didn't Kill it

Looking for very heavy duty type hammock for home use.
