So now i decided to do iT myselves, but for this i need a step ladder as there are parts 4 m high Could someone tell me where i could rent a step ladder.?

CNXBKKMAN Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 I would try the neighbours or ask the security who has one. If you are paying I am sure one will be found. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post stoneyboy Posted May 31, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted May 31, 2014 (edited) It never ceases to amaze me what people want to rent or buy here 2nd hand,when the cost of a new one is so little,800 baht will buy you one to finish that all important painting job so you can sell your property and recoup your 800 baht step ladder expense.

NancyL Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 (edited) Surely there's a village handyman who would rent his to you. Some people make this more complicated than it needs to be. One of our neighbors in the condo building made a big deal out of buying a top-of-the-line power drill. It's a big deal to buy power tools when you rent a condo. He told Hubby if he ever needed a hole drilled he'd come and do it for him. Note: Hubby couldn't borrow the drill, but Neighbor would come and operate his drill (for a beer, of course). Trouble is that Neighbor travels most of the year. We have the key to his place to watch for water leaks, etc but Neighbor specifically said "don't use my drill" (he's really proud of the da_n thing) We discovered the condo handyman will come after work and drill a hole anywhere we want with his personal power drill for a 20 baht tip -- much cheaper than giving Neighbor a beer for his services.

CNXBKKMAN Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Cheaper than paying 2000 baht plus for a decent drill too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NancyL Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 (edited) Cheaper than paying 2000 baht plus for a decent drill too. Probably explains why Neighbor won't let his friend Hubby touch the drill. Also, since the average condo owner gets to drill about 6 holes a year, he just wants the fun of using it in his neighbors condos. Come to think of it, I've been on Hubby's case to buy a little hook to put inside a cabinet in the bathroom for me to hang up the blow dryer so it doesn't clutter the inside of that cabinet. Hmm.... maybe I should just wait until Neighbor returns in (let's see) November. Naw, sorry. Can't wait that long. It's 20 baht to the handyman as soon as I nag Hubby long enough for him to buy a hook. Edited May 31, 2014 by NancyL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MESmith Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Make your own out of bamboo or papier mache. Or, better still, find a local business selling bamboo products (split bamboo fencing etc) & have them make you a bamboo ladder. I had a 7 meter ladder made a few years ago, for some tree pruning. Wobbly & heavy. Once job finished, cut it in 2 for more manageable ladders. Cost 200 baht including delivery. If I'd been more quick thinking when they delivered it, I would've had them stand it up where I needed it. 4m should be easier to erect.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

332 Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Just tell the locals that both you and your wife had a dream that whoever paints the wall is going to win big in the lottery within 6 months. Both of you dream this every night. Sit back. Open a beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something tells me this wouldn't even be rated as an ANSI Type 3 ladder. Wouldn't know, I weigh far less than 200lb. When new, the ladders were very strong. Wobbly the wrong word, but they did flex a bit in the middle. At 200 baht I considered them "disposable" ladders. Now own 2x15 feet extendable aluminium ladders.

johnmcedinghburg Posted May 31, 2014 Author Share Posted May 31, 2014 Thanks for THE reactions, if i could purchase an safe and decent ladder for 800baht Then i was not here to ask for iT. An decent ladder cost around 7500 Thb and using iT for 1day is in my eyes an lot. However if THE person here telling me that i could have an safe and decent ladder for 800baht THEn i Will give him THE double price for iT Once i purchased an ladder by an large company what was around 5 m tall, Then when i was on around 4 m high to hang up something THE ladder clapst and missed just THE table with my head, lucky only Some painfull ribs for over an week. so maybe you could understand that im looking for an safe ladder not something cheap what could kill me Thanks Sent from my iPad using ThaiVisa app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante99 Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 How about scaffolding with wheels, that is for rent cheap across from Lotus on the Super Highway. You know, the metal frame stuff they use on construction sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dante99 Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 It is on the frontage road about across from Tesco Lotus, go slow as it is set down from the road a bit. They have all the parts and a price list for each, surprisingly inexpensive, small deposit, rent by the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
