TobiasML Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Does anyone knows where to get a Thule car box and installation system or similar brand. Could be second hand as well. I have just searched on Google and found only one internet site who offers the system but it is rather on the expensive side compared with Europe. Anyone know a store. English speaking should be preferred. Thai would be ok too. Sent from my iPad using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieH Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Wrong forum, it would also help if you stated where you were? MOVED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TobiasML Posted July 22, 2014 Author Share Posted July 22, 2014 Thank you for moving CharlieH. I am living in the Eastern Seaboard Region but would be able to pick up from anywhere. That is why I did not state a specific region. I forgot though to mention I am looking to install it on my Honda City. Due to the CNG tank I am not able to get my baby's stroller in the car. And yes if I would have known that before I might have considered a different car, but car came before baby. :-) Sent from my iPad using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cnx355 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Just did a Google Search. It seems that some web sites show a THULE shop 4th floor in Central World in Bangkok. Maybe someone from TV presently in Bangkok can confirm this for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SantiSuk Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I bought my Thule roof box from that Central World location in October 2010 and I looked it up on the internet about 6 months ago and it was still there then. Bought a reasonably large box for my Fortuner. Max load 60kg. Cost 27k baht including the crossbars to fix it to (21k + 6k I think). Expensive - you can get a Thai box for half that price. But, still in perfect order after a lot of use and an absolute godsend for increasing the carrying capacity of high volume low weight items (you can of course put 2 or 3 heavy suitcases up there or combinations of heavy and bulky&light). I put the box on and take it off again at least monthly. Easy enough to manhandle even for a (reasonably fit) 63 year old. Putting it on costs about 4% in fuel consumption. I have seen others claim that roofboxes take 10% off consumption - I have checked it very carefully over time and long holidays with and without the box and I stick by my 4% number. I remain very pleased with that purchase! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TobiasML Posted July 23, 2014 Author Share Posted July 23, 2014 Thank you all for your helpful answers. I found a Thai manufacturer who has provided me with a price of THB 22.000 for a 179*84*43cm box including bars and installation. It seems like a design copy of Thule. I think perfect for what I need and stroller plus a bag fits nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going to have mine installed tomorrow and can give feedback afterwards if interested. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TobiasML Posted July 26, 2014 Author Share Posted July 26, 2014 For the one or other interested. I went there today. The owner K. Joke, a very nice guy, gave me the choice and I could have tried out all in my car, after he installed the base. The boxes are imported from Taiwan and it seems to be a really good quality. Installation took about 30min. The place is a bit hard to find and is basically his own house. As stated very good and efficient service for a fraction of the price asked by Thule for the same kind of system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
