Framing a painted canvas in Ubon?

[SantiSuk]

Bought a few medium sized oil-coloured canvases in Cambodia and want to get them stretched on a backing frame then display-framed in the usual way.

Anyone know of a framing shop in Ubon. I'll try a Kodak franchise as a last resort, or if someone knows one of those shops who will do the first part as well as the second.

If no ideas forthcoming anyone know a specialist artists materials shop (they may know where to go)?

I know the exact shop you are looking for but do not know the names of the streets. If you go along Chayankul Road heading towards the bridge you pass the park on the left at the traffic lights turn left there is a Shell station at the corner of this road, same road as the tax office just along from the Shell station. Pass through the traffic lights and take a right at the junction, if you was to turn left this would take you to the main post office. Head along this road and on the left hand side just before the junction there is a big shop with pictures.

This guy has done frame work for me and he also can put you in contact with an Artist if required. You will need to be able to speak Thai as this shop has no English speaking staff.

Many thanks. i can follow that and if not a walking trawl of the Old Chinatown is always worthwhile!

Sounds like you are describing it as being on Ratchabut, just north of either Phrommarat or Phrommathep.

A easier way to give directions to this shop, if indeed it is the same shop, is that it is on the same street as Smile Restaurant but on the opposite side on a corner just past the Wat Sri Ubon school. The corner of Sinarong road and Supat Road

If you get stuck let me know, I live in Ubon its around a 15 min drive from my house to that shop.

Its very easy to find as there is only 1 Shell fuel station on the corner before you cross the big bridge.

I'll look there as well then (definitely not the same location as described by Isaanfarang unless one or other of you are giving wrong descriptions).

Yours is West of Upparat Road (which is the name of the southernmost end of Chayangkul when it goes past "Candle Park"). IF's is East side of Upparat.

Takes a Sisaket wallah to teach you Ubon boys a bit of Ubon geography.

Thanks to both though - I'll look for both!

And if all else fails, there is a small shop on Suriyat Road ( west of Chayangkun Rd. ) that should be able to do it as well. He doesn't speak english though. But it sounds like the first two options are already good enough. If not, let me know and I'll give you the exact location.

Another go at this one

Index on Chayankul road next to the Merc garage. Drive along this road till you come to Tung Sri Mueang Park as previously mentioned as the park on the left, then left at the traffic lights, if you was to keep going straight you would cross the bridge heading to Warrin. There is only 1 park and 1 Shell station for the complete length of this road

When you turn left at the traffic lights the Shell station is on the corner go along this road and pass the traffic lights on the left is the fire station and the next left is the main post office, turn right at this junction and the shop is on the left just before the junction.

The one on the corner ¨opposit¨ Smile, I use for making my business cards.

For framing, I've used the Kodak shop on the corner of Sappasit/Padaeng, but I

guess the first one is ¨more¨ professionel??

Hi Santisuk, The framing shop is the next after the Sikimol Hotel . the shop is in a oneway street ,turn right into it if comming from Chayangkul Rd.

They do a exellent job at framing and repairs.

[SantiSuk]

So that's 3 options. Gotcha the first time IF, no need for the further and better particulars! Sikimol Hotel is a new one on me, but I think I have enough info from the combined forces on here!
