mikemac Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Can anyone recommend a good shop to buy a wheelchair, walking frame etc in CM ? I Googled it but cannot find anywhere that sells that sort of equipment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flare Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 (edited) I can't vouch for quality, but there are quite a few of them in the medical supply shop in Tesco on Hang Dong Road in Mae Hia. Edited November 1, 2015 by flare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemac Posted November 1, 2015 Author Share Posted November 1, 2015 Thanks flare, I know where that Tesco is, our house is in Saraphee, not too far from the Hang Dong Road, will check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flare Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 (edited) They're just at the left-hand entrance, and I always walk by their window on the way to the market- they've got wheelchairs, hospital-type beds, etc- hopefully they'll have what you're looking for.

noise Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 All the major drug stores carry them. The drug store in the Rim Ping building Mee Choke Plaza has them. Probably the medical supply stores across the street from Suan Dok would have the most styles on hand. For example, wheel chairs with or without brakes. Wheel chair for 80+kg people. There are whole sale type shops on the east side of Hwy 1001 where it dead ends at the Super Hwy coming from Mae Jo (but the traffic is congested due to construction). I would guess there are some large medical supply shops around most of the hospitals (though none handy to Ram or BKK Hosp that I know of).

jimmym40 Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 We have a slightly used full size wheel chair. My wife needed it for about 6 months prior to her having two total knee replacements. We bought it new at Pharma Choice. I believe we paid 8,200 baht. Would let it go for 5,000 - can't tell from brand new. We live in Nong Hoi, but the chair is in Lamphun, stored at brother's house. Don't know how urgent you need it. PM me if interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Probably the medical supply stores across the street from Suan Dok would have the most styles on hand. For example, wheel chairs with or without brakes.

I think that if they don't have what you need today they can order it for you. I use them for my oxygen making machine and notice some times it is top quality items and some times not so top quality. The one I go to is across the street and the second one down from the drive way at Suan Dok. But I am sure the others will be able to help you also.

nicole13 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 hi is there any shops/shopping mall or supermarket pharmacy in Chiang Mai that sells wheelchair with brakes? I try searching it on Google but I can't seems to find any. Would be nice if you could provide the price for the wheelchair too. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saan Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Thanks flare, I know where that Tesco is, our house is in Saraphee, not too far from the Hang Dong Road, will check it out. It's a pharmacy just before you get to Tesco on the way out of town, right next to a hospital. I found them very cheap, reasonable range and they drop the price with a little bartering.

Just kidding. Most, if not all wheelchairs have "locks" whereas when stationary, you can lock the wheels so the chair cannot move. If that's what you are asking about. Never seen a chair that has any kind of breaking system while the chair is mobile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brit_Doggie Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 If a Watsons exist there then there's another avenue to walk in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
