Thai House Sign

[Monkey Boy]

Apologises if this has been raised before, but I'm looking for a custom ornate house sign for our house in Si Sa Ket. Wording will be family name in Thai script with house & village number. Does anybody know a supplier or maker of such signs in Thailand. Thanks in advance.

Ubon Ratchathani is a big place, bound to find someone there who will make it for you.

Certainly almost every mall around BKK has places that will make up signs from pre-cut wooden letters on a fancy wooden back-board.

 

There's actually a shop next to our electrical emporium that specialises in these and more ornate custom jobbies.

 

No idea of prices I'm afraid.

 

As Kwasaki notes, there are bound to be lots of places, it's just finding them.

You could always buy a router and make your own like a Polish friend of mine did.  He hung it on the front of his house and showed me how good it looked.  He asked me why I was laughing as he thought that it was beautiful.    I told him that it looked great, but he spelled his name wrong.  HS name is  Janiszewski and he forgot the first  "s". He couldn't believe it. A true story!

Cheers and thanks for the replies. Heading to Pattaya next week to meet friends and stock up on stuff. Will try and find something there. Asked locally in Si Sa Ket, but nobody knows any local maker/supplier.

There will be a local poster maker somewhere around you. ask around. They will do it on any background material you like had ours done in wood first but didn't look right in the end so went for what the locals use. A blue perspective with white letters on. Cost cheap as chips still got the wood one use it as a chopping  block lol.

This is what ours looks like, not expensive.

@Monkey Boy I'll bet that if you show them a photo there will be a place just around the corner that does them :)

most houses/premises are identified by the usual nn/nn numbers...we got some 'stick on the wall' bits for our shop house that did the trick and with the wife then posed proudly in front for a photo for my application for a marriage visa extension some years ago...

 

(the immigration officer looks at the photo and thinks: 'why does the falang have a silly grin?...he doesn't look sincere...')

Where I live there are no house numbers anywhere.  If I were to make a sign and hang it out front the locals would most likely think that I just fell off of the sugar cane truck and hit my head!
