paahlman Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Where in Phuket can I buy something like this.. ? I have tried the most common places in phuket town, homepro, index, homeworks, sb furniture, Mai mee... It can also be dark brown rattan, but need space for at least 20 60x60 cm pillows for my sala. I attach a picture...The picture is from keter which does not sent it here. I have hear that Global up north east have something, but thats just too much.. Lazada got nothing.

KarenBravo Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Why not buy one of those huge Igloo ice containers? They look virtually the same as your picture. Store your pillows in it and use it as a beer cooler if you hold a party. Available in many places in Phuket Town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paahlman Posted July 12, 2017 Author Share Posted July 12, 2017 Because it would not be correct ... It does not match the rest of the villa. There has to be other solutions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phuketscooter Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Go to IKEA and order it there or Lasada.co.th and order it on internet and pay for it, as it coms to your house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDave Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 You could combine the two suggestions given by KB above. Use one of those common ice chests as the "core" in order to guarantee that the container would be waterproof. Then, have a local carpenter build a wooden shell around the plastic cooler and a wood top so that you all you would see is a nice wood piece of outdoor furniture.

NamKangMan Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 (edited) Perhaps you could use KB's suggestion and buy some vinyl paint, or plastic paint, and paint it the color you want. Cheap solution, with multipurpose options, and should match your villa. Edited July 12, 2017 by NamKangMan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like many items not available here, possibly because it doesn't make good business sense for the retailers in Thailand to sell these. Maybe the market for this type of item isn't big enough to justify the expense of importation and inventory. Or maybe due to importation logistics and duty, the cost would be prohibitively high for most potential consumers. Now, turn it around. Think about all of the products readily available in Thailand, but not in your home country. Why is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xylophone Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 (edited) I bought one from Homepro in the Tesco Lotus complex, in black faux leather (poly) which doubles as a bench-seat and the make is "Furdini". Also saw them in brown.........but not rattan. PS. Don't know how waterproof it would be, but could be ok if not directly exposed to the elements.

paahlman Posted July 14, 2017 Author Share Posted July 14, 2017 Ok xylophone.. Thanks... Will check that out again... Was there a month ago., but you never know... No.. its not a fetish.. Many people have pillows in garden and in their salas.. It should be a compulsory asset to have in most shops... What does hotels do....? Carry the pillows 50 meters everyday into their basement? It has to be an easier way... but then again.. Maybe not... Worst case I bring one on the plane... I never carry any luggage at all anyway.. All is here so no need to bring anything.. maybe exept this monster waterproof pillow compartment...hehe.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an afterthought (as you mentioned hotels) this place is huge and seems to have everything from pillows to pots and all manner of hotel supplies (don't be put off by the website which seems limited) http://www.floralhotelsupply.com/ and may be worth a visit. Other than that have you tried the huge Supercheap store in Phuket town? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpkhk Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Have a look at vistrades.com (Storage, Outdoor and then boxes). They have a box which looks very close to your picture - called the Novel 90 - but at 7000 baht. Color is cream/darkbrown lid. Another store that may have a storage solution - and approachable prices (when on sale) is LF Outdoor. They can be found on Facebook, and have a store in Bangkok & Boat Avenue in Phuket.

paahlman Posted July 16, 2017 Author Share Posted July 16, 2017 Thanks... Will try the one in boaat lagoon... problem is the price also.. You can buy it here in Norway for 1200 baht... Compared to 7k it makes sense to bring it... C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you cannot adapt to the availability of goods that are here and you are loathe to pay expensive prices for the specially imported goods you want i have to ask what on earth are you doing here? This applies to anywhere not just Thailand. Or perhaps you have the money but are just tight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daffy D Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 How about one of those larger wheelybins? I'm sure I've seen then here. Useful for wheeling round to collect the pillows or just take the wheels off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just find it strange that such a normal thing as a pillow storage in the garden is so difficult to find.. Thats all..I am not tight at all.. But there is a limit for throwing money away.

canuckamuck Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 The large outdoor garbage bins with wheels are available everywhere. They are rain proof and would provide a similar amount of storage capacity as the object you posted. But if you are stuck on getting a solution that fits your decor, I would just get something made. I can't imagine that your sala features a lot of black plastic objects like the one you posted. So I assume you were going to hide it somehow anyway.

You may not be aware of this paahlman but us normal people don't have a need for garden pillow stowage containers that is something that is generally reserved for people with large gardens with swimming pools and such, you know rich people who can generally buy anything they think they need for their little slice of paradise, so if you are not tight as you say just go for it paahlman.
