Home office furniture - Pattaya

Post new topic

Hi!


I need to set up a minimalist home office in order to make ourselves at home in Pattaya.  I have no idea where to buy (physical store or on-line) these items:


  • Stand up desk with electric motor for switching its position
  • A good quality computer chair - looking for Herman Miller AERON but understand it may not be available
  • Alt - a small portable desk on casters that I can move around between rooms, if the stand up desks aren't available


The photo shows my setup at my home in Acapulco, that'd be the portable desk option if the stand up desk is hard/impossible to get in Pattaya.


I'm aware Amazon doesn't serve Thailand yet, what's the best on-line retailer for office equipment in Thailand?  Perhaps someone who handles imports?


Thanks in advance and cheers!

Lazada is the Amazon of Thailand. You can find almost everything there.


Index Living Mall on Sukhumvit Rd is quite popular when it comes to furniture. They have a website in both Thai and English.They sell stuff on Lazada,too. There are other stores on Sukhumvit Rd.

Where did I say anything about not being able to buy from Amazon? Lazada is in Thailand and Malaysia what Amazon is in the US. Get it? Amazon doesn't ship everything to Thailand. Try to buy a king size bed incl mattress, an electric moped or an a/c. Why not try to order home office furniture or a 15 cubic foot fridge?

It wasn't. It was from a clueless guy who can't read.

@chrisstoltz - Aha -- that would be fantastic. I have native Amazon accounts in .com (US), .com.mx (Mexico), and .co.uk (UK) -- where's your account based? That way I can use that one for shipping. I found that trying to ship some items from .com to Mexico or from .co.uk to the US doesn't work.


Related:  how are the delivery times?  I don't expect Prime service, but if they are measured in months it'll be a no-go (suspect is days-to-couple-of-weeks, would love confirmation).


Thanks and cheers!
