MODERN THAI TEAK FURNITURE

Can anyone tell me if there is a factory in Udon Thani to build custom Modern Thai Teak furniture? I just moved up from Pattaya and there were numerous such manufacturers there...HELP!

The guys who are incareated in Udon Thani's monkey house make teak furniture.
Try the monkey house shop.
Your better served in Udon if you want furniture made from MDF, and Chipboard.

Here is teak furniture you can expect to have made in Udon:



However, If you want teak furniture to this quality in the next pic, you will need to head south:



OT..............

Blinking eck, I could do better than that first one.. Looks like it came out of Fred Flinstones cave.

There is a place across the street from the Big C at the intersection of the Sakhorn Hwy and ring road that has furniture of solid wood. I also bought furniture off a truck in our village that drive's around hawking solid wood furniture similar to the shop across from Big C. For finer crafted furnishings you might check Index although most of their stuff is of the particle board variety. I am curious as well if you have success in other locations, please pass it on here. Best of luck!

Something to keep in mind when buying SOLID wooden furniture here in Thailand if you plan to use it inside an air conditioned house. Unless the wood is properly kiln dried before assembly & finishing it will most likely crack, shrink, seperate or warp. The reason is that an airconditioned enviroment will continually remove the moisture from the wood causing damage to the wood. It may take a few months before the wood distorts, sooner if the environment is airconditioned continuously. I know of only 1 factory (there may be more) here in Thailand which produces high quality properly kiln dried SOLID wooden furnture (not veneer on top of particle board/plywood). I believe the name is Singluck (or close to that) and it's located in Chiang Mai. They produce beautiful (read expensive) furniture in a variety of hardwoods which will probably outlast most of us.
I know of only 1 lumber mill here in the Udon area which will sell you kiln dried lumber. Once again there may be more. The mill is located about 20kms outside Udon on the road to Loei. It's easy to identify by the very tall smokestack. You will have to tell them how long you want the lumber to remain in their oven as I don't think they have anything to test the moisture content of the wood.

try the ringroad from the rout 2 junction to big c , there are 2 furniture shops , the cne near big c could be the workshop for the shop near big c.

I'd like to thank everyone for their input. I've learned many new factors regarding furniture in Thailand. Thank you all so much for your assistance.

There's a small shop I've seen in passing and they display teak furniture out front. I have no other details other than where the shop is. See attached map, the shop is located about 30m west of the train crossing.
