As you can see many have viewed your post but no replies, sadly in HH I could not recommend. I paid quite a lot to have what I thought was going to be a good kitchen, shown lots of lovely photos, all a load of bull. It took ages for the contractor to finish and numerous returns to fix things, still have problems with the doors and draws. Unfortunately like most companies here they change staff continually so quality never stay s the same

My only suggestions are as follows:
1. Who ever you select request to see a number of jobs they have finished and speak to the owners, do not let the contract dictate which ones you must see.
2. Hold back a substantial amount in retention to be paid after say six months. A decent contractor would accept this a Thai contractor will not. They usually want money up front and then you finish the job yourself when they don't come back

I would highly recommend Kitcheneer. I used them and they were the best contract rot I have ever had experience with. Including US Contractors. I will post the details below and if they get removed, then PM me and I will send to you. My condo is at Seacraze and they did every kitchen in the place. (272 units) Their follow up to detail was amazing. Khun "Boy" was my contact person and is the design manager. They did an expansion of the basic kitchen for us.

I'm very satisfiedwith Kvik Kitchen. They did an excellent job installing our new Kvik Kitchen in February. Kvik is a Danish brand and imported to Thailand.

It sounds good, Norseman, but are you sure about that? It justs sounds too good that an international company is owned by Norwegians. Usually, we sell our selves to foreign companies... ;-)

With some googling I find out that Kvik is owned by the Swedish company Ballingslöv International AB who in 2011 was 100% taken over by Swedish Stena Adactum who is wholly owned by the Swedish Olsson family.

I am only talking about the store in Hua Hin, not the whole group.

Yes of course but he's not a member of the forum and I've never seen or used their brand.
I will call him and point him in this direction though.
