I think you can hire from all main hospitals.....or buy from about B 5000 from main Pharmacies ( might be able to claim this back from your insurance)

I’m going to need a wheelchair for about 2 months. Does anyone have one I can borrow, rent or buy ? Or, can anyone point me to a business where I can rent one monthly ?

I've rented a wheelchair from Hua Hin Hospital when my mother is visiting. Can't remember the rates but were very reasonable. There is a returnable deposit which is to be expected.

They also offer different sizes.

When I had my accident, a couple of years ago, I also needed one and could have rented it from Bangkok hospital as they have a lot of unused ones in stock, but their rental cost was exaggerated so we didn't bother
Might have changed and might be cheaper, best to ask them
Also make sure it's the right size and it's got movable foot rest
Good luck

Scout, my wife wanted a new wheelchair (very little wrong with her old one). I bought the same model and have kept the old one for spares. It is perfectly serviceable, and as good as any the hospital have. You are more than welcome to borrow it for a couple of months.

The model is the same as they use at the hospital, Market Village, etc.

Once again it shows how a forum like this can be so beneficial in many different ways,especially something so simple as the loan of a wheel-chair,

Hi Scout, I have PM'd you. I am not trying to pressurise you, if your wife still needs the chair, but would appreciate an update please.

No problem BB, I hadn’t checked my pm’s lately so missed your message. I’ll return it in the morning if that’s convenient for you. Thank you so much for loaning it, we’ve put it to good use !
