A search of the forum did not turn up what I needed, so I will start a thread here.
As well, I have seen these kinds of places springing up on every corner over the last year so and I dont want to wander the town looking for the best one.

I need curtains, drapes. ..those long cloth things that cover your glass doors and floor to ceiling windows when you dont want to look out.

Ideally, I could ask them to come out to the house, measure, give me an estimate, show me samples, sew them up and install them . . .fast ( say a couple weeks) , good quality, reasonably priced ,service minded etc. .what I have come to expect from the better companies here in Hua Hin ( our gutter installers and screen door guys were superb . . .and we have nothing but praise for the people who installed our stunning kitchen cabinets.

But the trick is to find the right company.. . .we have also had disasters, the latest being the UBC installers/technicians who came to move our cable to the next room. Absolute idiots. .took them 10 minutes just to locate our satellite dish, looked for cable connections in our office ( other side of the house completely, nearly broke a laundry lattice fence, ran the cable over the roof tiles and created general havoc for an hour and a half until they left without a word of farewell. ( This was a simple reconnection of a cable. .and it took three idiots and a driver nd hour and a half !) I wont have them in my house again I tell you.

Anyway, anyone have recommendations for a company that does curtains?

With regards to curtains, had a positive experience with Index. They measured themselves, installed them properly and even cleaned up afterwards. Can be recommended.

Chas, I do not know the name as I am not in Hua Hin at the moment, but the small sales office where the lifts (elevators) open into the car park at Market Village, is the office of the Thai owner that supplied all the drapes etc., in our house. He is very obliging and will come to your house to measure up, show samples and install them. Cheers

Chas,
We were very pleased with the service, price and workmanship of the people we used, which is a small shop next door to the Hole In One laundry in the row of shops on the canal road near the traffic lights (there is also a vets, an aircon shop and a couple of others. We actually ordered Roman blinds and net curtains but I am sure they would do an equally good job with curtains. They cleaned up everything as they went along as well. Only possible disadvantage is that they only take cash.

(Forgive the directions)
Turn left at the very top of the nightmarket... past the train station and its about the 3rd shop on your left before you reach the railway crossing.

The guy from Siam Old teak reccommended him to me as he fitted out his showroom/house. The thai owner ( squeeky voice ) was very professional start to finish . We had them fitted a year ago, had one small problem , and he was straight out to fix it that afternoon. No charge .

His handmade, bamboo inlay curtain style magnetic doors, make an excellent and eyecatching alternative to traditional patio door curtains/blinds .

Chas, Bill here,

If your passing pop in, I have a number for a really good curtain lady she?s done a lot of work for us on many occasions. We?ve been happy with all her work.

Daytime I?ll leave it with the cashier Khun Boo in the pub.
