RTD and Gonzo....

Very entertaining.... and probably absolutely spot on!

Thanks for your comments.

I'm not sure why you needed to talk to anyone at all.  Couldn't one of you have held the baby and the other the pram as you descended the escalator? Or failing that leave the baby in the pram while descending but have one of you stand on the step directly in front of it to prevent a problem if the other of you lets go of the pram for whatever reason.  I would have thought once you'd walked in through that noxious 1st floor parking garage the rest of your trip would seem a breeze by comparison.

I agree.
You carry your baby when you go down a flight of stairs don't you? What do you do when you go to places with no elevator at all?
You are going to have to be a bit more flexible if this is going to be your home, there are much greater inconveniences in the Land o' Thais than this.

OK - I'm going to spell this out....  If you read my original posting you will see that there was no problem with carrying the baby. We actually suggested that. Did you read that? The problem was with the pushchair.

I am not prepared to put myself, my family, or any other member of the public at risk. What's so difficult to understand here?

I wonder what she would have advised someone in a wheelchair? "Don't shop here. Go home" ?

No she would have sent someone with you to know where the lifts are that access all floors.  I know because that is what they did for me.  In your case you are capable of using the escalators which are the method of travel here for people using strollers and did not wish to do so. As far as she was concerned you had your answer.  As far as regulaions are concerned this it Thailand not the UK and what is done in UK is not relevent.

I think you are rather missing the point. Shouldn't the information desk know where the elevators are?

Are you really saying that we should engage in dangerous practices just because we are allowed to do so?


mmmmm  curious philosophy.

NO!   -    positively NO.
Taking a pushchair onto an escalator is a non-starter. It is very dangerous, even to other people around it. That's why it's banned in most other countries.

White Cad, I was out at Cherry Bike on HWY118

I'm having no success finding Cherry Bike... would you put up a few directions please?  Many thanks...
You bet.   Leaving CM on HWY 118 after you cross the river, go straight at the Super HWY intersection.  It is not far from this intersection, and before the next traffic light.   As you see the next traffic light coming up, look for a huge DUNLOP TIRE sign, yellow and black I think, above a tire store.  Cherry Bike is just beyond this a door or two.   Not well marked so you will have to look for bikes in the storefront.

Aaah... I know that big Dunlop sign. Thanks a lot for your help!
