Motorized blinds, wooden blinds and curtains in Bangkok Noi

Bangkok Noi is one of the most tightly packed old neighbourhoods on the Thonburi side. Houses and shophouses sit shoulder to shoulder, and plenty of windows open onto a neighbour's wall a couple of metres away. So the problem here is not the direct sun a suburban house deals with — it is a shortage of light and a shortage of privacy at the same time, in buildings old enough to still have timber frames and traditional brickwork. A separate group is the rentals and blocks around Siriraj Hospital and the newer condos near Bang Khun Non station: compact units with glass on one side, usually facing the building opposite.

What comes up most often in Bangkok Noi

Written from how people actually live here, not text that would fit anywhere.

Shophouses and houses in the lanes: little light, much need for privacy

The common mistake in these homes is choosing something too opaque, because privacy is the only thing on the owner's mind. The result is a room that was already dim now needing the lights on all day. What works better is fabric that lets light through while cutting the view in during daylight — sunscreen at around 45 percent, or a pale sheer at around 25 percent — and then adding an opaque layer only in the bedroom, where the room genuinely has to close at night.

Rentals and condos near Siriraj and Bang Khun Non

These are mostly studios and one-bedroom units with glass on one side, many looking straight at the building opposite. The question that comes up most is size, because the openings are not large. Our motorized rollers start at 50 cm wide and 100 cm tall, which covers most windows in a unit this size. For replacing something worn out, we take the old set down at 200 THB per unit — though we do not clean or repair curtains we did not supply.

Old buildings, timber frames, and checking the fixing points first

A fair number of the older houses and shophouses here still have timber frames, and some have decayed past the point of holding a fixing. Others have thick brick walls that hold very well but need a different anchor from the hollow walls in a condo. That is why measuring on site matters more in a neighbourhood like this than sending sizes over LINE. One more thing worth knowing: if there is no socket near the top of the window and you want a motorized system, an electrician has to add one first — we don't do wiring — or you go with a rechargeable battery motor.

Common questions

What customers in Bangkok Noi ask

The room is already dark — how do we avoid making it worse?

Pick something that passes light but blocks the view — sunscreen at around 45 percent, or a pale sheer at around 25 percent — and keep the opaque fabric for the bedroom at night.

Can an old house take motorized blinds? Does anything need knocking out?

Yes, and nothing needs demolishing. You do need a socket near the headrail — if there isn't one, an electrician has to add it first, since we don't do wiring, or you use a rechargeable battery motor: about two hours to charge, four to six months per charge.

Our frames are old timber — can you fix to them?

That has to be seen on site. Some timber frames are still perfectly sound; others have decayed to the point where the fixing has to move to the wall or ceiling instead. The fitter assesses it on the day we measure.

What does a measure in Bangkok Noi cost?

500-1,000 THB at the metro Bangkok rate, credited back in full when you order.
