Motorized blinds, wooden blinds and curtains in Phra Khanong

The name Phra Khanong causes some confusion: the Phra Khanong sub-district is actually in Khlong Toei district, and Phra Khanong Nuea is in Watthana. Phra Khanong district itself has two sub-districts, Bang Chak and Phra Khanong Tai, with the stretch of Sukhumvit around the Bang Chak and Punnawithi BTS stations running through it. The area has changed a lot recently, with new condos and towers going up around the stations, while the sois behind are still full of older shophouses, apartment blocks and townhomes. Old houses and new units in the same district get stuck on different things: the new ones on ceiling structure and neighbouring towers built close by, the old ones on window grilles and how deep the window frame is.

What comes up most often in Phra Khanong

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

Towers around Bang Chak and Punnawithi: windows that face the next building

Condos built close together around the stations often have units whose windows face another tower not far away. In daytime that hardly matters, because it is brighter outside than in, so it is hard to see in. Once the lights go on in the evening the situation flips, and people in the building opposite can clearly see figures moving behind a sheer. These rooms suit two layers: a sheer inside for the day and an opaque curtain outside for the night. A motorized track can run the two layers separately, so you close just the opaque one from a remote or the phone app instead of walking round pulling each panel.

Shophouses and townhomes down the sois: windows with grilles

Plenty of older shophouses and townhomes in these sois have grilles fitted to the windows, some outside and some inside. It sounds minor, but it decides what can be fitted. If the grille is on the inside, close to the glass, the reveal may not be deep enough for a blind or roller to travel without scraping. The fix is to mount over the frame on the wall above instead, which has the side benefit of less light leaking down the edges. With casement windows whose handles are on the inside, it also has to be checked that the blind won't get in the way of opening and closing them. The fitter measures all of these clearances on the day of the measure.

New units with near-ceiling glass: long tracks and plasterboard

Units in new projects tend to have glass running almost to the ceiling across several panes. Some developers leave a curtain pocket recessed into the ceiling, some don't. With a pocket, the track position is settled from the start. Without one, it has to be checked whether the fixing line is bare plasterboard or has framing behind it, because a curtain track takes a pulling load every day. Where a backing beam has to be added in a plasterboard ceiling, that is 550 THB per metre — worth knowing before the quote arrives. And the track should be measured wall to wall, not just across the glass, so the fabric has somewhere to stack when open without covering the window. Motorized tracks run from 1 to 16 metres.

Common questions

What customers in Phra Khanong ask

We are in Phra Khanong sub-district (Khlong Toei) or Phra Khanong Nuea (Watthana) — do you cover us?

Yes. Both are inside Bangkok, so the measure is the same 500-1,000 THB, credited back in full when you order.

Our windows have grilles on the inside — can blinds still go in?

That has to be seen on site. If the reveal isn't deep enough, the usual answer is to mount over the frame on the wall above. The fitter measures the depth and clearances on the day, and the quote follows within one day with every measurement listed.

There is no curtain pocket in the ceiling — can a track fix to plasterboard?

It depends whether there is framing along the fixing line. If a backing beam is needed in the plasterboard, that is 550 THB per metre. The other route is fixing to the wall above the frame, and the fitter works out which suits the room at the measure.

How is a two-layer sheer-and-opaque motorized setup priced?

Motorized tracks are priced per set by length band, from 5,900 THB a set with the motor included. A double track is priced differently from a single one, and fabric is a separate line — none at all if you keep your own curtains. All prices exclude VAT, and the real figure is confirmed after the measure.
