At Cibes Lift Thailand (subsidiary of Cibes Lift Group AB in Gävle, since 1947), we see one clear pattern in family homes: stairs can slowly shrink the way people use the house. < Back Home lifts for family homes in Thailand: why accessibility often brings people closer 16 Feb 2026 At Cibes Lift Thailand (subsidiary of Cibes Lift Group AB in Gävle, since 1947), we see one clear pattern in family homes: stairs can slowly shrink the way people use the house. A home lift is not only about moving between floors. It helps remove the “invisible barrier” that stairs create for grandparents, wheelchair users, and even busy parents carrying laundry, groceries, or luggage. When moving around the home becomes easy again, the whole house gets used again, more often, with less worry. Cibes home lifts are designed to be compact, and in many homes they can be installed without a deep pit or a machine room. That’s one reason they’re popular for both new builds and renovations in Thailand. Why do stairs quietly split a family home? It usually happens without anyone saying it out loud. Grandma starts staying on the ground floor. Kids spend time upstairs. Guests with limited mobility hear, “It’s okay, we’ll come down.” Everyone is trying to be kind, but the home still becomes divided. A home lift changes the flow of daily life. Instead of planning around stairs, each floor stays connected. People move naturally, when they want, not only when someone is available to help. How does a home lift help grandparents stay involved every day? Grandparents often miss the small moments first. A quick chat before bed. Helping with homework. Joining the family upstairs without thinking twice. A home lift supports safer, simpler movement between floors. That keeps routines intact and makes it easier for older family members to stay involved. It also takes pressure off the rest of the family, because support doesn’t always have to mean physical lifting or constant supervision. What changes during parties, birthdays, and family gatherings? In Thai family homes, gatherings move around. Food comes out of the kitchen, people spread out, kids run upstairs, relatives settle where they feel comfortable. When someone can’t use the stairs, they end up missing parts of the day. A home lift helps everyone take part, including elderly guests and anyone with mobility challenges. It also makes practical tasks easier, like carrying dishes, drinks, gifts, and heavier items between floors. What about family and friends who use a wheelchair? A lift sends a simple message: every floor is for everyone. It helps avoid the common “one-floor only” limitation that wheelchair users often face in multi-storey homes. Just as important, it supports independence. People can move without feeling like they’re creating extra work for the host. That changes the mood of a visit in a good way. Can a home lift make daily chores less of a grind? Yes, and many homeowners tell us this is the benefit they didn’t expect to love so much. Stairs turn small tasks into repeated effort: laundry baskets, grocery bags, water packs, suitcases, kids’ gear. A home lift reduces that friction. You save energy for the parts of family life that actually matter. Sometimes that’s as simple as sitting down together at the end of the day. Is a home lift also future planning for the family? Many families install a home lift because there’s already a clear need, or a concern about aging parents. But it also keeps the home practical over time. As mobility changes, the house stays usable without forcing a move later. FAQ about Home Lifts Does a home lift take a lot of space? 
 Cibes home lifts are designed to be compact (as little as 1 sqm) and are often planned without a deep pit or a separate machine room, which can help in both new homes and many existing homes. How long does installation take? 
 A typical installation is often 5 to 7 days for a 2-stops lift and around 7 to 15 days for more stops, depending on site conditions and the chosen configuration. How do I check safety standards? 
 Ask which standard the lift follows. For home lifts, EN 81-41 is a key reference. You can also ask who reviewed or certified the lift, and request documentation. Cibes home lifts are designed with safety features such as an emergency stop and backup power functions.

The Thai-Swedish Chamber of Commerce celebrated its 30th anniversary with a grand gala dinner at Marriott Hotel, the Surawongse in Bangkok. < Back Throwback to the Nobel-Inspired Gala: the Thai-Swedish Chamber of Commerce 30th Anniversary 29 Aug 2024 Throwback to our 30th Anniversary, the Thai-Swedish Chamber of Commerce marked a decade of exceptional partnership with a grand gala dinner in Bangkok. This milestone event gathered our esteemed members, friends, and partners from both Thailand and Sweden to celebrate a journey of collaboration and growth. The evening commenced with President, Anders Lundquist, who emphasised the chamber's remarkable growth and the invaluable support it has received from both Thai and international members. He shared a delightful anecdote from the chamber's inauguration, attended by His Majesty King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden and Queen Silvia at the former Siam Intercontinental Hotel. During his speech, the King humorously remarked that he found their logo ‘not sexy enough.’ Years later, during a meeting in a church garden in Thailand, Khun Anders had the chance to remind the King of this comment, to which the King responded with surprise, asking, ‘Did I really say that?’ In addition, the president also highlighted that the evening's theme was inspired by the Nobel Gala Dinner. He pointed out the similarities in table arrangements to the Nobel banquet held in 1989, coinciding with the awarding of the Nobel prizes in Sweden. This homage to Alfred Nobel, the esteemed founder of the prizes, added a layer of significance to the celebration. Moreover, the gala also recognised Ingvar Krook, a scholarship sponsor for young students associated with the SweCham. Mr Krook shared insights as the former executive director of the Swedish Foreign Trade Association and the Swedish Youth Abroad Foundation, where he played a vital role in providing scholarships for Swedish students. He expressed his satisfaction with the chamber's initiatives and its commitment to promoting Swedish interests abroad. Guests were treated to a delectable menu inspired by the 1989 Nobel banquet, featuring a starter of salmon, a choice of beef or fish for the main course, and a modern interpretation of mango sticky rice for dessert. The evening concluded with a lucky draw, offering impressive prizes. Notably, one guest, Anders Frummerin, won a prize from Husqvarna for the third consecutive time! Given its auspicious start, the Thai-Swedish Chamber of Commerce has been instrumental in fostering economic cooperation and cultural exchange between Thailand and Sweden. The gala provided a captivating journey through the chamber's history, celebrating key achievements, memorable moments, and the individuals who have contributed to its success.

Perspectives of Stakeholders: Thailand’s Strategies for Coping with Current and Future Floods and Droughts < Back SweCham team attended the launch of the World Bank Thailand Economic Monitor 5 Jul 2023 Perspectives of Stakeholders: Thailand’s Strategies for Coping with Current and Future Floods and Droughts Last Wednesday, 28 June 2023, the SweCham team attended the launch of the World Bank Thailand Economic Monitor ‘Building a Sustainable Future: Coping with Floods and Droughts’ at the Faculty of Engineering, Chulalongkorn University. Professor Dr. Supot Teachavorasinskun, the Dean of the Faculty of Engineering at Chulalongkorn University, and Dr. Fabrizio Zarcone, the World Bank Country Manager for Thailand, jointly delivered an opening statement during the inaugural session of the seminar. This was followed by keynote speeches, presentations and panel discussions by several experts in the area. Thailand experiences recurring floods and droughts each year, which are becoming increasingly severe, particularly in Bangkok, due to overpopulation and geographical factors. This seminar focused on the government’s master plan for water management. Representatives from the World Bank highlighted the escalating water stress in Thailand over the past year. The difficulties in dealing with floods and droughts, particularly in Bangkok, remain unchanged since the affected areas are privately owned. Unfortunately, the solutions available only offer temporary relief. However, private companies in the eastern part of Thailand, such as Amata Water and Indorama Ventures, have actively embraced sustainability and made a commitment to take responsibility for their actions. Ultimately, every speaker emphasised the importance of collaboration from all sectors in Thailand. Without cross-sectoral partnerships, the country will not progress, and the issues will persist. It was an honour for our team to be part of this informative and provocative seminar. We are thrilled to share this important message with our members and aspire to create a meaningful impact within our community. To read full report ‘Thailand Economic Monitor.
