  1. i have been looking for both tung and linseed oil to treat wood and seal earthen floors. local friends of mine came up with the following contacts:

    Linseed can be found shop called "Som-jai"

    1st. Branch in Jamjuree Building T: 02 160 5219

    Can reach by MRT

    2nd. Branch in "The Old Siam" T: 02 222 6260 ext: 20

    Recommended, as people can speak English a bit

    In "Peep" Thai's measurement or "Gallon" Size is 18-20 litre, approx. 600 baht.

    khun um from chiang mai sells tung oil at 120 baht per litre i am told, 083 901 77 73.

    i have not ordered so cannot say anything about product quality, but those are good leads...

  2. I am not sure in Koh Phanagan are but full test in Pattaya-Sattahib area run 4000 baht+ for complete workup of well water. The test runs bacteria fecal matter content acidic or alkaline tests Iron content & several other things . depending on what your testing for the price will vary. There should be some water agencies that are listed in your area. Maybe SBK might know. The Super Duper moderator in your area!

    thanks a lot! could you psl tell me how i can get in touch with SBK?

  3. looking for a laboratory to have my well water analyzed - any ideas? i am on koh phangan, surat thani province. i hear universities do this kind of analysis, any leads? how much does that cost?

  4. trying to source barbed wire - will need a few kilometers of it. anybody done some research on good deals? i guess home mart will have but generally their prices are not so attractive, looking for a local hardware store dealing in large quantities...

    thanks for your leads!!!

  5. looking for slaked lime (calcium hydroxide) or quicklime (calcium oxide) to plaster the exterior wall of a house, anybody has found a good source?

  6. hi all

    i am looking for a petrol-powered mulcher for my garden, second-hand or new. will be used for organic ground matter and branches of no more than 5cm in diameter, so doesn't have to be superstrong and big.

    has anyone seen some around? made in thailand or imported? any leads are much appreciated.

    best

  7. hi all,

    i was wondering if anyone has recommendations on where to get "do-it-yourself" supplies (tools, materials) for construction work. i am living on koh phangan and don't know much neither koh samui nor surat thani. are there any large home centers? does anyone know how they compare in prices with the local hardware shops?

    also, i am looking to obtain monocrystalline solar cells (not a panel), has anyone been successful? i found 4 solar panel manufacturers but they all sell panels only.

    i am also looking for small motors to integrate into a wind turbine, any idea? the specs are low rpm (300 to 500) at 30-40V.

    thank you very much for your replies.
