  1. not sure i found the place you were referring to. have just dropped off the mower at an electrical shop in maenam in between santiburi and the maenam market. 2 story, 2bldg shop entirely full of pumps, generators and all things electric so even if he doesn't know anything about it now, he should by the time he gets through everything that's been dropped off.

    now on to the next project...

  2. have just done the monthly drive around to every shop on the island trying to get one script for one eye and a different script for the other and it's just getting tedious.

    in the states i can buy them annually for less than half of what i'm paying here for the same thing, however i'm not in the states and they don't accept anything less than a signed and phone verified prescription when dealing with thailand.

    have asked at each shop today, how much if i buy one year at a time, and the response was always the same, price is fixed so no discount.

    anyone ever have any success locally (or bkk etc) buying a years worth of lens at a time? nothing complicated about my scripts , but it's always the same story with the thai's working the shops " you need every month? ok you buy from me i have for you each month" and of course they never have both L&R. it's either or, or neither.

  3. starting up a new project at home and will need a ton of pvc of varying sizes along with all manner of fittings, couplings, 3 and 4 way connectors etc.

    have any of you ever seen a shop here on samui that actually stocks a variety of these fittings? have tried maenam trading but the selection any time i've been in there has been no good.

    i'm going to need hundreds, so if you've seen a shop in surat or know of anyone in bkk that supplies these, that's ok too.

  4. I asked in both tesco and Big C yesterday, they don't sell them. Or at least not anymore anyway.
    Suspect you were given the mai mee ..... AKA I have no idea what you are talking about/couldn't be bothered. Just back from BigC, where, down by the rice cookers, are half a dozen clippers/trimmers. THB 400-700 - ish. Seems you have now got yourself sorted anyway, and probably with better quality anyway.clap2.gif
    GRRRR, still would of liked the option. angry.png

    a thread about hair clippers has now almost got to 25 replies so please, nobody mention the wahl distributor in nathon or the shop in the mall in surat that has every western brand known to man.

  5. One lady in Lotus told us about that place in Bophut near the traffic lights but we couldn't find it. Now i know why, thanks Rooo. So still don't know where to find them.....
    Coming from Maenam, pass through the lights, and on the left hand side (about 100m) is the hairdressing supplies shop. Just before the Bophut market on the right. Recently refurbished, drove past this morning and the window display is full of mannequins.
    Thanks, i'll go take a look right now

    large yellow building, same side as police box.

    your signature looks familiar to me btw, have seen it over the years at jim's place in penang.
