ThatGuyLexx Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 I am looking for a carbon steel wok. I do not like the aluminum stuff that is everywhere and I don’t like non stick coatings. Apparently what I am looking for in Bangkok is basically a unicorn in comparison so any help finding it would be greatly appreciated. I saw a post about another person was looking for one and found it across the street from ekamai bus station but I can’t seem to find “the weird grocery store” the post was referring to.

tolsti Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 go to a local market. There will be a stall selling cooking equipment. They will have them as most street food stalls use them. Alternatively go into a Thai hardware shop. They will also stock them. Look for the places that sell the BBQ in a bucket... you will definitely get one there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatGuyLexx Posted May 17, 2018 Author Share Posted May 17, 2018 I’ve been here for almost 9 months and have found only aluminum. I have been to multiple places in bkk and all places where I live in Prachin Buri. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tutsiwarrior Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 the weight of a carbon steel wok vs an aluminum one should be considered if ye wanna shake and stir fry in the usual way, maybe OK for deep frying...I've never seen a carbon steel wok myself anywhere locally only aluminum...maybe try mail order?

planemad Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Wow, the replies surprise me. I bought a good one from the local (in the sticks) market. Of course that is no help if you are in Bangkok, why not try Chattuchak market or JJ Mall next to it, I would be amazed if that failed to turn up what you want.

chickenslegs Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Some on Lazada website https://www.lazada.co.th/catalog/?q=steel+wok&_keyori=ss&from=input&spm=a2o4m.login_signup.search.go.744561084jgrQw ... and I'm pretty sure I've seen steel woks in Makro.
