peterb17 Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 My boyfriend and I are hooked on the local - sell everything- dirty crockery shop. Near the machapan lake in the riviera of the East. I bought some knives - they would take your arm off - so sharp were scary . There is always something- maybe not Harrods I like these shops - it’s fun .

johng Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 I like them too...just remember the stuff will most probably not last long at all...and some stuff is as useful as a chocolate teapot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mogandave Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Why would anyone want to take their arm off?I was on disability for a few years in the early ‘90s (cut my foot off). Got into the whole thrift-store/yard-sale/swap-meet/jockey-lot/storage-wars thing, kind of burned out on it. I already have too much crap. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremia Juxtaposed Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 I like the one behind Big C Marina Mall . The whole area used to have loads of outdoor nik-nak stalls but now only this one survives (if it is still there that is - haven't been for a year). It has two big black cocks at the entrance to make it easy to spot... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing dirty in it!!SorryIt was just a name from a friend - the piles of plates and dishes tend to be a bit dusty ( to say the least ) and need a good wash when you get home.I just like our local shop - there’s always something to buy.Going to hijack.Of course with over a thousand posts I should not be interested in living in the Kingdom - which of course I do everyday- unlike most of the idiots from the USA - who seem to want to impose their world order on ThaiVisa Sent from my iPad using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't tried it since they opened the new toll booths though. Sort of place where you need to generate a fair list of what you need and then do a mega-shop. Amazing what you find in there. No Thai spoken, so come armed with pictures or written translations. Usually too hot in there to just amble around! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aupee Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 (edited) PeterB several years ago when I was a new expat, a very long ago a friend took me to a "dirty crockery shop" in Pattaya the wife declares they are the best knives she has owned we also got some good quality crockery. I would like to go back for more but I don't know where it is I just know it was on a main road in big and rough building like a huge shed. Any ideas that may help me find it. I live out in Prachin buri and do not know Pattaya very well . Help Edited May 17, 2018 by Aupee Bad spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FolkGuitar Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Magic knives? Or ones just sharpened before being sold. There is nothing particularly difficult about sharpening any knife. The 'magic' is finding ones made of quality steel that will retain its edge. The cheaper the steel the easier it is to put the edge on and faster to bend, roll, or wear away. Five minutes with a pair (or trio) of sharpening stones will restore any edge. Spend some money on a good knife and only do that 2-3 times a year. It's not magic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm reading it right I think the OP means a relatively new place on SSCC, heading from Chicken Cross roads to the lake its on the RHS not too far after SP3 village. HTH.
