Thai traditional small decorative bricks

[cheeryble]

Hi

 

I’m having three upright old wood posts erected to hold up the verandah roof of the house I’m building.

I want to make a decorative base from bricks and small tiles fixed to a 40cm concrete inner base which is setting as we speak.

 

So I’m after the very small bricks as seen on the old city wall in the moat. Also like the rather larger but flattish ones that are common.

I also believe there's a standard old style brick that has a 45 degree chamfer along one side and is likely made for bases of walls.

 

There used to be a place just off the Canal Rd at Mae Hia junction towards Homepro.....a kind of plant seller plus bricks......think they had the lot including rounded ones. Went today, it’s gone, but a huge great Good View,s gone up just past it.

 

Anyone know the best place to find these bricks?

 

Thanks

Check out this place on the highway to Hang Dong (but you need to be coming into the city as they are on the west side of the street)....

Also for a nice selection of small decorative hand painted tiles go to Boontavorn on the superhighway (take the escalator to the basement level where the pool tiles are...

Boontavoorn has a huge selection of crackle glazed tiles - Again go into the tile aera and take the escalator down stairs where the swimming pool & crackle tiles are... Also on the ground floor wonder all the way to the back and go outside and take a look at the marble mosaic and other tiles ????

Most of the small crackle glaze tiles are made in Lampang.

I got mine at one Lampang manufacturer who had a small office on Rakaeng rd /Rakaeng soi 2. Sorry don't seem to be able to find on streetview.

I found these on the web based in Lampang but not sure if the same as i used.

Its not perfect, its a very expensive company buying and selling the same bricks, roof tiles, ceramic tiles as everyone else for a 10pc mark up. Then they ask for big deposits up front long before delivery....upto you, but after a few visits there myself you live and learn what their abilities are.

The plinth bricks will definitely be special order. I havnt even seen them on display boards at the brick stockists.

The good news is these bricks are so soft you can scratch them with your fingernail  so a mason who is skilled with a grinder can create the same effect.

the bad news is finding that skilled mason!

Got round to finishing off the bricks yesterday, at least it looks neat and can think of topping them off later
