How to buy/set up blow torch in Thailand?

[AndyAndyAndy]

I understand that you can't buy blow torch in Thailand? Because it is illegal or something?

But Lazada/Shopee has tons of blow torch heads, that look like this and are sold without canister. Just a head.

And people in reviews are posting pictures like this.

Does it mean, that I can order this head and put it on one of these small cooking canisters, that are sold in a Tesco?

Just asking first, before something blows into my face.

You are totally wrong all the standard places have them  Global House, DoHome, Thai Watsadu, HomeHub, HomePro etc. As well as many other stores.

Yes.  The canister just twists on with a bit of pressure.  Makro has a 3x set for not much.

I've been told what is illegal is to mail or ship inflammable material.  How they get to Tesco and Makro, I don't know.

There is quite a big difference between standard shipping/mail, where there are no special handling practices and commercial dangerous/inflammable  goods shipping, handling and packaging. ????
