I've looked. They have some but they are mostly transparent which isn't good, it allows algae, and most of them are ridiculously expensive. I get my 20L containers there for 200 baht each, I don't want to pay 700 or more for a 5L. However I'll have one of my Thai staff search Lazada and Shopee in Thai.

Have you access to a Macro store ? They have them.

Yes there is a Makro nearby, I'd never noticed containers but I'll look, I have to go there soon.

Other one to ask for in your locality would be a "sampaeng"  it basically is wholesale market stuff.

Fantastic! This is why searching in English sucks on lazada. I never saw this.

Also if you're making up Dutch Buckets, Robert at Aquaponics Thailand sells them all made up. He's also got the hydroton that goes in the Dutch Buckets.

Thanks. I have tons of hydroton and nutrients, just missing the medium size containers. But I will check out that shop.
