Popular Post swbaggies Posted February 15, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 15, 2022 Morning Does anyone know where I can FILL up my existing empty bottle, similar to the one in the picture in the Saphun Sung area? I know of places that swap the bottles, but they do not fill it up which is what I want to do. TIA. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post worgeordie Posted February 15, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 15, 2022 Is that your favourite bottle ....???? , why not just get it exchanged for a new one ,easy. maybe a station selling gas for tuk tuk's and cars might fill it up for you. regards Worgeordie 7 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post tgw Posted February 15, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 15, 2022 OP, why don't you explain the reason you don't want to swap the gas cylinder ? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 As said hard to make out why, unless your bottle is not legal and can not be exchanged. You are aware with exchange you get a full bottle at a fixed price and most please will deliver and hook up? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your landlord is an idiot!Every time you swap a bottle you get another one,some are new and some are used.Does not make any difference,you will have a hard time finding a place that will refill a bottle without exchanging it.If you do find a place they will have to send it away and you will not have a gas bottle for a few days.Maybe the best idea is to get a tank of your own and let your landlord take his back so he can cuddle and sleep with it! 16 2 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post jobsworth Posted February 15, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 15, 2022 It is upsetting to have bought a brand new shiny gas bottle and then to have to replace it with a bashed up old bottle just to buy more butane gas. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just think of pleasure you'd get when exchanging the battered old for a nice shiny new one. Life's full of ups and downs. ???? 3 hours ago, jvs said: Does not make any difference, you will have a hard time finding a place that will refill a bottle without exchanging it. If you do find a place they will have to send it away There are plenty of refill stations around where you can get your 'personal' cylinder refilled while you wait. Even small towns like Sakon Nakhon have one. The central question is, 'does the O/P have access to transport to get his cylinder down to one?' If he doesn't then the landlord's request is somewhat unreasonable. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Golden Triangle Posted February 15, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 15, 2022 Well get the landlord to get it refilled, easy sorted, should not be your problem. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runamok27 Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Of course you can get that bottle filled. We do it all of the time in Udon Thani. The one we use is in the back of a gas station. They sell the gas for cars in front and they fill the gas bottles around the back. Just Google map it, should be able to find one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post SAFETY FIRST Posted February 15, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 15, 2022 Don't use the landlords bottle. Get your own bottle and use it. This will save you a lot of effort taking the landlord bottle to get refilled. Many years ago I bought a new bottle. It needed refilling, the Mrs got the gas guys, they brought a full bottle, it was out of date. So, my safe new empty bottle was replaced with a dangerous out of date full bottle. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post mlkik Posted February 15, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 15, 2022 I refill our gas bottle in Udon Thani at a LPG /Petrol station. Just put it in your car boot and pull up next to the gas pump and they will refill it in your boot. It normally costs ฿400 for a full refill. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you. I bought a new one with a 1 2-year life, on Koh Samui then found there was no refill facility on the island. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cake Monster Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 All of these gas Bottles can be filled with Gas only rather than exchange Bottle. I can sort of understand the Landlords attitude, because he has actually bought the Bottle, and therefore owns it, as is the Thai way with these Gas Bottles.. We have a Bottle of the size you have ( 5KG ), and get it filled regularly in Pattaya , opposite the Bangkok Hospital on Suk for 110 Baht. There will be a Service for this somewhere in your area, just ask the Landlord, as all the Restaurants and Hotels Etc will be using this fill up only service.

Actually you don't buy it, only pay a deposit that you can get back (minus service fee if you got it from a shop). Once your cylinder nears it's end of life date you can replace it at the filing stations - mind you, it might not be a shiny new one, but a recently serviced/inspected cylinder, at no extra cost 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleBear57 Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Used to fill ours up at a LPG station perhaps a little cheaper but then I remembered the reason you should exchange it. They have to be pressure tested every few years so you should look for the stamp, not always easy to find or read, mine was out of date. The gas shops will send it away because even here in Thailand this is taken seriously. If you fill it up and it's way out of date you may have trouble brewing, it's done for good reason. So yes as other people have said your landlord is an idiot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVENKEEL Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 I bought my bottle new and I feel the same about swapping out with used bottles. I prefer to refill my good bottle. I found a place by driving around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And crazily enough, it's something I should be well aware of having been a SCUBA diver for donkey's years! And I've never given it a thought. I do wonder how many people are actually aware of it. Do you suppose that the filling stations check the dates before they actually refill them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAS21 Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 We have two gas bottles. As soon as one is empty, order another, that way never run out of gas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVENKEEL Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Wondering how many check for gas leaks when a bottle gets changed. Considering how close to the flame many tanks are here, that is a real concern. I know I do, and I keep the same tank and refill myself for reason of safety.

I'm very insistent on having the cylinders outside the house and in the shade. If there is a flare up on the hob, you can get to them and cut off the supply.
