Finding Small Scale Manufactures In Los


Recommended Posts

Hi All

I am interested in making some spare parts for old lamps we restore and also old motorcycles.

Any idea where I should start looking ?

I have done a google search and only got large scale factories.

I need more handicrafts - handwork places

parts are lost wax cast, formed sheetmetal and some pressed glass.

20-50 of each to start.

Anyone have contacts or places to look ?

thank you for your help

I know one guy who do such products. But he is not good in English. Anyway I am not exactly sure what type of a product you are referring at. Could you email me a sample picture?

thanks guys for the help. or at least the confusion that often seems to be around here :o

been searching around for the last few days in Chinatown area (OK between the train station and the river, I guess thats chinatown) anyway lots of cool things being made but not really what I am looking for,

But there are so many back streets that I can be looking for a long time,

thats OK as its something I am not able to do at home ,

Anyway thanks and I am back on the hunt !

your problem here is a common one in Thailand - how the heck to find someone to do X or sell Y without virtually going door to door?

one possible source of info is organisations like the Board of Investment, local Thai consulate, trade and investment expos where I do see occasionally one-off hardcopy english-language directories of manufacturers/exporters. I saw one recently on CD. These list a multitude of small/medium size companies (but not mum/dad concerns). Listings are far from exhaustive and limited to those with the network/initiative/english language skills & no doubt money (for participation fees). Still if you are stuck may be worth walking into your local BOI office, country X/Thai Chamber of Commerce, consulate etc and just asking if they have something like this in a box in the corner to give to you. Good luck
