Hello

We are all too familiar with the green tanks of cooking gas on the back of motorcycles for deliver here in Thailand. 

Yesterday here in Nonthaburi I paid 475 baht for a new tank. 

I hope to understand if I am being faranged or is that the going rate generally in Thailand.

I do understand price of fuel else where in the world has gone up. 

What was the cost of your last tank of cooking gas? Thanks

What size of tank ? I hope you are talking about LPG gas. I am as well interested in the lowest price. Needed for my Wok Cooking Station.

From the Ministry of Energy Thailand:

Sounds close, I have to get a tank over the weekend, we shall see then.

My last bottle (about 3 months ago) cost B450. The shop is about 500m away. Always delivered and fitted within a few minutes of calling 7am-7pm.
I suspect the 'extra charge' is for fitting the new bottle as opposed to just dumping on the doorstep and exchange the old bottle.

 

I'd be willing to pay a little more if asked, those bottles are heavy to move in and out of my kitchen unit!

I go pick mine up, I have 2 shops, they charge the same.

 

I don't keep gas in the house, you get a leak, a spark, caboom...........

I just had 2 bottles filled in Chiang Rai, 7kg was 255 Baht & 15kg was 450 Baht

 

I had a 15kg delivered to the house in Ubon last month, cost was 500 Baht

I’m happy to sell a full tank (9kg?) for a very very reasonable price. I don’t need it. Or trade it for a smaller one.

If anyone is interested, feel free to reach out. THX

Yes, my neighbour has his gas bottle on one. Unfortunately, I have a Thai style kitchen set-up so there's a 2'' lip to overcome to get it in the gas bottle unit. Great idea though! 

we pay 450 baht for a 15kg tank.

If you have transport, find your local tank filling station always better price than buying from mom&pop shops, my mother inlaw uses one a month, this picture is my local station,

Nor me. fitting and delivery are all free where I am. This is the extra thick hose and note positioned to be able to turn it off from behind in an emergency. ( that junk has been moved)

Were you buying a new tank or exchanging an empty one for a full one and what size cylinder are we speaking about.

I have made a special place for gas tank somewhere (circulated) outside the house, won't get hot either. One tank connected to cook tops, outside/inside kitchen. 

I bought my tube of gas 5 days , cost 475 B I think . Why do I think ....well 'er indoors does the chat and hands over 1000B note , Then the change goes in a bin under the car radio. What a rigmorole though.

On arriving with the empty tube in the boot , boot open , photo taken of empyt tube. Back up to a wall old one out new one in , glad I only have to go 1/2 mile for it. But it does last about 4 months.

Just turn it off after cooking with the big tap thingy on the top!

Nah I don't need to, and that would be inconvenient. 

Kitchen on the third floor and they carry it up to the third floor free, I don't argue about the price. 

 

That said, since I got the induction cooktop, I rarely use the gas. Love the control of the induction.
