Fred Ziffel Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 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 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CecilM Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cowellandrew Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 (edited) 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, Edited September 30, 2023 by cowellandrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toofarnorth Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellowtail Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
