You need to visit a smaller Thai run garden shop that sells bags of fertiliser etc, paraquat strength equivalents are widely available but not always advertised. Glyphosate (Roundup) is available.  Government was going to ban them but the farmers complained heavily so not sure where the issue stands today.....you wont find it in Big C, Homepro etc, only small shops. Consider using vinegar and baking soda, it's a much better alternative that much safer.

That will work and is much better/safer all round. We have a large area of garden, my experience is that even if you spray the entire thing with Agent Orange, in three weeks time (or less) all manner of fascinating things grow back. The only viable solution is regular and frequent maintenance.

Small hardware shops sell it, then dilute it and use a small spay bottle, I've tried the ''natural way'' wasted my time. IME

I ordered roundup on Lazada, full strength stuff that needs heavy watering down, kills anything green!
