My large gas bottles are out of date. Approx 7,000 baht to buy new. I believe you can get them re-certified if you get them tested. All the local gas bottle shops don't do it and aren't helpful. They just want me to buy new from them.

 

Anybody know where you can get them re-certified please?

Siam Gas maintain gas cylinders.  No idea of the price.  The price might end up close to the same price as buying a new one.

I simply got new ones, they were looking a bit dodgy anyhow. They said they weren't allowed to refill them.

No can do. Bought new but the company i went with gave me discount for trade in. They will obviously go and get them re-certified. TiT

Sorted Baz....

Our gas cansister when empty just gets switched by the Gas delivery guy.

You might want to try that .

I am surprised to see the OP saying he hasn't been exchanging it previously. 

 

It's standard practice in the UK.......I used to be the "delivery guy" for a while in the UK.

 

We get the bottle exchanged in my Thai domicile as well.......I thought everyone did.

There was a time when I used to go to the Tienchai gas station on Sukhumvit  north Pattaya near the flower market  to refill my gas bottle  it was the only place in Pattaya I know of that would let anyone bring their own bottle for refill..you can stand  and watch them refill the gas by weight on a scale  and I'm convinced I did get more gas than from an exchange place...but now I live more than 20KMs away  its not worth the time,hassle anymore.

We would send all the empty bottles to a main filling/distribution depot.  The gas company collected them from us and replaced them, like for like, with full ones according to the list of "empties" that we were asking them to collect.  They were perfectly happy to take the "end of life" ones back.

 

I was forgetting that LPG filling stations are everywhere in Thailand.

 

I believe one can now self-fill at the relatively few suitably equipped petrol stations in the UK.

I usually refill my 16 kg gas bottles at a PT gas station. When I get to the expiration date I ask to replace them and they give me valid bottles for no extra charge - just pay for the gas.

Nah, just chuck it on the back of the truck and take it to be refilled. Have a spare.

What truck?

 

There are two other gas cooking facilities in our compound, and several charcoal ones, so there is no problem if it runs out.
