Does anyone know where I can get plywood cut to size?

I think just about anywhere...ask for a "technical man". Ask your neighbor, security, property agent...also I think MegaHome carries lumber so they could probably cut it if you buy it from them. If not, ask one of the staff. Finding a technical man is about as easy as putting your empty plastic bottles out by the curb and watching them disappear.

I've just been reading about plywood in Thailand because our kitchen cabinet doors are 100% cheap MFD (no frames) and over the years have gained some dampness and they have all swollen. They all need replacing so I did some reading about plywood but discovered it's not as good as I had hoped.

As already known plywood is sold in Thailand but most is poor qaulity and buckles very easily unless it's in a strong non-twist frame. E.g. cupboard doors. As above, our kitchen cupboard doors have no frames.

Plywood also swells quickly if it get's wet / damp and doesn't return to the original shape.

Also available, in different qualities is Marine Plywood; doesn't buckle so quickly / easily if it get's wet.

Would very much appreciate If any mebers can share any alternatives for new kitchen cupboard doors, with frames. House is located in Chiang Mai city but I realize that any door / furniture factories who do this work are probably located a few km outside of CM city. Thanks.

There is nothing wrong with the plywood in Thailand. Any plywood or flakeboard exposed to water will have issues.

Seal the plywood/flakeboard well and a use a good oil-based paint and it will be fine,

Just buy plastic cabinet fronts and or doors. Or if you're rich, buy solid teak and just oil it every year or two.
