Does anyone know of a timber yard that can supply me 8 x 4 ft sheets of 13/12 laminate Baltic / Scandinavian Birch ply 18 & 15mm

Bangkok or Pattaya

TIA

Is that also known as 'marine plywood'?

I'm after some to build a boat too!

Yeah basically the same gear, although Marine ply is supposed to have a better glue holding the 'plys' together

Not many yards carry birch ply as a stock item in Thailand. Can be ordered direct from Russia / China or you can have the local factories lay it up for you. Price is about the same, however minimum orders are in the 250 sheet region either way.

Just do an internet search & a dozen european plywood exporters will pop up. There is also a veneer factory in Saraburi that carries 0.8mm - 1.1mm birch veneers in stock. Sorry, don't have the link handy at the moment.

Another option is "chang" plywood. As strong as birch, however a fair bit weightier. Just ask for "mai ut dtra chang" & most yards will be able to order it.
