Another request for help from me! I want to buy some vernier gauge calipers (I think that's the correct name), which have a digital readout and are used to measure the inside and outside diameters of pipes. (up to a few inches in diameter). I havn't seen them in hardware stores, so is there a specific Bangkok store which sells them?

Thanks

simon43. Loads of engineering tools around area of Chinatown weekend market, known as Yaowarat. Sorry cannot be more specific. Vernier Gauge is correct name. If you have trouble I have a Thai friend who has a hardware shop in Chumphae near Khon Kaen he could get for you and send. but don't forget to specify Digital, or you will get none digital.

Vernier is the same in Thai, only pronounced Wer-nee-ah:

The calipers I have say Wer-nee-ah Loh-ha.

I have an extra set of digital read out that are rather new. I prefer the old manual style so if your interested in purchasing PM me.
