Mosquito Net ?

[rosie7789]

I am looking for a mosquito net, preferably impregnated with permethrin. Are they being sold here in Chiang Mai ?

Mosquito nets are upstairs (1st floor) at Warorot market. Haven't seen any impregnated with anti mozzie though.

You can buy mosquito nets at pretty much any market in the city. They are very easy to find. As cmsally said, I've never seen them with anything but just mesh though.

Also, I've noticed that in Thailand, nets come in a variety of colours, not just white.

There are a number of permethrin dips available. One of the better known brands in the US is Sawyers. If not found in Thailand it should be easy enough to have a friend mail a bottle from abroad.

Yes, and Tesco, Carrefour, Big C... they all have them in the bedding section...

If you'd ever need one is another matter, but then I guess some people like to sleep outside.

I don't think you'll find impregnated ones, usually the impregnating happens on the inside. (*ka-ching*) Anyway I don't think that's needed anyway. There's not much you can catch from nighttime mosquitos anyway until you go way close to the Burmese border.
