All I Want Is Some Chalk :-)

[bigt116]

Hi all,

as the title says, all I am after is some chalk, (different colours if possible). I have tried Tesco, Carrefour, Office Depot and Toys R Us here in Bangkok, but to no avail. Does anyone know where I could buy some chalk, please.

Thanks all

Wow....hard to believe you couldn`t find chalk...though I have never seen any in Thai...I would try a Art shop around Siam Square or Mbk

.If you can`t find any why not try make some

I've seen it on the top floor of Central Chit Lom too (also B2S IIRC)

I needed some and also found it difficult to find. I gave up looking and asked my wife, she went to a stationary shop where they keep it in the back room, away from children!!!!! I asked why she seemed to think it was because there is something poisonous in it. Do not lick the chalk! Like my old teacher used to do. So, go in a stationary shop, and ask, as it won't be on the shelf.

Might have something to do with the chalk you buy for ant control which does have an insecticide in it, the guy that gave me some had no idea until I told him to keep it away from kids.

Odd that... it was on the open shelf in Central Chit Lom.

There seem to be two varieties - the original calcium carbonate and newer dust-free varieties. I found out in the UK years ago when I bought a pack to use in my bicycle puncture repair kits - the dustless varieties are, as the name suggests, no good for grinding into dust for coating new inner tubes/patches
