Sorry for a boring post on a Saturday night...Where in Pattaya can I buy a 'deluxe' can opener, by that I mean one that opens the tin cleanly witha rotary mechanism, very common in the U.K. for about £3?

I am tired of cutting my fingers on tin lids cut by the can opener/bottle opener style ones that cost 12 baht.

I have tried so far: Big C, Carrefour, Tops and even the massive kitchenware shop on second road nearly opposite Royal Garden.

Hey Wilson,

Try Home Pro beside Carrefour...I think I recall seeing them in there, but expect to pay an arm and a leg....

They're available at Foodland (Pattaya Klang, up from Carrefour) and the kitchenalia shop next door.

On an almost related theme, has anyone come across a spud masher? I have to have my occasional sausage and mash and trying to mash the spuds with a fork is a pain and ususally knackers the fork too!

Hungry

Robinson Sri Racha have spud mashers . We also picked one up at one of the supermarkets in Pattaya.Sory cant remember which one.

Anyone requiring almost any kitchen utensile,look in the Kitchen appliance shop opposite Thai Military bank on Two road.

2nd floor Friendship super marked in South Pattaya Rd. Or just plase the can on the oven and everything will go in the way of the nature

Again I bought a belter from the kitchenalia shop next to Foodland on Pattaya Klang. If you keep your eyes open I've seen them in a few shops.

Up on Sukumvit is a shop called (rather inaccurately, I feel) True Value. They sell a range of products apparently imported from USA. If all else fails, you could try there.

Whereabouts on Sukhumvit?

I've tried all of the other options apart from Robinsons but it's a case of 'Mai mii. Mii laew dte mai dton-nii'. Doesn't sound hopeful!

Still not got my can opener, tried HOME PRO'S next to Carrefour, had everything but a can opener. Some of the fridges/fridge freezers in there are fantastic!

I got a mash potato masher in TOPS, Sai Song/PattayaKlang but it is a funny squat shape, like a semi circle pastry thing, works though...expensive 280 baht.

True Value is on Sukhumvit , if your heading towards Sattahip its just past Theprasit Rd. Sort of opposite Tesco.

Have you actually tried where I suggested?. They have everything in there. Where is Robinsons in Pattaya by the way? Next time I'm in town I'll have to have a nose.

You'll have to wait a bit - it hasn't been built yet. they have just cleared the land on 2nd Road that used to be occupied nby the Ventienne restaurant.

the nearest Robinsons to Pattaya is Sri Racha.

That's why doctormann hasn't tried there yet..............................unless of course he's getting BKK direction off the Pattaya forum.

I am looking to buy a quality can-opener in Pattaya. I have been through six in the last six months and it is making me mad.

Does anyone know where a good quality can (tin) opener is sold?

Thanks.

Big C was selling a very stylish can opener, black and white kind of plastic, was in the range of 300-400 Baht, apart from the nice looking shape it was utter rubbish, better you go for the classic metal one for 30-50 Baht, at least it works!

Tesco-Lotus on Thepprasit had some nice ones a few days ago. Some good knife sharpeners, too.

Rather than start another thread, any pointers to a garlic press and spud masher in Pty?

where the hel_l is "Two Road"?

I think I've seen them in Tesco-Lotus, but maybe not always in stock. I'd suggest the big kitchen/dining wares place opposite (on the east side of) Big C in North Pattaya, they've got a huge selection of stuff, and it's very cheap, but not always of the highest quality.

I managed to pick up a cheese slicer at that warehouse place behind BigC...I thought it was cheap at 72 bt, but it turned to be 12 bt. Works too!
