Does anyone know if you can buy dry ice on Samui?

You may need to check with some importers of food like Colibri or Choice Food etc.

They might be able to help as they import frozen foods from BKK all the time.

Just ask them to put a few kilo extra in. It will cost you a small amount I would guess.

There's a Nigerian guy who might point you in the right direction.

But not so hygienic..

And a little damp! !!

As dry ice needs to be kept at a ridiculously low temperature I wouldnt think any of the refridgerated trucks going to Samui could transport it. As there is no specialist industry on Samui using dry ice then they wouldnt bother sending a specialist freezer lorry down there that could cope with it.

isnt it possible, that hospitals use/need dry ice, maybe ask there for more info.

(But not the Nigerian connection....

I dont think the ice was dry when they relieved him of it.

In the US, the relevant law defines a dry ice bomb as: "any sealed device containing dry ice (CO₂) or other chemically-reactive substances assembled for the purpose of causing an explosion by a chemical reaction."

You want dry ice for what, exactly?

Its dry ice added to water that creates the smoke that rolls along the floor on stage sets and videos...I expect thats what he wants it for.

Dry Ice doesn't need to be transported; you can transport the liquid CO2, which is self-cooled by evaporating off some of the liquid. You could try and ask at a place you get welding gasses and the like...

Has anyone tried that shit?

There is now a dry ice shop on Sanam Bin Road close to the airport. It is not referenced yet on google map. The phone number is 084-5584357.
