And so the exodus of quality expats begins. This time it's personal

My daughter has come home from school with a project to create a piece of fruit.

Paper mache and water colour paints I thought, easy.

But where do you get wall paper paste in Chiang Mai? I have tried Global House and Home Pro, they dont have it!

Any ideas?

Thanks

I don't think you will find it called wall paper paste. But Latex Glue is available just about everywhere from small bottles to 5 kilo packages. Any office supply, hardware store, Tesco, Big C. When I was a kid we made our own glue out of flour, water, and a little salt.

See this link for recipes:

You can make paper mache paste with flour, water and salt. I wouldn't use that for something like wallpaper, but it will be fine for a project with temporary life like a paper mache school project. I remember as a child I made a globe of the earth out of paper mache, investing much time in painting the global map on the surface. The morning I was to take it to school, I discovered that (quite literally) the dog had eaten my homework!
