luther Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 batik wax, re-positional spray glue, canvases, yarn of every sort, huge rolls of paper, imported pens, does it exist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westwind Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 'Samud Lanna' on a small soi next to old Novotel soi. (Between Novotel and SCB bank) I always go there for Canvases or oil paiting colors, papers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackr Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Yes there is, it's on Rajawithi Road, next door to the UnIrish Pub Don't know why people rave about this place. It's in a good spot and in a decent sized building, but the art supplies seem to be jammed in on the top floor (where it's hot), and the assistants I spoke to (Thai and English) were not helpful and didn't know their stuff. Perhaps I caught them on an off day or the clever one was out. Always found the art section of B2S (4th floor Airport Plaza) decent enough. May be lacking in canvases and prices are a bit steep, but they actually had a glaze I was looking for which the Ratwithi one didn't or anything close.

I've never really been happy with that store. It's okay for general stuff but no good for fine quality watercolour paper. I had to bring mine from Canada, along with my paints. It's like a lot of things in Thailand, there are lots of cheap immitations but very little of good quality. With all the talented artists I see in Chiang Mai I would have expected better. Bangkok is just TOO BIG to find anything unless you know the secret spots. Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinnymilinky Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 There is a little one on the moat road just before the turning for Ratpakhinai Road on the way to Chang Puek gate. It sells everything and is much cheaper than the other big stores. We buy all our stuff from there also to take back to the UK cause brushes are so expensive back home!

cusanus Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 I'm near to Chiang Mai and still looking. The Airport Plaza shop is Robinson's, too, I think, found some brushes and stuff, but they've never heard of masking fluid, no 1.5 inch hake brushes, only tube watercolors, no winsor newton stuf I don't think, pricey papers, don't think they have any Krylon spray coatings... no luck finding anywhere else and the directions of these places are a bit tough to follow as I'm 15 miles out and not a lot of time. Anyway, let's keep each other posted, or at least try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you get this, could you link to wikimapia here: http://wikimapia.org/#lat=18.7949503&lon=98.9873286&z=18&l=0&m=b and then pan the screen until the + sign is directly over the spot? Then copy the url with the new coordinates into the clipboard, paste into a new message, and reply to here? Or better yet, since I likely won't know it, send the URL directly to my email at [email protected]. You can also access my Facebook (message or friend), http://facebook.com/cusanus Thanks, partner. Include any more ideas or info. Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
