MauriceVanTine Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I live up country the gent that installed my A/C units was able to find me one it came from Bangkok. They are available even manafactured in Thailand. The Brand name on mine is Singer. Hope this helps. Moe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Conners Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Interesting! How much does such a thing cost? Singer Thailand's website doesn't list any ice machines - does it have a product id or number or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seadoo Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Just buy a new fridge with one built into the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigt3365 Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I've seen these advertised back home, but can't remember seeing one here. Have you tried Makro? Maybe Central Department store? The only other thought would be to stop into one of those stores selling all sorts of commercial kitchen stuff. I've seen a few around town, I think one was on 2nd road...but can't remember where. I'll keep an eye open for it now. http://www.alibaba.com/product-free/239721300/Flake_Ice_machine.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Conners Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I checked Makro yesterday, they don't have any. I haven't looked for one in Central, but I trawl their kitchen gadget area regularly and I'm sure if they'd had one I'd have noticed. I don't think you can buy just one unit from Alibaba, they're usually wholesale only. There's a place on 3rd road, between Pattaya Tai and Soi 17, that sell industrial kitchen gear, they might have one, or know where to get one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Semper Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 (edited) Just buy a new fridge with one built into the door. A fridge can hardly be called portable. Edited June 30, 2012 by Semper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonewolf99 Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 what you are looking for is a "Scotsman" - but not in a kilt. I suggest you google for Scotsman ice makers and see if there is a Thai retailer/wholesaler. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oink Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 We have got one we brought from the UK but do not use as we have an ice maker in our big fridge. It is not one you connect to the water supply, you have to fill it up and away it goes. PM me if interested. Oink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moe Agree with schain3 above, didn't find the model on Singer's website, any further info would be great: - does it have a freezer built-in to prevent the produced ice cubes from melting until they are used? - any disadvantages such as high power consumption, bulky, heat, noise? - how does it work? Does it have a dispenser like the ice cube dispensers you see in fast food places or do you "dig" up the ice from a tray? - picture? - price?

gk10002000 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 (edited) Never thought of needing them before, but I kind of like the idea. A quick search of the internet shows many models, smaller ones around $100 USD. Plug in and go. Many you add water as needed and they have a "add water" light. Having owned a restauran my mind was thinking of of the large stand up units we had. But some businesses definitely could use a smaller unit. Maybe try the hospital or one of the small clinics around town? Seems to me they might need a small amount of ice from time to time on an as need basis?

gk10002000 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Perhaps getting closer. Ali baba site at least had a link to a company in Thailand for one type. Searching the site found many others. Not easy yet to find one explicitly in Thailand or Bangkok or Pattaya yet. http://www.alibaba.com/product-free/10771887/I_box_The_Ice_Maker.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MauriceVanTine Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 My machine went on the blink cant complain to much after three years of pretty much continious service. I am having problems locating parts for it all I need is the ice harvest motor and possibly a limit switch. One of the neighbors was talking about a machine for @ 10,000.00 B need to check on that will post if it checks out. Moe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
