butterisbetter Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Anyone know where to buy a neti pot in chiang mai? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realthaideal Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 I got the closest I could find to an official one by going to the big ceramics shop on Hang Dong across from the airport runways. Go find all their teapots on the shelves there, and look for one with a longer spout and a bore the right size to fit up your schnoz. I paid about 30 B for mine. Works just fine.

Konini Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Back in Geordie land, someone asking for a netti pot would cause endless amusement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmsally Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 About the easiest alternative is a plastic tomato ketchup bottle (refillable type - not used of course!) If you know someone coming from UK you could ask them to bring a bottle that comes from Sinu Rinse (sp?) kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
market trader Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 It was just last week that I read an article issued by the centre for disease control (CDC) in the USA. They were recommending that people refrain from using net pots after 2 recent deaths and multiple infections caused by neti pot use.. Maybe if you google neti pots you may find some information on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmsally Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 I think you will find that is because they use unboiled tap water. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaptainrob Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Medical supplies shops on Suthep Rd may have... south side opposite Suan Dok hospital and another near the Nimmenhaemen T junction. I don't know the name of either and they'd be easy to miss if driving.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Somnambulist Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 There's a store on the Mae Jo road immediately north of Rimping and Ruam Chok Market called Only Natural that carries two kinds, a ceramic one and a smaller plastic one for travelling. I bought the plastic one and even use it at home. I fill it once for each nostril. Works great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
