MrE Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 How much should the deposit on a tank of cooking gas be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LivinginKata Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Last time I bought a full gas tank I paid 1,000 baht. That was years ago, maybe 1,500 baht at today's price (includes the gas about 340 baht). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimi007 Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Has anyone ever got the deposit back? Why would one? You just keep trading for a full tank without paying another deposit... Or of course you could be asking a rhetorical question? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebastianS Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Yeah, I keep changing mine to full one for a long time allready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TS79 Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 I think its more of a "buy the first tank" rather than a deposit. I think if you were leaving the area then the gas guy might give you a couple of hundred baht to take the tank if it was in decent condition. But aren't these tanks only certified for a number of years before the gas guy won't change it out anymore? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But aren't these tanks only certified for a number of years before the gas guy won't change it out anymore? Since the tank is changed all the time (unless if you insist on getting your own tank refilled) this really is a moot point.

thaibutty Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Has anyone ever got the deposit back? Yes, when I left Phuket in 2011 I brought my gas tank back and they returned me the deposit. Which was 1500 Baht, I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Croc Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Instead of asking for prices on a 7 year old thread on the Phuket forum, why not seek current costs in a new thread in your local area? Everyone will tell you that all things in Phuket are very expensive anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonbsails Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Cracks me up when someone asks a simple question, then, instead of answers....they get questions...or irrelevant info. Who cares WHY some wants to know the deposit? I know I want to know. I live in the middle of nowhere, ran out of gas cooking, and wanted to know the deposit to have another tank. That way when I run out, I have plenty of time to get another bottle, instead of all cooking ceasing until I get more gas. Does that satisfy the people that instead of simply answering a legitimate question they ask questions ( a pet peeve)...?? Just answer the freaking question or don't say anything . So, for the person gracious enough to actually answer that question, I thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
