So I've looked around Pattaya in most of the shops (BigC, Tesco, Central, Powerbuy etc) and am struggling to find a decent Panini maker. Can anyone suggest where to buy in Pattaya or surrounding area?

Something like this would do nicely

or can also be a simple version like this

Thanks in advance.

I have one of the top versions shown in your post which I bought at either Central or the Powerbuy in Homeworks on On Sukhumvit (Next to Big C). Both had them at the time which was about 2 years ago. Both stores seemed to have quite a good selection of various small kitchen appliances.

Kitchen joint next door to Foodland on Pattaya Klang.

The kitchen place near Foodland is top draw, lots of items in there including potato mashers even.

Makro had some panini makers /grills in there a while ago by Cuisismart or something but were about 8000 Baht, more than double the price that I paid for mine in UK.

Was in Central today and they definitely have the Cuisinart model. Almost 10,000 baht though.

If you're still looking, I saw this Sunbeam- it's on Collingbourne Auctionioneers' website for tomorrow's auction. Good luck!

makro has some in a Holiday Gift island near the free coffee and water. Not a big machine, and I didn't check the cost, but I would guess it's reasonable.

Great stuff chaps, appreciate all your kind suggestions, I'll have to get loaded up on ciabbatta by the looks of it

oh and well spotted Michaelaway! great find, I'll have to check it out tomorrow for sure.

So...? What happened!?

I bought a Phillips Cucina 3-in-1 toaster iron in Home Pro a few years ago; it has replaceable irons, one set is what you'd use to make panini. I think it was around 2,000 baht. Of course it's not industrial strength, but if you only need it to make occasional panini at home it's fine.

I did the same, not industrial but great for the kids everyweek!
