circusman Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Perhaps this is my last resort. I have spent over a month in Chiang Mai looking for a simple eye dropper. I have asked in every pharmacy I see with no luck. They want to sell me eye drops or something that has a built in dropper. I just want some plain droppers around 8 cm long. I need them for my tropical fish hobby. Pharma has none and I can't seem to get a working phone number for Fascino. Any ideas guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaptainrob Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Try the medical supply outlet on Suthep road. On southern side near all the banks and opposite community/government health building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARISTIDE Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 (edited) Or opposite the Saundok Hospital both pharmachoice and Fascino 18.789033,98.9734 Edited January 21, 2013 by ARISTIDE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DowntownAl Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 (edited) The aquarium shops all the west side of the moat south of Suan Dok Gate - 18.785519,98.978096 on google maps might have what you need. There are several fairly big shops along there. Edited coordinates Edited January 21, 2013 by DowntownAl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

circusman Posted January 21, 2013 Author Share Posted January 21, 2013 Aquarium shops don't have them as I visit everyone in town and out regularily. Medical supply would be my best bet. Any chance for a name or phone number on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARISTIDE Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 So you're telling him to "Kee Chang Jub Tak Ka Tan"? buy some eye drops pour them out and sterilize the eye dropper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramrod711 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Most veterinarians have them, they call them syringes. They are not syringes, they have no needle, we use them to give our cats oral medicines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginkas Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Many chemists also have syringes, in differing sizes. Bought a couple in the pharmacy at the Night Bazaar, like Ramrod711, to medicate the cats. NB - They ARE syringes "A syringe is a simple pump consisting of a plunger that fits tightly in a tube." Ramrod is thinking of "Hypodermic syringes which are used with hypodermic needles." Same Same but Different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circusman Posted January 21, 2013 Author Share Posted January 21, 2013 (edited) Will stop at our vet on the way to Sizzler this evening. Eye drop bottles and droppers are pretty small for what I need. Pharma has none and Fascino phone numbers don't work. Thank you all for the nice advice. In case your wondering what use I have for these, some baby fish need to be moved. It must be done gently or the backbones can be damaged. These little devils are smaller than the letter i.

purushanti Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 If you are going to the Sizzler at Kad Suan Kaew, you might try the pharmacy in the basement opposite Tops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Semper Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Maybe you could check at Pantip for "syringes" used for refilling printer cardriges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circusman Posted January 21, 2013 Author Share Posted January 21, 2013 All thoughtful ideas but a syringe would be too traumatic for these tiny, tiny fish. Tried 3 pharmacies in Airport Plaza today. No luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tywais Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Wonder if one can use a basting syringe? Though those may be hard to find also. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sante Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 When I was looking for an eye dropper I was told to check Union Science Company on Suthep. It's a science & medical supply store. I didn't follow up on the search but they may have it. Here's the online site address: http://www.unionsci.com/index.php?lay=show&ac=article&Id=5380650 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uptoyoumyfriend Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Wonder if one can use a basting syringe?

Jayman Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 (edited) Try a children's clinic. They have tons of them they give you to help administer medicine orally to infants. Edited January 21, 2013 by Jayman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circusman Posted January 22, 2013 Author Share Posted January 22, 2013 Thanks everyone for the suggestions. We called Union Science Supplies and they said no. I refused to believe there are no eye droppers in Chiang Mai. I downloaded their catalog and they have plastic one piece pipettes which will work. At least they have them listed. We will check after the graduation traffic madness. By the way, this place appears to have every piece of chemistry equipment that any mad scientist could hope for.

VocalNeal Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Most pharmacies/chemists have plastic droppers. 10B BUT you need to go to a proper pharmacy/chemist and not a shopping mall one that sells makeup, whitening cream and other female sundries. Or has been said buy a syringe. Also 10 baht Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaSan Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Chiang Mai Plastic in Wararot Market has a section in the middle of the store that sells empty medicine bottles with droppers for about 20B. They are in a glass case in the section that has temple incense and candles. If you've never been in there, it's worth a wander - I call it the Everything Shop! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circusman Posted January 22, 2013 Author Share Posted January 22, 2013 Neal. Pipette is the word for these. The Union supply catalog shows them. Yes, they would work if I can find them in the Union shop. Pharmacy workers don't associate these with the word eye dropper. When in fact they do the same job.

FolkGuitar Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Have you tried showing a picture of what you want? That always gets the job done for me. Every real pharmacy would have what is pictured above. Even PhamaChoice and Boots. Stitchawl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
