Ken Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 I buy the gas in Korat. Weird, but I found it at a watch/clock shop. The shop had a stand outside where they display some repairs etc, and in the stand they had the gas. And I've seen it at more than one shop like this. What the gas has to do with watches or clocks is beyond me, but that is where I have found it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoneyboy Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Doesn't every 7-11 have it you have to ask as it's behind the counter if I remember correct. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kamalabob2 Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Many of the smaller watch repair "stands" use lighter fluid to clean watch parts in Thailand. I was taken aback the first time I viewed this choice of cleaning fluid being used to repair a decent watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coobah666 Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 yes around there and also try on the corner where a bloke has a glass cabinet with some BB guns and watches on display,am going into town today will do a drive past and have a look and report back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 I think the OP is referring to a butane type gas lighter, and that gas is usually contained in a pressurized can. Many common zippos take the fluid type gas and that is easily found, and probably 7-11. But never seen the pressurized gas at a 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 ok thanks everybody but found it near the market nearby tot office in a shop selling clocks and watches 30 Thb for a can downside no adapters come with it I've bought two cans in the past. Both came with adapters, though the lighter I was refilling didn't need them. I still have a set of the adapters (5 sizes), if you can't find, I could post to you.

KaronSteve Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 I think maybe your next post will be "where can I buy flints" . Even in Phuket with hundreds of lighter sellers and shops selling copy Zippo's they were very hard to get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many common zippos take the fluid type gas and that is easily found, and probably 7-11. But never seen the pressurized gas at a 7. Yes, I found a butane filled can for my handheld stove lighter in the Ubon Big C. It cost 40 baht a can and was sold by a vendor next to DTAC booth. The vendor also sells flashlights, digital clocks, bb guns and all sorts of odds and ends. Maybe you can find one at Big C in Mukdahan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
