makecoldplayhistory Posted November 25, 2013 Author Share Posted November 25, 2013 I didn't make it out shopping today. As well as the crazy price of citronella oil, I also asked as the flame seemed a bit weedy with 3/4 citronella oil and 1/4 cooking oil. Any suggestions for making the flame bigger?

Capex Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 You can buy kerosene at any reasonable hardware shop on the island. Its usually stored near the thinners and comes in a bottle like the thinners does. If you ask for "naman gaht" you should receive a positive answer. Homeworks has it in 4 litre tins and it is clearly marked in both Thai and English. Good luck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

makecoldplayhistory Posted November 26, 2013 Author Share Posted November 26, 2013 Thanks for all of the replies. Apparently, it's not as easy to come by as you'd imagine. I found it today in a Thep side hardware store after trying Central shops, Bypass Lotus shops and other places. Camping shops (and the like) have moved on to butane cannisters. In the end, naman gaht worked. Esp. after a nice old guy transcribed it into Thai for me to show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
