PiPiFFS Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 As you approach the traffic lights after going through Nathon where you would turn right for Immigration. go straight ahead but turn immediately right into the tyre place. they sell washed out drums for I think 500 baht. Just ask at the car spares place there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The folks there don't speak a word of English and I was cussing myself for realising that I don't know the Thai word for metal! Having said "not plastic" a dozen times tho, it all worked fine. They have a variety of drums, only a couple of smaller sizes, but the 50-gal/222 litre size they've got 20 of, plus a load of big plastic tubs too. All perfectly washed and cleaned out ready to go. Well worth knowing this - thanks for letting me know. Drum sitting under my house waiting to be used . . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
