bananafish Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Anyone know where I might find these in Chaing Mai? In the UK, you can get them in boots and most £1 shops, but I haven't found them anywhere here. Alternatively, what would come in a 100ml bottle that is cheap to buy and easy to empty for reuse?

CobraSnakeNecktie Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Union Science on Suthep road has a lot affordable containers. http://www.unionsci.com/ Lots of good stuff there. 1 kg of epsom salts for 45 baht. Near the intersection of Suthep and Nimmanhemin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tango Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 There is a store, across from and west of the CMU Pharmacy sales building, on Suthep dedicated to all sorts of containers. A wealth of sizes, shapes and materials. Inexpensive. Yes, they are likely to have the 100ml size. It's a shop house, not well marked, so a short 'walkalong' is in order to pinpoint it.

arunsakda Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 If you are trying to prepare 100ml containers for air travel the thing to do is find some travel size containers at Watson or Boots, dump the contents, and replace with what you want. The reason is if you get the real jobsworth at LHR etc. he will confiscate any way as your generic unmarked plastic is not a "commercially recognized branded product".

I flew 96 international flights last year and and on track to do over 120 this year and every flight I had a clear carry-on toiletries bag with only 100ml or less "unbranded" liquids containers in them. Never ever had one second look or query OP if you want to get real cheap and only need a few head to one of the hotels and give the housekeeping staff 50 baht for a few of the empty shampoo bottles they supply to the guests.

Uttertosh. I'm a commercial airline Captain and I have had my small measure of aftershave in a plastic mouthwash bottle from a hotel recently confiscated even though I am listed as Pilot in Command for the flight. I do plenty of personal travel as well. There are no guarantees anymore. These jobswoths are out of control. Another Captain recently had his pocket corkscrew taken at LHR. Skies so much safer now. ( How do you think the stews pop your corks? Our mob has lever operated corkscrews mounted to the galley but there is a point to be made here.) Just tried to add a bit of well meaning advice and I don't think it's rubbish. Edited May 8, 2014 by arunsakda 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the serious side I have had stuff confiscated at Bangkok that I was allowed to carry on in Seattle. Not sure but it was a half liter of mouthwash in Seattle and toothpaste in Bangkok when I was transferring to my trip home here in Chiang Mai. You are rite. There are no guarantees.

SamSipEt Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Only have in your hand luggage what you are prepared to lose. Totally agree with arunsakda about Heathrow being staffed by out of control jobsworths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante99 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 MuJii in the front corner of Central Dept Store, 4th or 5th floor, Central Festival has a variety of good small plastic containers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinnieTheKhwai Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Lipovitan energy drink comes in 100ml bottles. However you can still taste the stuff no matter how many times you clean them, after refilling with whiskey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
