Thanyaburi Mac Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Tried Tesco-Lotus, BigC, Foodland, TOPS, out in the Rangsit area, all "hava no." Nothing complicated, just a simple one, similar to the attached. Seen any around? Mac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonytigerbkk Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Hi Mac, I haven't seen that type of thermometer in Thailand but on Sunday I am going to Mega Bang Na to try to find a sugar thermometer, so if I see an oven thermometer while I am there, I will advise you.

lopburi3 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I would try Ebay - have not looked in more than 20 years but they were not apparent at that time - this is low price from China with free postage and many other listed. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Home-Kitchen-Food-Meat-Dial-Stainless-Steel-Oven-Thermometer-Temperature-Gauge-Q-/251545077845?pt=UK_Kitchen_Accessories&hash=item3a91414855 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdietz Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Got them at Villa a while back, they got the 'stick' types and oven types. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thanyaburi Mac Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 Guys Thanks for the tips. I might drive downtown (ugh!!) for a check at Villa, It's only one hour to the Tesco-Lotus at Suk Soi 50, then BTS up to Nana and hit the Villa on Soi 11. If negative, bus down to Suk 33 and try the original place. If neg again, shed a tear, have a Singha somewhere and head home. Too bad the Texas Lonestar has gone bye bye, that was my suds sipping place for many a year. Mac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billd766 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Hi Mac I have bought 2 of that type from Villa in BBB now and they are not that good. If you drop it once then best you throw it away as the needle comes loose and it will read anything it wants from then on. nasty little things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thanyaburi Mac Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 Well, if not expensive, might still be better than what I have now, zip. Sure don't trust the dial on my oven! And, if I open the door to check status of some cookies, for example, I let all the hot air out so just takes longer to cook. Mac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefox999uk Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 (edited) The only one i could find was a stick type and from Lazada, (a tad expensive). http://www.lazada.co.th/gefu-black-139344.html Works ok....my oven was reading 40 degrees out.. ie....160 on oven dail.. 200 on thermometer my bread comes out a treat now. i know i could alter the thermostat, but, i know the off set now so haven't bothered. hope this helps. Have a nice Day. Edited September 18, 2014 by firefox999uk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrjlh Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Found mine at Siam Center but that was a few years ago in 2011. Might try "True Value". They carry many "western" made gadgets of all sorts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrjohn Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Makro usually has them......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thanyaburi Mac Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 Ah, MAKRO, there's one up on the Klong Luang Road just north of Rangsit, thx for the suggestion. Nearest TrueValue is over on Tiwanon Road, awkward to get to from out east of Rangsit. Hold on! Just looked at their www site, they have TAYLORs oven thermometers listed, plus they've expanded to new locations, including Sukumvit soi 26, and closer yet, Ramintra. Might try the latter this morning. Thx. Am surprised that IKEA doesn't have these: I am sorry ka k.Thompson, the oven thermometer is not available at Ikea Bangna.

AliasJohn Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 If you get stuck, Veerasu on Wireless Road have a range of thermometers to choose from. All restaurant standard however a little expensive as they are top noch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thanyaburi Mac Posted September 19, 2014 Author Share Posted September 19, 2014 Thought I already commented on today's trip but looks like it's gone MIA.... So, .... I made the run down to the TrueValue outlet at the Promenade on Ramintra, right next to Fashion Island, about one hour down, 40++ km. Lots of goodies to see there, remembrances of a TrueValue in the U.S. Costs not too far out of sight. Note, tho, this outlet is kinda small so they're more oriented to household, picnic, small tools and gardening. Reckon one or more of the other outlets will have the large tools, wheelbarrows, etc. Anyway, they didn't have this specific oven thermometer in stock, had a couple of meat types, stick-ins, fridge types, but not for ovens. Asked the gals, one made a phone call to HQ, and they have it in stock at another outlet. Will deliver tomorrow. But, I really don't want to drive down there again so soon, so I asked the gals about posting it to me. Well, sure, can do, just leave another baht 20. Good deal, sez I, and did so. BTW, the oven thermometer ran baht 220, reasonable enough, I think. Mac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 The one I posted from Ebay is about 80 baht delivered so if same type seems to be a good markup - but guess that is to be expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AleG Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 I've seen the same type of thermometer (three or four different models) at the department store of The Mall Ramkhamhaeng. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
