I agree with Rooo. Try the haberdashery shops.

My wife goes to one on the road from the lights near Tesco Lotus to the lake. It is near Poolmart (opposite the gold jewellery workshop) in the next block of shop houses towards the lights.

Surat Baan Suay sells it from a roll however long you want it.

Perhaps a word of explanation about what, who and where this is?

If a bit of time is not an issue I would look at AliExpress or DHgate.

I have never had any trouble with the items I purchase here. DHgate? A few times. Aliexpress? Always ok.

Thanks I need about 1 square meter double sided thanks

Well, even if they dont have that spec, if you can get close you can always layout on a backer and spray adhesive to size. Sq meter suggests you may have to be a bit creative. Not sure I ever saw this in sheets like that. I always have a small roll of aggressive type velcro wherever I go- that and a roll of black Gorilla Tape (that stuff is like superman duct tape). Good luck.

I enjoy doing projects where I have to pull a solution out of my butt. I buy Gorilla Tape in the US and have someone ship me when I have a number of things. I am unsure if they ship to Thailand. It is certainly something to have as a homeowner or renter. It is remarkable. http://www.gorillaglue.com/gorilla-tape http://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/gadgets/tests/4306415

Depending on what you are doing you can buy a blue or green tarp at home pro or elsewhere; these are usually ribbed with cloth to increase strength. Gosh, you could improvise most anything. I would cut to size then use spray adhesive to lay out my velcro strips to size. I would then place some heavy ass stuff on top of them for at least 24 hours. One point though: spray adhesive would be useful if what you will finally be supporting is not super heavy. If it is, then the spray adhesive would be your weakest link. Instead, I would look for some epoxy type product to lay the velcro strips onto the tarp backing. (Note: Depending on your project, you could even have the velcro strips sewn to a backing, this would preserve flexibility).

Here are a few links for various velcro combinations. Always read all the print when buying from these sites but you will get what you order- just read thoroughly.

When all your stuff is assembled I would imagine it taking about 60-90 minutes light work and 24-36 hours dry depending glue type. But when done, you will have your unique sized velcro boards.
