Where can I buy 20 litres drinking water bottle metal pouring stands?

It may help you get some replies if you added a few little words like please and thank you, other than that try either Google or the search engine on Thai Visa forums

Expect they are few and far between as most people prefer to drink cooled water here (so put into a cooler) if they can afford extra costs so would not have any need for them (if below is what you mean).

[Woofer]

Yes, that''s exactly what I mean. I have a rental house and I was going to install a filtration system, but the agent told me not to bother as many renters don't trust these system. They prefer to use bottled water, so I was looking at least supplying a stand. I reluctant to supply a refrigerated cooler as these type of items going missing very easily from rental houses.

Thanks for the photo. I will do a google search.

Cheers

You can buy a counter top cooler for about the same price as a filter and can take that with you to use anywhere. But for cheap this should do what you want.

Often see them [the chrome swing stand/pour type] at Makro

[Woofer]

Thanks. I had a look at Makro a couple of times, but I couldn't find them. I will keep looking at Makro to see if I can find them.

Hi,

For all those living in the Ayutthaya area,and reading this, my wife and I purchased one of these at the big 20baht shop diagonally opposite Wat Mahathat. It cost about 400baht.

Thanks, but I live in Pattaya, so I need somewhere a bit closer.

Surprised that locals don't know where to get them.

I left over 8 years ago I even know.

If you go round the back of Big C 2nd road one there are shops selling them there, have been for many years around 200bt along while ago by more than likely 300+ now.

There now you all know.

N/B the swivel ones are the best (The one pictured in red. Also in black) and easiest to use.

Let us know how you get on, big slap on the wrist if I'm wrong but I know I'm not.

Clearer directions.

Go up 2nd road till you get to Big C go just past then turn right going down the side. Go to the end sort of T junction the shop that has them is over the road on the right.

Normally come in a box but they will put them together.

Your welcome.

Next time maybe put your post in central Thailand section more peeps might know.

The S/Steel one is for 5lt bottles not 20lt just a bit of trivia.

I have seen them in numerous places in Pattaya but I am sure that they are available in a shop on the Southbound side of Sukumvit, right before the Pattaya Floating Market. The have numerous types, some with wheels, two bottle carriers, etc.

Mine is like the one in the picture on stand far right......... when I got water delivered [man on motorbike with side-car] I asked him, next time he passed he dropped one off at my home, back then cost 100 baht, still in use 11 years on, there again, 20 lt water bottles delivered were 8 baht each !! .. use different water delivery now and cost 50 baht each.

The real nice ones look more or less the same at Makro were S/steel but cost something like 1.200 baht a couple of months ago

Thanks, I will give both places a try.

Has your water got Gold in it 50bt a go.

We don't use them anymore as have a filtration system. The last lot we had delivered 8 I gave him 90bt 2 bt for tip = 11bt a go, that was 3 months ago, not Patts. What do they do there now think of a No: and double it.

40-50B is common for Pattaya, for the large blue bottles.

The opaque ones are cheaper, presumably because the water inside was not passed by the management.

No gold in it, but a lot better direct delivered from manufacture, if I bought the cheap one from the man with side cart he stills delivers in Village but these days has gone up to 15 baht..

As for a filtration system, yes bought one way back in 2003, constantly need new parts, + the cost of the filter cartages, the pressure tank rusted out for the 2nd time by 2005.. The question I ask myself then and now if I bought another of these expensive systems will it last or cost less then water delivered.. at least in past 2+ year the water is Pure and delivered at the same time, makes no difference it the electric goes out can still have a drink.

[Woofer]

Thanks for everyone. I purchased the water stand from the shop suggested by Langsuan Man, Thanks for the GPS co-ords it made it very easy to find. The shop was not that far from my house.

Cheers

[Langsuan Man]

Thank Google Street View for the GPS coordinates and you are welcome

[NanLaew]

I bought one yesterday at a kerbside 'shop' that also does plastic wheel trims and hammocks on the west side of Sukhumvit (same side BP Hospital), about half-way between Nua and Naklua traffic lights. Cost 250 baht.

The wifey bought ours there. It's been a while back though.

[Woofer]

Thanks. I will have a look next time I am in that area. I managed to purchase one on Sukhimvit Road at a shop just before the floating market.
