Maybe just 100-200g, I forgot to mention it needs to be food grade.

1000 baht for 1.5 lbs is a little over the top.

under 800 baht for 10 lbs on Amazon.  Why is this basic substance so difficult to obtain in Thailand?

Maybe because it's in little demand, wonder what the shipping costs would

be for 10 lbs from Amazon.

You might try asking at one of the chemical supply houses like Union Science.

Yep, Union Science have a surprisingly good stock of such items.

'Clays' are on the shelf to the left as you enter the shop.

Around 100bht/500gm

World Chemical Fareast Company has carried it in the past. Click the "orange flask" icon you see located in the middle of this map section: https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1f2M3V9dd6dwcdfj1iv1pqVEr-9E&hl=en&ll=18.762527561917206%2C98.99457941046808&z=20

But is it food grade?

[CMsojourner]

Sorry, only saw your original post -- missed your last requirement. You would have to check with World Chemical, but it's likely industrial (for pools) rather than edible ....

HI all,

any luck with finding Diatomaceous earth?

Looking to apply on my pus to control tics & fleas

TIA

Contact @tierlock .  I think it was 250g for 300 baht with EMS shipping (food grade also).   Worked out well.

 

A friend of mine ordered from a different source (overseas??), I will try to find out where.

PipingRock has some good prices on these things;  I can confirm from a friend .  The airmail shipping from USA is reasonable, but you may have to buy a lot for the savings.  @Tierlock is worth a shot deal if you just want a small test amount.

Hi,

as mentioned I do have Diatomite amorphous type freshwater foodgrade. Product from Mexico. It is a ultra fine powder ( less than 10 microns ) that is safe to use on pets ( and even as a supplement ).

The price is: 299B for a 250g bag EMS included ( inside Thailand ). If you are interested you can contact direct: [email protected]

As to order from the States, I am not sure about what customs will think when it comes to a white powder substance... That is a risk I won't take but I can be wrong.

 

Best regards,

Thierry

I ordered 2 bottles of DE from vitacost.  Vitacost shipping is $10 to Thailand. It arrived no problem.  You can find it on lazada now too but more expensive.

How long did it take to arrive?

 

Seems like @tierlock has pretty good deal (that's local)

My orders from vitacost and iherb take around 3-4 weeks.

 

2 bottles of this(3 lbs total) for about 890 baht with shipping.  Hard to beat that price here.

Diatomite is mined in Lampang and there are usually several hundred kilos for free beside the road wherever they transport it. Is that food grade?

 

Most of the pits are unattended so it would also be easy to carry a large boulder of it back to your vehicle as it weighs almost nothing.

Hi, if anyone is still interested I supply this product. 

 

800baht per kilo (food grade) 

Delivery anywhere in Thailand
