Griff4114 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Hello all I am trying to find somewhere to buy a spade like in the photo, I have tried the DIY super stores here in Udon Thani but no joy they do not stock it. Does anyone know where I can get this item in Thailand. many thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dageurreotype Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I bought one once, many years ago from a local hardware store. I'd wondered, quite possibly as you are doing now, 'Why so scarce'? There's a jolly good reason the locals use those long pointy swing up and over hoes to penetrate the baked earth here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckamuck Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I have seen similar at Global house. Also genuine gravel rakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would also look around the small hardware shops at the markets. They will usually have them without handle attached. Has to be purchased separately. "Do Home" store shows two such on their website.

sipi Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I bought a similar shovel and hoe from a truck driving down the road not far from Udon. In the right place at the right time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bankruatsteve Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I was in Udon Thani Global (the old one sort of across from Home Pro) just a few days ago and they have in their "garden" section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sipi Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 The gardening tools I bought off the truck were damn heavy duty, I suspect they were hand forged. I took a hoe back to Australia as it was far stronger than what we get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
