dinga Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 G'day I've attached a photo of the 30 x 30cm floor tiles we bought in Rayong a couple of years ago (think the major markings on the reverse are "Made in Thailand" and "BIIa" - although the latter may be "BTTa", or similar). I need to buy a small additional quantity (4 boxes) of these tiles but am struggling to do so. Can anyone recognise these tiles and let me know the (a) manufacturer; and/or (b) the model/brand/type?

Crossy Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Have you been back to the original retailer, armed with that photo? They may even have a record of your purchase (Boontavorn certainly keep on computer for several years). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinga Posted May 7, 2017 Author Share Posted May 7, 2017 Sadly, I can't find the receipt. Tried a couple of shops in Rayong but the best we can do at the moment is 'no make any more' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 It was worth a shot. Do they have to be an exact match, or will similar do the trick? I've seen several variants on the theme at the big tile places (we're in Bangkok but Rayong must have similar places). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinga Posted May 7, 2017 Author Share Posted May 7, 2017 Prefer an exact match if possible. Intended to look around some shops in Rayong today, but got beaten by the traffic and gave up at the Tapong intersection (traffic was especially bad today). Oh well - there's always later in the week... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luudee Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 My experience has been that even if you find that exact tile from that exact manufacturer unless you find exactly the same batch, the colors will be off slightly. The batch number is usually printed on the boxes. When I buy tiles, I always check that they come from the same batch, and buy a few boxes extra - just in case ... rudi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem this time, is the proposed extension was unforeseen and its extent surpasses the "extras" purchased a couple of years ago. Good news is (1) have established my tiles were made by Cotto, and we've emailed them to see if they can supply a small additional quantity; (2) Failing (1), ThaiWasadu has quite similar (a newer version) tiles that we'll use as a fall-back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well - it's Plan B (ThaiWasadu) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
