June 30, 20178 yr Thinking about buying a barbecue in the UK and bringing it back. Is the gas bottle connector going to be the same as the gas bottles in Thailand? If not, is it possible to buy adaptors? Thanks in advance.
June 30, 20178 yr System is, in line, bottle - regulator - hose to bbq. Buy the bottle, regulater and hose here and fit them.

Probably better for him to buy the BBQ here as well. Otherwise he risks considerably raised eyebrows both when checking in for his flight from the UK and, again, when passing through Customs at BKK!

I have one that I brought back flat pack from Oz with no problems. Bought the bottle,reg and hose here. A bit heavy but business class 40kg, so two of us 80kg covered it.

July 1, 20178 yr All the above, but the propane regulator thread is the same here as in the UK. "I don't want to know why you can't. I want to know how you can!"

July 1, 20178 yr Author I'm not taking it on a plane, its being shipped by sea with a bunch of personal possessions.

In which case you might wish to consider how the grill which you are planning to purchase in the UK compares in price (including shipping costs and Customs duty as well, of course) with a similar model purchased here - e.g. www.bbqgrillsthai.com Not to mention that any replacement grill which might prove necessary during the guarantee period would clearly be much easier for you to obtain had you purchased the original here rather than in the UK.
July 3, 20178 yr Would suggest you obtain extra burners as they (even SS) do not last long here in the high humidity. Buying local does not guarantee availability and most local prices for actual grills have been quite high for anything but Chinese tin foil quality (tried a replacement from major DIY store and lasted less than a year before rusting away). I have a small Kenmore very thick aluminum model from 1977 and is still being used - but have to replace burner every couple of years.
