JJ, Home Pro will have them. Here Store Location for a start. Click on Chaing Mai from the drop down list of locations and you get a google map. I believe they have two branches.
Try global house. They have everything and way more than any of the other home shops. Better prices too.

We're using them everywhere so , yes, about 300 sqm.
Plus we need floor and wall tiles for two bathrooms.
My view is we only do it once so get the best.
No but unglazed. So after 7 years they look aged. Couldn't find the aged or aged look when I built but may be available now.Quote:

One thing to think if you have the time. Big outlets like Boonthawarn have seconds. Which are perfect to the eye and the contractor. Think about looking for some of those to save just bit on the two bathrooms. Our first house we did this and saved a fortune.Quote:

Dont just go to one place. Make it a day with a stop at the Rim Ping market for all you need in great food for a while.
Good luck and keep this one going.
I'm led to believe by a spik friend that there's sealant/treatment you can rub in that seals terracotta and protects it. I shall seek further info.Quote:

We're in BKK all next week but then CM the week after.
There is. Several brands. Should be able to get in CM. Look for impregnating stone sealer. Works good on terracotta.Quote:

No worries. I'll be trucking them from CM to The wilds of the north. As and when I find the right product I'll let you know.Quote:
