Thread: Engineering Supplies

Where in Thailand would l find an engineering equipment supplies outlet.
What l am looking for is a range of Lathes. Mill Drills, Tig Welders, Sheet Metal Guilotines & Folders etc.

Your best place to start is Chinatown in Bangkok.

ToolPro (I only know of one in Udon) has some of that stuff.

Try http://www.boomtools.net/?lang=en the area of Bangkok this shop is has some huge Eng retail shops, try Thai yellow pages

On the road out of Bangkok going to Samut Sarkhon not too far is along the way a lot of second hand machinery lots have a look you may find what you want.

^^^ Thanx for the responce, but l would like to get new equipment, the links supplied only supply simple hand tools.
When the time comes, it might be better l get what l want from an engineering supply hose here in Australia, the one l usually go to is Hare and Forbes, they have on the floor anything you require.
Load it into a container and send it to Thailand.
That raises another question, would l be slugged with Thai import duty, making it not worth it.
Maybe l could get it from China ( thats where it all comes from anyway ) and have it trucked to Thailand, do they check all loads entering Thailand ??

Yes. Massively.

Find the maker of what you want and contact them to see who their importer in thailand is.

^^^ A friend of mine goes to China on business, l will ask him to get some information.

Here are a few ideas.

Sheet Metal Guilotines -

^^^ l just thought there might be an outlet in Thailand,, Bangkok even, that would have a range of equipment on display. Every thing from a jewlers lath to the larger CNC type, like in Australia,, Hare and Forbes here have show rooms in most capital city's, they also have a web site.
Where do Thai's go when they want to purchase equipment.

^^^^^ l wont be in Thailand till November--December, any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Nothing like Hare and Forbes here.

You decide what you want and then go to that shop. no "mega marts" here.
