"Serious if you havent found them after a couple of months why not just buy them from ebay or a similar site?

I'd say better than 90% of the things you need are available in Udon.......the problem is finding out where it's sold. A simple or a not-so-simple spring......a gasket......a specialty plumbing item......velcro in all sizes......desiccant.....strange chemicals......carbon granules.......get a hole rethreaded, or the guy that repairs wrap-around zippers on your suitcase for a hundred baht. They're all in Udon....if you know where to go.

As for those oven thermometers, try the baking store in between Siam Commercial Bank and Bangkok Bank.....or the more industrial baking store on the ring road near Farod's Restaurant.....I think they used to advertise on Udonmap.

Thanks parrot...I will look at those places for baking supplies and see what they carry. I am also still looking for a decent cookie sheet that will not warp almost instantly. (very thin ones carried by Tesco, Robinsons, etc)

As for the thermometer, thanks to one of our members, that problem is solved. He happened to have one sitting in a drawer, and offered to give it to me.

But it is frustrating trying to find things here. You know they exist, but which store carries them? I think a forum similar to Where to Eat called Where to Buy Things would be very useful, especially with map references. Sub-headers like Hardware, Kitchen Supplies, Baking Supplies, Plumbing Supplies, etc., with phone numbers and business hours, etc. would be most useful. It could also be a good lead generator for UdonMap.
