Greenside Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Yes, I know Ali Express, Lazada, Shopee and others have them but the suppliers are all from China. I saw them here in town about a year ago but old age prevents me from digging up the memory. Have tried: Home Pro, Index, Baan & Beyond and Staples so far with no result. Help?

Dante99 Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 If you do not find what you want, consider a sheet of clear plastic cut to size. The shop opposite the piggy bank, the pink one, on Tippanet Road has the sheets and cuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenside Posted October 1, 2019 Author Share Posted October 1, 2019 Are you sure they have the material that is rigid enough? I know the shop but thought that everything I've seen there was on rolls and the kind of mat I want is pretty rigid - you can't fold or roll it tightly. I went to a shop near the station which was similar to this one and what they had might work if it was stuck down but that would defeat the purpose of the exercise...

They have it, small samples on the desk so you can choose thickness. It works.Sent from my iPhone using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffkp Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Good luck! When I moved to CM 5 years ago, I tried to find one. No one had any idea what I was talking about. I eventually bout an small tug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you cut an interior corner it is likely to crack unless you cut it with a big curve. Not sure they can cut curves but may be worth asking. I have only seen them use a table saw. Probably want more than 1.5mm, I have always bought 3.0mm or thicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheeryble Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 I bought one, pretty sure it was in Global few months ago. Strong, clearish, and shaped to go under a desk or table. Price not bad. Be careful you might get told they don't have them......communication.....think this happened the second time I went. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenside Posted October 5, 2019 Author Share Posted October 5, 2019 I thought I saw them there too - luckily it's just around the corner so I'll try again. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenside Posted October 5, 2019 Author Share Posted October 5, 2019 Cheeryble, you're a hero! Hunted around the back of Global House, found a staff member who actually looked like they understood the area they were chatting working in, showed them the picture and hey presto - two big piles of floor protectors. 90 x 120cm PVC @750 baht each. Exactly what I've spent hours looking for, so many thanks. Moral of the story: The front desk has no idea what they're selling in the shop.
