Lacessit Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 When I lived in Chiang Mai, everything I bought in the local markets had rubber bands. I had a hook in my kitchen to hang them on, dozens of them. Now I'm in Chiang Rai, there is a famine of rubber bands. Nary a one to be seen on anything I buy. I'm suffering from withdrawal symptoms. Is this a cultural difference between the two cities? Is there a rubber-eating golem on the 118? Should I apply for a work permit to import them for obscene profits? Can some kind soul tell me why is it so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sceadugenga Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 All of the local markets I go to still seal plastic bags with rubber bands unless they have built in handles then they just tie them off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big market up from the clock tower with a smaller white clock tower only seems to have the handle type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The peanut lady around in the Western entrance seals her wares with rubberbands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should bring your own rubber bands, bought on the local market. May be the photo helps? Usually 5 Baht/bag.
