lopburi3 Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Have no idea if available or not - but I have never seen them here. Thai use a much thinner version. Edit: Suspect the reason I have never seen is because they are not required here where all construction is supported by piles and beams and walls are non-supporting.

I've never seen them either, but to build my pool this is what my adviser said I should use. Seems like they have them down south.There are plenty of swimming pools (and with the look of the weather forecast just now....will be plenty if pools) in Isaan, they must use those smaller cinder blocks? Maybe they have those smaller blocks in cement and make like a cavity wall with cement and reo in the middle?Sent from my SM-J700F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Don't know but maybe they pour concrete over rebar framework like doing a driveway/piles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rice555 Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Hello All, they do have them in LOS, but hard to find. A member from CM had some, and they were used in some of the MRT station construction. I've not found any in the Korat area, and have looked. There was a thread onetime in the "building forum" about them. rice555 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HauptmannUK Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Very similar to Nanoblock - widely available. I purchased from a small supplier in Udon. Bought about 1000 to build a retaining wall using rebar and then concrete poured into the cavities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long way from back of Kuchinari, Udon closer.Not meaning to question you, but are the ones you got the 8" cement blocks, or the cinder blocks? I want to build a swimming pool, so need the big strong blocks I think.Here is another pic.If they are the same, you gota name and address if the supplier?Sent from my SM-J700F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
