For those of you living in Thailand, this post might not be very interesting. But for those of you overseas, I thought this might give you a sense of the flavor of Bangkok. Praew and I discovered this small street side store front (‘tuktaew’) that has a remarkably good selection of tools and tool heads.
The have everything from industrial machine tool heads to screwdrivers to precision calipers. The shop’s name is “Technotool” and it is located directly across the street from “Suan Thon”.

We were looking for a “hole saw” for cutting the holes in the electric box for routing the wires in. They had an incredibly complete selection. And the place is tiny. It is about the size of our bedroom.

Here is a picture of the inside:

This is the inside of the shop. My camera wasn’t wide enough to get both shelves (left and right). But basically, you are looking at the whole shop.

Here is the entire outside of the store:
