    Default Lighter flints and repair, Bangkok

    feel free to move this.

    I have this pretty nice Dunhill gold butane lighter that belonged to my dad. It needs a minor repair to the flame height adjustment screw. When I finally tracked down Dunhill at the Chitlom Central Dept. Store, they don't carry lighters, and were talking about sending it off to Hong Kong when their regional manager hits town someday.

    Without ruling this out, I'd love to find a place locally that can repair this lighter, but where I don't have to have any fear that they'd fuck it up. It has huge sentimental value, and not insignificant monetary, as people collect these things.

    Finally, it also recently ran out of flint, and while I can find white gas for it ALL over Sukhumvit, I'm damned if I can find a shop that sells lighter flints.

    Suggestions?

    Try the watch repair places first. I've had a couple of quality lighters. I managed to lose the wheel of one whilst trying to change a flint and thought that I may as well throw it away (couldn't do it!). Found a place in Pratunam, which not only repaired the lighter, but also stocked genuine flints & gas!! Unbelievable! Not without a ridiculous hike in price of course, but at least comforting to know there are such places out there.
