    A funny thing about these jars. You have to let them fill very slowly, initially. If you don't, they will, quite literally, explode. We had a 1200 liters version of one of these that exploded into tons of small pieces, because I filled it too quickly. I didn't allow for the ferrocement to absorb the initial water, before continuing to fill it. Thanks again, Brian, for making this video for me. You are the man! I have posted links to it on a number of different forums and websites, online, for those who have asked about the "Water Jars of Cambodia".

    Hey Thanks for posting this. I was in Thailand 29 years ago and watched these being made, bit bigger but not that different. The factory I went to was trying out three different kinds of internal molds. If I can find the pictures scanned I will post a link somehow or make a short clip from them.
    The jars in Thailand were going for about $20 and had more than twice the volume, maybe four times. They put the stoneware water jar business out of business.

    Hi Brian. Are you still tracking these comments? We live across the border in Chanthaburi and ate interested to learn more about this company...prices, delivery etc...do you have any contact info for them? Cheers

      How many do you want? The builder wasn't that interested on sending them to Thailand. They thought you could get cheaper ones there. From memory the are 20 usd for a big one, but shipping will be the killer.

      @@itinerant_economist Brian, cheers for the reply. If 1800l then 4-6 for me. I have as friend building a place now as well and I have a message in to him to see if he wants any. BBang is about 170km from here via Pailin...I have not found a place that is closer as yet, many made in Thailand are up in Issan or the North, all much further. I figure with asean trade those would cross the border easy but I'm not sure...in any event yes I would like delivery is well. Bulky but light, probably 6+ fit on a flatbed Hino 500. Hope can discuss further. Wife's sister speaks khmer so we can chat by phone if they like. Appreciate your reply. Hope all is well there. Cheers

    It is great to see and sad to hear. SEE the work ethic and quality. HEAR that they get crumbs for pay. Thank you for posting Mr. Kemp. I want o make something like this, have made smaller ones, but want like this or large, however, everyone tells me I would get in trouble for having sitting water becasuse of mosquito's. Curious how they deal with it there. I see the covers, but do they just open when it rains or funnel it somehow. My other concern, is the freeze/ thaw I would have to deal with. But I am researching and will have to use some of the newest resipes that are everywhere. Bravo to you and esp. The workers.

    These are only to carry water? Are they like the ancient jars?

    • @itinerant_economist
      @itinerant_economist  6 років тому

      Cle Wood4all storing water for the house. They are similar in design to ancient water jars, but are made out of cement now. The shape must be one of those "It works so don't change it" type of things.

      Removed once the cement has hardened overnight
