BTW, do not know if you are interested in Koi, but there is an out of the way place in Buriram that sells them. 

Go west on the side street just south of Ice Furniture.  About 50 meter before that side street that cuts to Tanee Road you will see a Curtain making store on the right.  If you stand at the curtain store looking across the street you will see an alley (and you will probably also see the Koi sign).  Last place on the left sells Koi.

you must be psychic Urleft, it is koi that I have. Luckily they are fairly small but I need to desperately get some filtration media as I am having to change the water far too often as the pump and empty filtration tank are blocking up with "gunk".
I am actually south west of the city and will come in on the 218 road.
Thanks for the maps, as I only know where Big C is they will help me out.

Once again many thanks for the 2 of you and your help.

TB......if your after filter media you may be better off going to Pichais builders merchants as he now stocks Zelbrite at around 895 baht a sack.

Here's some specific directions for you. 

Continue on 218 past Big C, going past the 3rd light (the old circle).  Continue on about 100 meters, turn left at the 1st road with the bicycle shop on the corner (ignore the gate entrances you pass)

Stay on that very narrow road until it ends, turn left and park.  You should easily see the cutain shop I mentioned. 


Here is an overhead view.

Probably easier to turn left just before the 3rd set of lights. Then turn first right (flower shop on the corner). The curtain shop is about 200 yards on the left.

I shopped at the wholesale shops in Bangkok, wow, what a selection.  The market is open every day and is behind (attached to) the Chatuchak Weekend Market.  https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g293916-d450971-Reviews-Chatuchak_Weekend_Market-Bangkok.html

Thanks for all the info, got my wife a small concrete pond couple weeks ago, not knowing anything
about tropical fish didn't get any aerators or filters, and the water is as green as grass can hardly
see the fish, we got the fish from Lamplaimat, as we don't go to Lamplaimat very much, hence my
question for shop Buriram town.   character3

I am going to assume you basically have Koi in the pond.  You need a filtering system. 

I would recommend going the Korat store specified, get a filter barrel, pump, activated charcoal, several layers of filter fiber (different types), and try that. 

You are welcome to see my set up, just PM me.

Green water means way too much sun. move to a more shady position and add heaps of plants - good to shade the water even more and provide fish some shelter from the pesky long beaked birds. Drain the water and put new water in. I just put in tropical fish that are live breeders (guppy's, red swords, black molly's, they  look after themselves and multiply by the hundreds. No need for a pump. I just drain all the fish poo onto the garden every 6 months. my ponds look great. I get my stuff at the fish shop near the night market.
p.s consider chicken wire to protect the fish from those bloody birds with the long beaks that hang around the buffallo!

Thanks for replys  i must emphasize, small squiggly  concrete pond 1m by 40cm,  maybe the fish are different
coloured goldfish, not tropical fish, what do i know about fish, fish and chips that's about all, but my wife's happy
that's what counts, i will get something like a pan scrubber to clean some of the algae of the sides and change the
water.       oldmanwithstick
