Try searching for Rainbird and Gardena products online. I have used the Gardena microdrip system coupled with a water timer before, but have found cheaper alternatives at HomePro. Rainbird is more towards the large scale gardens.
Alternatively, if in Bangkok, walk around the Chatuchak garden area next to the Or Tor Gor market, I've come across some interesting hydroponics and other irrigation products.

Thanks Vincent, i should have said, its mainly for watering fairly large areas of grass and the rubbish "cheap ones " that the "water technician " installed either stop working, spray everywhere except where intended, etc etc
yes i constantly unscrew them, adjust, but to no avail...

I installed a sprinkler system at my house in Hua Hin probably 14 or 15 years ago. Never replaced a sprinkler yet! I bought the equipment in Bangkok, but the place no longer exists, and I beleive most of it was imported.
One thing, it is essential to have an inline filter and a "master' solenoid ahead of the main line pipe.

Dont think it was this, but may be better than local supplies. Also on Lazada.
