Oil for treating wood floor
Teak Oil is available in Home Pro in Bangkok and I'm sure I've seen it in Home Pro Hua Hin as well.
We have a hardwood deck and banisters, and I've treated this with Teak Oil and it works very well. We've done the same for all of our outside Teak Garden Furniture.
In addition, we have treated a few indoor items.
Teak Oil has a smell that'll last for a few days on a whole floor I guess, but it is specifically for Hardwoods, gives a lovely colour (natural, no stain added) and really lets the wood breathe
There are several Thai brands and a few imported ones. I always use Cuprinol and if I remeber well, it costs about THB1200 for 3.5 litres

I know what you mean about the floors. You only need to wet them to see the exquisite ( 
) colours come to life.
I believe 'teak oil' is available locally. It is used on boats to protect and enhance the finish of decking .
I have tried it but i would welcome any input on a solution to this as I am building a traditional house with good quality wooden floors.
My 'little oracle' and source of all Thai knowledge
tells me they used to use a candle , rubbed sideways on and then vigerously rubbed with a course cloth or sacking when she was at school. It aparently works but she's gone all quiet on me now as she has just realised she might have talked herself into a job!
Bit of a development...
She's just told me that there is a product available at the 'shops that sell paint' that is a clear lacquer . It is scuff proof and none slip but relatively expensive.
It's amazing how the prospect of hard work can jog her memory somtimes !
