Siam What

[Mojomor]

There is an ad on the radio for western food products which sounds like Siam Breeze or Barese or similar. The guy reading the ad has a strange accent. It refers to a Facebook page also. Try as I might, I have been unsuccessful in locating this place. Does anybody know the correct name and/or location?

 

Many thanks in advance

Siamburys, play on Sainsburys which is a UK supermarket chain. I think they are somewhere on the darkside. 

That strange accent is Yorkshire, in England.

Thank you Champers. I found it at the top of KhaoTalo.

 

Good prices and a good selection of products. Pity it is so far away. Bring a list is my advice.

And plenty of cash too, I imagine. I would have a lack of control, I think.  It is a bit too out of the way for me, but sometimes needs must.

When you say "top of," do you mean at Sukhumvit or the other end of Talo? Thanks.

Other end.

Siamburi's International Food Mart, top of Khao Talo where 'Khao' means hill, so top of Talo hill. Just over the back actually and on the way down other side and only about 700 m from Tungklomtanman 9 so very dark-side accessible. Specializing in discounted British & Swedish imported stuff including short-dated stock that is approaching the 'best by' dates but everything they stock has a usable expiry date and NO past-due items.

 

They have a very good Facebook presence where the owner keeps up to the minute with specials. It's almost worth getting a FB account for... well, almost.

 

Bring a list is good advice... and then come back with a mate and double-bag some more!!

Like the OP, I have listened to the ad on Radio 103 many times and couldn't decipher the name of the shop. So, thanks to the posters here for explaining the "Sainsbury's" connection.

 

I visited today and found several goods that I had not realised I needed urgently. Some nice cheeses, proper pork scratchings, mincemeat, jelly babies, etc.

 

It's a small shop, but packed to the gunwales with items from home. For me it's a 30-40 minute drive from home, but I expect to be a regular customer now that I have found it.

 

I feel really sorry for Siam Expat Food on SSCC, which was my old favourite, but I found it too difficult to get to. They must be suffering terribly from all the delayed roadworks.

Over the roughly 3.5 to 4 years I lived on Noen Pub Wan, I'd never heard of these stores: Siambury's nor Siam Expat Food. Thanks for pointing these places out. In return, I highly recommend the Prime Meats shop out NPW. There is almost nothing they don't have in terms of quality dressed meats, pies, sausages, curries, etc. It's all fresh frozen. You have to ring the door bell. Sometimes takes a minute or two for someone to come out. Here's the map reference:

Make sure you have bought legitimate Jelly Babies though.

 

It's an easy test, just open the bag, turn it upside down and all the little b****rds fall out.
