Popular Post Rc2702 Posted March 11, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 11, 2018 Jimbo seriously? Lack of your food here? What kind of food are you looking for? I see all the crap you get in uk here. If that is where you are from? Maybe not so much pies but pretty much everything else is here. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol and just quietly 80% if your list is quite readily available in Thailand. If I missed it that much I would just go down Makro and buy it.

akirasan Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 (edited) 1. Peace and quiet and sleeping in 2. Being able to go out without everybody staring at me like I have 2 heads 3. Not having a near death experience every time I nip out to the local 7-11 4. Orderly queues 5. Amazing music festivals. Issan country music concerts just aren't the same.

Popular Post TechnikaIII Posted March 13, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 13, 2018 (edited) Can you cook? I eat Thai food 90% of the time then make the occasional Western-style meal, anything from an omelette to the occasional casserole. A local stall has fresh tomatoes often enough, even potatoes! But I need to travel great distances to find real olive oil and pasta. But it doesn't matter that much. I'm much healthier now which is better. Seeing this sort of news from Australia seriously pisses me off: "Supermarket demands for unblemished fruit has led to a high level of waste in the tomato industry, .." The tomatoes I buy are visually imperfect but are fresh and taste better than most supermarket produce anywhere.
