fanjita Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Not a fan of Morrisons, and, more importantly, is the wife. We'll give it try just to satisfy the curiosity, nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just paid my water bill today. 60 thb for 2 months. Trust me, the price of HP sauce in Thailand is cheap in the overall cost of living.. I don't look at things that way, I don't eat Thai food, so paying way over the top for stuff l like bought in farang owned stores raises a question mark as to why. Mrs.Trans was up country and went into a no name Thai supermarket, she said they had lots of farang stuff, she brought me back a bottle of HP sauce, 100bht. Tesco is 135bht..To me there is something wrong if folk can stock the same as Tesco and sell it way cheaper.. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is clearly impossible that this cheese os sold more than 200 thb in Thailand. Your fake evidence is so funny ! You are lucky, it's not online, but next time I will visit bigC I will show you evidences that you are so wrong. Until then you can have fun with more casino products to compare: https://www.bigc.co.th/bigc-brand/casino-brand.html Where is our liar ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You want to call me a liar because i can't find the item on the Big C website? Then let me call you an illiterate because you can't read a forum. However I couldn't find it on the Big C website, it was much easier to find on the Villa market website. Take notre also that the item on the Casino site is almost DOUBLE the weight from what is sold in Thailand, and no Villa doesn't price it double of Big C Edited September 17, 2018 by janclaes47 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rarely eat Thai food but any western food that I really want I do my best to make myself. HP sauce and stuff like that I generally buy as it is easier that way and I don't use that much anyway.

Not so ridiculous if your Thai wife loves cooking and will only buy the very best ingredients that she knows where to buy . Believe me; good stuff is out there and is not so hard to find but in my experience many Thai women married or partnered to Farang are too damned lazy to cook properly and prefer said Farang to keep letting them eat expensive Restaurant food or is happy to let them go and buy little bags of poison from street food traders or local markets. Still; as many of them are so busy already drinking and smoking their lives away anyway they will never know what killed them ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upu2 Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 18 hours ago, JAG said: I'm not sure that is entirely the case - the vast majority of westerners resident here, especially if they are married to a Thai, will eat more or less what the locals eat most of the time. But it is nice to have the opportunity, from time to time, to take a trip down a gastronomic memory lane. Personally, I am a "cheeseophile", and love a piece of decent English cheese , washed down with a glass of cider. Cider is available (Moose, and Strongbow at a pinch, are OK, as is the New Zealand Cheddar), but oh if only I could find somewhere which sells Lancashire, Wensleydale, Caerphilly, Double Gloucester or Stilton! Most of the time it is "Moo Laab", various curries and grilled chicken or fish.... That's fine by me. I did say many. For me I prefer Thai food but there appear to be a significant number on TV that crave food from the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
