Thanks not my bag but if it's your remedy then add it to the list. 

 

Oh for denture wearers steradent or super drug equivalent. Liquid plaster is amazing if you have a wound - just paint it on stops bleeding and is waterproof. TCP/Boots antiseptic liquid.

Any kind of chocolate for the family - they love it and it's far more expensive in Thailand. 

 

Roll on deodorants.

Nescafe instant. 

2kg of cheddar

You have way, way too much time on your hands !

It would be much quicker to make a list of things that are not worth bringing because they are cheaper and better here. It would be a very short list.
