Pickling spices about one quid a small box.  Easy to buy distilled white vinegar, dill and sea salt here, which with a small thimble full of pickling spices you can make your own pickled vegetables.  So much easier to carry and cheaper than buying in the shops.

Just bring 50/cent more money than you think you will spend and all will be good. Travel light.

That will save a bit.

It's my wife and she does. She's a cook cook and buys at the wholesale market on Theppraya Road and catch direct from the fishermen. And makes a blinding pizza in a frying pan.

Decent wine........................ we recently packed 4 bottles of good French reds @ £9 - £15 supermarket price.

 

You can drop the razors, easily accessible at a sensible price in Pattaya.

Well there should be some actual bonding going on, if you see the same person over time, at that period, due to hormones.  If you are seeing different people all the time, I guess that isn’t a danger.  I suggest you just tell your partner that this is what you like and stop that annoying habit ...just like you probably don’t agree to only sniff kisses?

 

Na mate , i only do short time ,  bonding ? , what ever next .

  Your in need of a good steak n kidney pie , with mash and onion gravy .

  Help is at hand, Google pie man in thailand ...555

Paramol - contains paracetamol and dihydrocodeine and is the strongest otc painkiller you can buy in the UK. Fixes headaches and period pains fast. Can't buy it in Thailand.

You are correct, it sorted my period pains out very quickly !   LOL

But is it not illegal to import codein?

This is fun. Ibuprofen? Aspirin used to be hard to find, haven't looked for years as I brought lots...

I'm a Yank & miss Dr Pepper. Wife brought me some UK made from Singapore. UK mix not quite right compared to USA made.

I always bring coffee (being Yankish) and guitar strings.

I find those pods reprehensible on environmental level. It is not that hard to make a good cup of coffee.

Could copy the Chinese and bring 75% of the local food store.

Yep.......well 20 kg in my case....... not recommended for the faint-hearted.

No one mentioned bistro gravy granules or Oxo cubes yet..

 

also nestle gold blend blend coffee Refil packs are cheaper in Aldi’s in UK although deodorant is a big money saver

 

pickled onions as well

 

And a steak bake from Greggs to eat on the way to the airport 

 

have a a nice trip

When I’m not here I miss Som tam, sticky rice and grilled chicken

 

Its about 2.50 for a plate of som tam in the UK city (about 100 baht) as apposed to 40 baht down the soi in bkk

Been a while since I had one of those...????

Might want to just stay at home if you're going to bring all of that stuff with you. Most things you can get here just a little more expensive.

I must say though I always bring a raft og PG Tips tea bags with me though. somehow they taste better from the UK ????

Two smaller cases are probably a better idea
