All depends on turn-outs. It's kinda hit and miss. One week there could be just five. Next week there could be 20+. No specific reason for the difference. People just turn up as and when they need goodies. You can take your missus being as the wives sit and do their own thing also.

Regular customers include expats from England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, USA, Canada, Australia, Germany, Scandinavia, Turkey, Holland, Belgium

This is why I love the solitude of living up in the sticks!

These type of gatherings are not for me.

You may very well reside in Pattaya or Bangkok and be able to avoid 14/15 GBP delivery charges. All good for you.

As I wrote prior ' location is everything in Thailand'.

Looks like they are having a ball.

Only problem for me is my hearing is not good and if more than 2 people speak together then I'm lost.

Coleman's mustard

Branston Pickle

Lea and Perrins Worcestershire sauce

Big C have Coleman's mustard and Branston Pickle. (Chiang Rai, but I presume nationwide)

 

Tops often have Lea and Perrin's.

This stuff, a local version is in Tops. 1/2 the price for a much bigger bottle.

Doesn't compare to Lea & Perrins. Sorry.

The OP asked a question, part of which was specific to getting a supply of Worcester Sauce. I suggested a possible solution.

 

If it compares to Lea & Perrin's, well that is really up to the OP if he reacts to my suggestion.

 

But thank you for reminding me why I don't usually bother to answer these sort of questions!

You are quite right, but one glance at IvorBiggun2's avatar should alert one to the  kind of answer you are likely to get from this person.

Variety foods on Lazada have lots UK foods , spent 600 Baht free delivery ,,,

regards worgeordie

I tried to take advantage of this but there is not much of a choice, they are taking it back in other ways ie about 50% added to a can of Princes corn beef. Scandalous.

They do nationwide delivery for siamburi's . Delivery a bit pricey but they got everything.

They have not got everything, nowhere near it, and you are limited to at least 1000 Bt, unlike Lazada.

Yes, but they are the biggest rip off supermarket of them all.

Is it really so hard to click "register" and see what is involved?  You need to enter your name and email and they send a link to your mail to set up a password. It's literally the least strenuous things ever. 

Used them several times, their products are good, their prices are good, and for where I live in Bangkok there's a flat 300 baht delivery which is not great for a 250 baht block of cheese, but fine if you are ordering a bit more.  I normally do a 3-4,000 baht order at a time so the 300 baht delivery is nothing.

Amazed that someone has to ask someone else to explain the registering process rather than just clicking on "register" themselves....

I tried all that to try and register into Shopee and found it impossible, so I gave up, and it is not down to me as I have had no problems registering into Lazada, Expat Foods or anywhere else.

That's exactly why I have had to cancel using them because the delivery charges wipe out the good choice and savings.

 

For delivery I was paying 500/600 baht.

 

Either they are making a lot on delivery charges or they should look at cheaper options for nationwide.

I also had to cancel an order because of the high delivery charges.

50% add on Princess corned beef compared to who ? , the price has gone up

at all sellers , Check out Highway Corned Beef on Shoppe about 200 Baht but

you have to pay delivery , but its just as good as Princess ,

Yes you are dead right, any other brand is round about the 200Bt, especially on Lazada, that is what I have been buying.

I really miss these gatherings, used to have them regularly when I first came to Thailand about 16 years ago, but everyone has either died or moved back home or elsewhere, now I am the only Farang for miles around.

It could have been worse, there used to be a regular poster with an avatar of an ugly shirtless guy with a very hairy chest.

I used to bypass his posts very quickly.

Shopee's site is jolly secure - impenetrable in fact.

When I try to register on the app, using a phone with a Thai (DTAC) sim card, it tells me that the service is not available in your country!

So it is not available in Thailand then.

Quite frankly, it's not the discrepancy in prices that alarms me, but the kind of diet some of our expat friends are existing on....
