You Can't Buy That Here

[lampard10]

You must have all heard it from someone. Look what I brought back from home or 'When I go home I'm going to bring back..................'

Two of the funniest 'imports' to date what people have brought back to Thailand are Orange Juice and Rice. Anyone heard of any funnier imports?

One my very very first trip to LoS I brought my girlfriend, does that count?

Not sure, but I think they may be illegal as well.

[Thaiboxer]

I'm not sure about "TOYS", but since you can buy XXX movies in broad daylight on some streets in downtown Bangkok I wouldn't be surprised if somebody, somewhere is pedaling these things around. One of my former students at a Gov school was telling me how he has a stack of porno VCD's...and I'll bet he's telling the truth!

Thats next on my list when I pop back home! I think they are illegal here though as even Ann Summers won't deliver to Thailand.

Last time I bought back 'Pepperami's, Hoola Hoops, Jaffa Cakes and loads of choc! The next time my Dad visited he was under orders from my hubby that he 'must bring more spicy Peppelami's'

You can get toys here!

I get a lot of stuff sent or brought over (although you can get some of them here): cheese, PS2 magazines, Marmite, sausages, Jaffa cakes, macaroni cheese in a tin, dumpling mixture, suet, self raising flour, Paxo, rice pudding, Bovril, mini cheddars, all day breakfast thingies in a tin, etc.

I know some people though that had some Pot Noodles sent over!

I've seen 'Toys' for sale in Chinatown. Quite openly as well.

Not only openly, abundantly and cheaply!!

Look in any of the side streets along the main Gold Shop street.

How much did she cost to buy? Any warranty against flaws in workmanship?

I brought $40 worth of Flint's BBQ from Oakland, California on my last trip

You can get some old 'Dinky' and 'Corgi' toys from Chatuchak.

If you want 'Hot Wheels' then I know a man who knows someone who smuggles them into the country. But they come at a price and they move really fast.

nice relaxing topic!

I heard and saw people bringin in such trivila things as ... toilet paper and instant soups in packets.... well, many other kinds of foodstuffs too....

[fourbaht]

Any of the cute girls out there looking for "toys" PM me I have a very real looking one even feels like flesh and throbs if you would like to borrow it for a few hours. I promise I wont look..

[theviking]

Before, when i went here for holiday, i allways braught a nice 20 kg. of rice and some chilli. Just in case that i should end up on some deserted island somewhere....

[ProfessorFart]

I think Kennakif in #7 has got the 'most popular' list off to a tee in his post.

Some things I've bought myself or asked mates to bring include Holland's Meat and Potato pies, Vimto, Pot Noodles (the Thai ones just aren't the same!!) Videoed hightlights of the Summer's test matches, Viz Comic, Crisps, Rind on Back Bacon, Scrumpy Jack Cider.......

Every toy imaginable in Hadyai

[chico]

A friend of minebuilt a nice house just outside Pattaya, had a sauna installed and insisted on having a gym solarium - as they couldn't get him one in LOS, he had it imported for quite some money!

Says he is too lazy to go to the beach, and in the garden are too many insects!!

A straw donkey....no wait that was Spain

[Padkapow Guy]

Every trip I usally bring @ 8 bottles of cocktail sauce. I love the big shrimp that thailand has but I am not crazy about the sauce the use with it.

You should see the looks I get from the waitress when I bring out the cocktail sauce to put on my shrimp. PRICELESS!

[Boo]

Marmite, Tetley tea bags, as many bottles of baileys I can carry & bed linen, even the decent expensive stuff in LOS feels like sand paper, theres nothing like an egyptian cotton bed set after sleeping on the crap nylon stuff they sell in the department stores in Thailand.

[Jai Dee]

I always bring back a big jar of Vegemite and some Bundy rum.

[Oleg_Rus]

lots of chocolate, cigarettes, few movies and booze - good and dirt cheap russian vodka. and cheeze, sure.

[cdnvic]

Whenever I go overseas I take a big box of Tim Horton's donuts. I always run into some expat Canadians who inhale them like they were some circular chocolate glazed ambrosia (gotta be canadian to understand). That and some beer, whiskey, and smoked salmon.
