lampard10 Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 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?

Boh Bpen Yang Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 "TOYS"You know the ones I mean... You just can't get them here... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Not sure, but I think they may be illegal as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaiboxer Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shola Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 "TOYS"You know the ones I mean... You just can't get them here... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 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' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenkannif Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 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!

Gazza Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 "TOYS"You know the ones I mean... You just can't get them here... 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.

ProfessorFart Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 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....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chico Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 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!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Padkapow Guy Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 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.

cdnvic Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 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. cv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
