NarrLing Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 I always bring Vegemite , big smoke cured strips of bacon with the rind still on, pork sausages and pure honey(better than the stuff mixed with sugar water they try to pass off as honey in Thailand).

How frozen was it when it was unpacked? If that works OK, I might get my brother to bring over a couple of kilos of crayfish (the southern variety... not the WA type) when he visits next month.

sua yai Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 A number of years ago, I had the misfortune on the flight to sit next to a middle aged lady who was on her way here for a month's holiday. Not only did she nearly make me sick by insisting I help her finish her duty free bottle of peach brandy, but she told me that she'd packed pots, pans and other cooking utensils as she didn't trust Thai food or the cooking methods. Strange lady. Don't know how she got it all through security. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Burrito Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 Brought over a friend a bottle of plain dill pickles last time. He swore he couldn't find them at Villa or anywhere. I was too lazy to try and refute his claim. For myself; cheeses, Mexican food from Gilbert's in Santa Monica, steaks from Texas, Claritin, socks (can't hang with what you get here), Nocona boots, those granola type snacks from Quaker Oats and other companies. I'm sure I'll find even more eccentric things to bring back the longer I live here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simon43 Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 A few months ago I 'smuggled' the latest 'TOY' into LoS for my TGF who pleaded for me to bring her one from Blighty, cos she had never had the pleasure (if you see what I mean:) She likeed it so much that, wait for it, - she actually broke it!!! (No, please don't ask me how....) So I had to go back for a sturdier replacement on my next trip to London I hope she doesn't get to like it more than the real thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeRay Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 Clothes!!! As my wife has 8 siblings, she´s the youngest, we always import clothes to Thailand for her relatives.Used stuff like shirts, suits, leather shoes, tops,t-shirts, trousers, jeans all in top condition and perhaps "made in thailand". But as they are brand names they just love it and it´s for free.And on the way back copies for sale to friends at unbeatable prices and they love it.A circle of brands hopping the globe.

Had a reason though. It was for friend of mine who had a small guesthouse and was to be sold in his guesthouse. Got a free prime rib dinner for two out of it. Also when I used to come to BKK from Copenhagen I usually brought a smoked Salmon for same guesthouse owner. He loved smoked Salmon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
