bkk_mike Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Anything in the way of food items won't matter a hill of beans. They'll all be gone a short time later. As I eat Thai for every lunch and some dinners, the food I bring back typically lasts me about 4 or 5 months. And as I go to the US or Europe about 5 times a year, that is often enough to keep me stocked up on my western foodstuffs. (I also forgot to list mustard, Skippy peanut butter, jam, anchovy paste, canned roma tomatoes, and real maple syrup.) You can get Canadian maple syrup in Tops Market (quite pricey though). Personally the only thing I tend to bring back is squeezable Branston pickle (from the UK). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sceadugenga Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Books. Agreed, since I took up dieting specialty foods don't bother me anymore. Books are the only reason I bother weighing my case now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montri69 Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Looks like the "Brits" and "Europeans" are missing the point here. He's not going to England or Europe and most everything you've listed can be found in Pattaya and Bangkok. What I'd bring from the states are DVDs and music CDs that are NOT cheap copies and don't have Thai subtitles (movies). All the ones I brought here when I moved and have had sent since are still in great shape where as ALL the Thai ones are going lame. JMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meridian007 Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Yes, most of these things are available here (at a higher price, but that's to be expected), but there are a couple things that I still prefer from home. Anything cotton (bed sheets, underwear, socks, etc.), and Crest toothpaste (I can't stand Colgate). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bendejo Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 (edited) Gillette triple blades bought in Thailand, great shave even after 7 days. Best razor I've ever used. I dreaded the transition when I ran out of Wilkinsons, but I'm doing ok with Tesco disposables (swivel head). I shave every 2nd day (usually) and one razo lasts weeks. Add to my list: Edge shaving gel Edited October 20, 2009 by bendejo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trainman34014 Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Mrs Balls Chutney... Good Stuff! bourbon creams jersey royals daddies brown sauce good anglo/indian curry Bourbon Creams available in Tops along with many other 'Waitrose' buscuits. They are all pricey and often end up being sold for half price when past expiry date. Absolutely nothing wrong with them of course so tuck in. Many Waitrose frozen products in Tops too.

delmersomsri Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Found Miracle Whip at Tesco in Salaya. Still trying to figure out what "proper mustard" is?! My sister is comming from the US for a visit. Been putting together a list of items to bring. Lucky for her the list is small. I do miss my Craftman Tools but there is a weight limit . Small reliable kitchen appliances would be nice also but I guess there would be a huge import tax on those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
