Konini Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Is it really a product? I was thinking it was a joke. Really? Cheese in a tin? And actually, when looking for alternative accommodation, I didn't want a condo - didn't realise there were such big ones here - and wanted a house. There were some not too bad ones for below 10,000/month, which surprised me a bit. Happy where we are, but if we hadn't have found the perfect one for us, I would have been happy to move into one of them and maybe spend a bit of money kitting it out the way I wanted it. And that was what I'd call in town, I didn't want anything out of range of red songtoews as I don't drive/ride here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMKiwi Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Dont start me on Monty Python..... can nearly quote Life of Brian verbatim. Finally went to Promenada today. Yes Rimping is a great shop and its so quiet out there. Quite enjoyed it. No big specials unfortunately. Smuckers jam down to 99 baht a jar.

HughJass Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 (edited) instead of paying 132 baht a bottle for HP Brown sauce i have recently discovered Phetcharats Brown Sauce which seems to be made by an English bloke who adores his wife so much he has stuck her face on the front of the bottle along with her name its good stuff though and at 55 baht a bottle is a huge saving on HP which incidentally isn't even made in England anymore Rimpings, Kasems, Northern Farms and other local outlets in Chiang Mai. http://chiangmai-sauce.com/ Edited November 5, 2014 by HughJass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worgeordie Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Hi HughJass, I have seen that sauce in Rimping,but never tried it yet,is it any good,is it an acceptable substitute for HP sauce ?,I have tried the one made in Chiang Rai, smaller bottle and THB 65, when i have visitors coming from the UK, HP is always on the list,prefer the Fruity HP,and its in plastic bottles so travels OK. regards worgeordie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Konini Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 I drink Dilmah, but the 130 baht ones from Makro aren't strong enough for most English people, from the north anyway. When we go back to Australia I always bring several big boxes of Extra Strength, the 3rd type by strength, and they are acceptable to most, but the ones you can get here are totally incomparable. It really is a case of apples and oranges to compare them to the strong 'builders' tea that the English like - 2 of those teabags don't quite do it, whereas 3 is too strong (and more expensive). It is very, very nice tea though. You can get the 'Strong' Dilmah in Malaysia, but often have to trail around several shops to find it, it's better than regular but still not strong enough; 2 of those teabags works well though.

beau thai Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 40k for a coffee machine?? No way, unless you need commercial quantities. 3k at Verasu buys a Buono 15 bar espresso machine that turns out 2 mugs of good strong coffee- better still with Hilkoff Peaberry beans.
