I take back cashews. My friends all ask for those dried guppies with chilis in them too for beer-thirty. On return I stock up on coffee - much better and cheaper than here. Toothpaste, shave cream, blah blah blah

Thai condoms for my mates with small peckers

Crude, juvenile and yet somewhat funny.

T'is a true, intimate and caring friend who knows their hat size, waist size and condom measurements.

Over the years we have taken everything from an electric motorbike for the boy to a barn noi to a satelite dish. We have raised some eyebrows at customs.

Curtains? Good grief, man, pull yourself together.

We need to know if the curtains are net price.

A friend of mine took a bum gun back to the Netherlands.

Odd. They're on every kitchen sink in America.

I took a kitchen sink back. Loads cheaper than back home.

For gals: OPI "Infinite Shine" nail lacquer. It's called a "vinyl," and is longer-lasting than regular polish, but is NOT a "gel" that has to be especially applied and removed. They make both a primer and a top coat, and have a lot of cool colors. My favorite nail place in Bangkok hadn't heard of a "vinyl" polish and wanted to charge me a mint for a gel--meaning I'd also have to pay a mint to come back and have it professionally removed.

Lancôme's new "Grandiose" mascara--not waterproof, but smudge-proof, as proven during Songkran. Can probably get at the duty-free in London or on your intermediate stop. Not cheap--about US$40.

A nice set of candlesticks and non-drip candles. Here in Chiang Mai we lose power during thunderstorms. I use hurricane lamps and non-drip candles--scented, of course.

A rechargeable flashlight.

A set of nice bath towels (hand, washcloth and bath-sheet) in a funky color.

Sheet sets. They only seem to use (and sell) is a fitted bottom sheet and blanket on top. I prefer a top sheet on top of the fitted sheet in hot weather.

Stain remover for washing. I found Oxyclean (at an exorbitant price) in a Villa in Bangkok, which works well along with their usual detergent.

Unusual foods from your country: black pudding, haggis, bangers, whatever. Depending on how well you know them, you could serve a typical English breakfast or luncheon, including carrots and mashed potatoes. You can buy an insulated bag with freezer packs to keep them fresh. I also bought a lot of different cheeses--cheddar, bleu, brie--pick a few and serve them with English-style crackers and their local fruit.

I'm confused. Are you talking about stuff you bring TO Thailand? This thread is for the other direction.

Tiger Balm

Be careful with that. There have been reports of customs officers in western countries confiscating it because they are so stupid that they think it has real tiger in it.

Thaibeachlovers: note that in the thread was a post by Faz asking "

What about bring gifts from your home Country back to Thailand?

In the UK everything on the underside says 'Made in China' "

I'm not from the UK but when I moved here these things were hard to find. Maybe not appropriate for the "beach" you're living on...

This is tuonsai's thread. If Faz wants something different he can start his own thread.

Strictly speaking, your post was .

Mangda.

Tha Thai sun......its different to UK sun
