uptheos Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Probably a topic that has been done to death, but never mind. If you were visiting several European countries, Poland and Czech republic plus the UK, and had say 50 kg allowance in your bags plus hand luggage after necessities. What would you bring back to Thailand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard_smith237 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Recently I've found myself bringing back higher quality 'Baby' items which are much cheaper in the UK.... Such as: Push Chair (x2 - one light weight) Travel Cot Clothing (for a toddler - from NEXT) Footwear (for a toddler) Quality kids toys Most quality items are cheaper in the UK than in Thailand.

Upnotover Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 The one thing I regularly bring here is chilli sauce, Caribbean or Piri Piri style. Cant really find anything similar here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those three things can be got in Chiang Mai on a as needed basis. The cheese sounds good though Also in Pattaya - but the Colmans is 210 Baht for a small jar, you need a mortgage to buy the pickle/mint sauce and the cheeses are pang! (Extra mature is 179 a quarter - and I can get offers around £5 a kilo - the Brie is around 1,000 Baht a kilo). When I had a restaurant I would bring back tea bags, sage and onion stuffing, horseraddish and a Christmas cake (made by my ex- mother in law).

bendejo Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 After loading up on what I consider essentials that are impossible to find out here, like certain vitamins, shoes my size, decent shaving cream (Edge, which is actually a gel), decent olive oil, spices, and so on I'll fill out my bag capacity/weight limit with things to eat and have a mad munch fest my first few weeks back. Also some things in cans and jars that can sit around for a while, like maple syrup and jams. When I lived in Brazil my neighbors looked forward to me bringing back candy, so I was obliged to carry 2 lb bags of jelly candy and huge Hershey bars. Something absurd about bringing chocolate to Brazil and eating it on a cocoa plantation, but all the chocolate candy in that country has the taste of powdered milk.
