What Would You Bring Back?

[uptheos]

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?

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.

The one thing I regularly bring here is chilli sauce, Caribbean or Piri Piri style. Cant really find anything similar here.

[Jip99]

Mature Cheddar cheese and Brie.

It would invariably be the hard to get/expensive food items.....

Colmans mustard

Branston pickle.

Mint sauce.

Those three things can be got in Chiang Mai on a as needed basis.

The cheese sounds good though

[smokie36]

Pickled onion Monster Munch.

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).

[Anthony5]

French cheeses, dried salami's, sliced Gouda, smoked ham.

PM me when the goods have arrived.

[smokie36]

Pickled onion Monster Munch.

Now available at most BKK branches of Villa esp Suk 33 and 11.

Not the pickled onion at the branch on 33.....they have some suck azz flavour.

Condoms that fit, not sayin am hung like a Tibetan timber wolf, but ya know what I mean..

[BKKdreaming]

clothes and shoes that fit you

shoes you have used before so they are comfortable , and an extra pair when the first ones get soaked in the rain,

spice packs you like or powdered drink mixes,

I pack 3 bags all the time but normally its small gifts , but I once brought a windshield !

[smokie36]

Duck feather pillows.

[bendejo]

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.

[eaglesflight]

50 Kg? My choice would either be a petite, blonde Eastern European girl or 100 large jars of Marmite.

[phazey]

As many jars of wholegrain mustard as I could carry, as strangely, the missus fell in love with it when she was over here.

[MW72]

Aberdeen mealie pudding. Irn Bru and regal king size. Maybe some Danish back bacon.

A friend tells me he can buy Bru in Patts but I live up north in the back of beyond.

[MW72]

And some Walkers shortbread.

Next brand isn't that cheap. I know a kids grandmother that lost control and clocked over 10 grand on that site. The kids well clothed though.
