jonnyscot Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 I think Pigeonjake has similar taste,,, but Yorkshire tea for me, Bisto, Scottish shortbread (so expensive here), lemsip and the last time we were over in October we also brought back a few of the tubs of fray bentos steak pudding which I hadn't seen before and were quite nice if compared to what's available here,, oh sometimes I come back with a shiny new passport using the express option but still have enough pages on both of them to last maybe another 2 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than that pretty much the same as everyone else, decent shoes, underwear, socks and maybe a couple of bottles of some nice craft beer if there is room in my case.[/quote You can get crumpets in Villa mkt!!

Leave her there and get a new one when you get back.Yeah, bringing your wife to Thailand is like taking sand to the beach. Not really. Your sand analogy implies a great many interchangeable items. To most people, 'wife' implies the one person in particular they want to share their life with above all others. Hardly the same thing. If your wife is just one of a million interchangeable women, why did you marry her? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wives are like boats, they're nice, but it is better to have a buddy that has one you can just use when you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have also brought them. Kitchen appliances are poor quality in Thailand, even from the good European brands, they have b-grade here.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mogandave Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I think the power tools here are a pretty good value, cutting tools and hand tools not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thian Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 (edited) I think the power tools here are a pretty good value, cutting tools and hand tools not so much. Only Maktec is worth the money but buy it new, it even costs more in the 2nd hand shops. Maktec is for hobby though, pro's buy Makita and Thailand has the 18V machines since last year and far not the whole line. Mostly Makita in Thailand are very old models. Hitachi is rare here but makita is better. Festool is almost not available but that's what real carpenters swear by. Thai wood is never cut straight, smooth or in a 90 degree angle. Bosch pro (the grey ones) they have but not much. Bosch green is also not very good but good for hobby. Black and decker is very bad but cheap. Hilti is also not here but that's cheap in Hongkong. I met many Europeans in the hilti shop there. So which ones do you consider good value? Edited January 13, 2016 by Thian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mogandave Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I like the Makita grinders and Bosch drills. I bought a Hilti here, they are available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is one of the few times where I think Thailand is more sanity and a bit ahead of the times than the U.S. What moron designed toilet paper? It's less sanitary and wastes paper...
