kmart Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 (edited) I bought a huge parcel of Tetley tea bags in Banchang, Rayong. One of the restaurants there orders and sells them. I have a cuppa every morning at work. (PM me for name and phone no. of restaurant). Viz comic I have seen in Bookazine Pattaya, Fat slags and all,... What do I miss? - Branston's relish; Marks & Spencer undies and socks; fresh cuts of lamb; good pork pies; quality chocolates; Marmite; etc. No big deal really.

leisurely Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Virtually everything on the list so far is available to me in BKK (she says smugly) , anything I want that isn't there or unjustifiably expensive I make pickle etc. The only thing I can't manage is marmite but I just get tons bought out by friends and relatives. I would agree with Stella Artois and haffa cakes though, also big bosom bras and lovely liquorice especually the basset hard stuff....... and Crunchie bars, I am actually drooling now and it's not pretty Brillaint idea though good luck with it. Another thing that has just struck me is children's toothpaste. Quality stuff colgate etc, not the bubblegum flavoured tut taht is available here!

p1p Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Most things mentioned above are available here, if you know where to go. The following however are next to impossible to find, at least in Chiang Mai. Size 13+ shoes. Good beef or pork for roasting. Neck end lamb for stewing. Why can we only find the roasting cuts. Decent offal. Veal liver, kidneys or sweatbreads, (Lamb the same.) Other meats. Second the call for Atora Suet above. English beer. Scrumpy. Good vinegars and or oils. Baby peas. Bitters Good quality beeswax furniture polish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p1p Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Italian expresso coffee... Ahh the deep satisfaction of living in Chiang Mai with not one, not two, but three Rimping Supermarkets - take your pick of REAL Italian Expresso beans or ground - expensive but so good. There are now four Rimpings. The latest at Kad Farang, Hang Dong. Could do with being able to purchase booze at times the supermarket is open, rather than the current ridiculous restrictions. I fail to understand the logic behind forcing people to buy case loads at other times. How does it make us drink less??? Would be good to arrange a clearing house for Amazon.com purchases to reduce the cost of shipping. Currently the shipping is often more than the book etc. (I might be willing to set this up if others are interested.) Pontefract cakes. if we are on the subject of liquorice. Double cream or, even better, decent clotted cream. Good Wiltshire ham on the bone. Geo F Trumper grooming products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ditto on the vitamins childrens chewable vitamins do not exist here that I have ever found other then vitamin C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshall stanley Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 You poor buggers up there in Issan...Here on Samui you can find almost anything if you look and can fork over the price. Even Euro chocolate is stocked in Tops here and loads of legit coffee beans including Sumatra. I couldn't find Lao Beer in BKK but its all over the Island here. Samui is strange indeed but in a good way. Real French bread; You know, that thick crusty kind you find in France and San Francisco. A German baker here is trying and almost got it. But I sure would like to sink my teeth into a thick top sirloin hamburger sometime, but that, I'm afraid, is not going to happen even on Samui.
