brahmburgers Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 you can go to my online page which addresses this precise subject: http://wonderfull.com/thaifind.htm ....with a view to inspire budding entrepreneurs. It's several years old and some of the items have since shown up in the marketplace since it was first showcased - so it may have served as an inspiration for some. Some big ticket items you'll never see in Thailand (or extremely rarely): mobile homes travel trailers baby seats in cars / children's safety helmets Gorilla glue or Gorilla duct tape (relatively new brand names, but very good quality) real roto-tillers / front or rear tine (not the giant 'iron buffalo' used for rice paddies) framing hammers or nail pullers (I recently saw an imported beauty made from titanium!) gypsies (yea, let's get some more free-thinking, free-wheeling gypsies with their tantalizing and tasteful music!) ....same goes for Brazilian, Hawaiian, Cuban music .....anything but Thai pop music - Even Burmese pop is lots more listenable than Thai - but I'm off-topic, sorry.

November Rain Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 (edited) Cadbury's Choclolate...not the Cadbury's that is available here.Who mentioned E45 Cream? Boots sell it. Yorkshire Tea bags, Marmite, Branston pickle, Bisto gravy granules, Walker's cheese and onion crisps, Heinz mayo..that's it for now Everything but the crisps I can get from an expat butcher/grocer in HH. Even the Yorkshire tea bags. I have a cup every morning! I meant in the last line, no chocolate & certainly no E45 cream!

tutsiwarrior Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 (edited) German gummi bears, like HariboFritos corn chips Dill pickles, NOT Vlasic, but Milwaukee brand midget pickles. Claussen are the best, but require constant refrigeration so that's a no-go. Canned tart cherries to make pie. Not pie filling, but just the cherries. Canned pumpkin, Libbey's brand, for pie and cookies and muffins. seconded (I like Vlasic kosher dills)... would also like a full range of whole indian spices (cumin, coriander, cardamon, fennel, etc plus garam masala and tumeric) and canned pulses (kidneys, pintos, garbanzos, etc, if available I'd buy 'em by the crate)... the local dried ones remain inedible after 2+ hours of cooking and soaking overnight... canned hoummos and baba ganoush...I brought a industrial sized jar of sesame tahina from Bahrain for which to make both and I can't find any garbanzos or eggplant...wahhhh... Rolled Gold pretzels...which if you are an american, with Fritos corn chips, if that ain't on yer wish list you should be investigated by Homeland Security... you guys that are missin' salsa and guacamole ever try makin' it yerself? All ingredients available locally (decent avocadoes sometimes are hard to find) and with some experimentation you will find that the home made variety is suitable and quite easy to make...google for basic recipies... Ry Krisp (or Rye Vita for our friends 'across the pond'...sesame variety) Edited December 6, 2006 by tutsiwarrior Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opalhort Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Many of the items requested in this thread are already available here in Thailand (esp. in BKK) but usually at an exorbitant price!! If store.thaivisa.com is in a position to supply goods "needed by us farangs" at a reasonable price I am all for it. Especially if it includes home delivery! My wish list would be: Haribo products (licorice, winegumi, jellies etc.) Spätzle (pasta from southern Germany, the long flat or round type). I'll order 2.5-3Kg every 4-6 months if the price does not exceed 300Baht per kg. I'm also interested in canned meat and sausages (beef and liverwurst for example). One thing difficult to find here is the "instant (in powder form) prepared meals" (Knorr, Maggi etc.) of the European type foods. All you need to add is the meat and some other ingredients. Cheap and easy! If they can be sold for less than 100Baht a pouch, I will be a customer. I wish 'store.thaivisa' all the best but please do not concentrate only on imported products! We farangs face problems shopping online in Thailand because the few online stores available here only offer websites in Thai. Try to hook up with COL, Powerbuy, Officedepot etc. and provide info and purchase options in English. opalhort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

libya 115 Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 (edited) Branston Pickle, Monster Munch, Wheat Crunchies, Skips, Double Decker, Aero, Topic, 10p Chomps, Branston Pickle is available here but very expensive 290 baht for a small jar. Monster Munch: I love them too. Pringles just don't match-up. Double Decker: I am 99% sure they have been discontinued in the U.K. When I come back to L.O.S. from the U.K. I always bring 8 bisto gravy granules and chicken granules and tea bags. They are all not so dense. I would bring plastic squeezy HP sauce and Heinz salad cream but they are too dense. Available here for 109 baht per small bottle, over double U.K. price. Above all, I would like to see U.K. newspapers at a reasonable price. 200 baht for a daily newspaper is 3 quid, a very high mark-up, in this day and age and technology, it should be available for UK price X 2.

gavstah Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 For crisps, accept no substitutes: Also, more top-shelf booze (makers mark whiskey, good scotch, top end vodka, etc), not to mention some good beer from UK and micro-brews from the US like Smuttynose Big A IPA (Smuttynose.com). California wines would be good, as well. Home brewing equipment, perhaps?

tutsiwarrior Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Low-fat cottage cheese (perishable, but one can dream) I dream of quart tubs of Knudsen's FULL FAT cottage cheese, fresh corn tortillas (3 dozen pack, still warm) and La Victoria Salsa Ranchera for cottage cheese tacos...ingredients only available in southern California. If I knew someone that had the real goods in Thailand I'd be over there in a flash with the sawed off 12 gauge to say 'load up the hold all and no one gets hurt...'

Upcountry Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 (edited) As mentioned earlier, many items are available in Bkk, or Chiang Mai (Villa Market, etc.). If thaivisa could supply these items for less or for free shipping at least, it would be good. One item I wanted at Villa was available in "bulk", a box's worth, but only deliverable to a BKK hotel - so being able to get it 'upcountry' would be great. That is what excites me about this new potential service. At the very least, it would be nice if thaivisa could organize a country-wide shipment of items available in the big cities to those of us less fortunate. As the service matures maybe other more exotic items could be arranged - particularly if we members discuss our need for it and develop a demand.

frenchFARANGbkk Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 What products from back home are you missing here in Thailand?Imported products? Food (not fresh food, but canned, processed food etc)? Delicatessen? Other products? The ecommerce guys at Thaivisa need feedback from you as they are sourcing for new products for our on-line store. Our current store, which is very successful with only a limited amount of products, is located at http://store.thaivisa.com If you have ideas for products you would like to have, please let us know here!
