Snake V Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Not much. Actually if I were in the US I'd miss more products from Thailand than I currently miss from the US. Pecans Mr Pibb (soft drink) Stick deodorants - Old Spice, Mennen, something other than Gillette Vitamins - a larger variety to choose from 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!

bdenner Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 The obvious which is not available here in Isaan:- Vegemite, Bonox, Gravox, etc. If your in Bkk - try Villa supermarkets -- they have all of this ---- and licorice ----- )))) Just might be worth a trip to Krung Thep and stock up --- set up a small market stall up there and take some lamb with you --- just about anything Aussi --- Heinz and SPC spaghetti - bake beans - you name it they seem to have it -- except good sardines --- there is a shop in Sukhamvit 71 - Food Glorious Food -- all imports from the land down under -- and great pies and pasties sausage rolls --- wines and fresh veg and fruit - their sausages are the best in bkk -----well thailand --- not the cheapest but really good produce Thank you for this info BUT shopping on line is the object here. I have no intention of travelling 650km just to buy a jar of vegemite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaiboxer Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 They don't have Cheeze-It crackers here. I used to love those things in the USA. They're made by Sunshine I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maestro Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 I can’t be sure and probably there’s no way to verify it, but I have a feeling this topic beats the record for the fastest first 100 replies. So much for “you can everything easily in Thailand”. --------------- Maestro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drummer Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Real root beer, if nobody has mentioned it, and Fabreeze. For those not familiar, Fabreeze is a corn derivative product that gets rid of many houshold odors from baby puke to cat piss to cigarette smoke by bonding with it. Works great and quickly. Surprised its not in Thailand yet. I've seen it in Malaysia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drummer Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 OH - and GSE - Grapefruit Seed Extract. It is amazing against diahhrea and food poisoning. Instant cessation of symptoms. FAR better than antibiotics. Extremely bitter, though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khunit Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Pickled Onions and / or Pickling Spice ROOT BEER ? There are several A&W shops in Thailand including at Pantip in BKK. Also A&W Root Beer is sold in the big grocery stores. Or do you consider A&W as not real Root Beer? Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DFCarlson Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 (edited) Splenda (a sugar substitute) similar to EQUAL. I used it all the time in the US but I haven't seen it anywhere here. It's the only sugar substitute that I've found that doesn't leave any aftertaste. Skippy or JIF creamy style peanut butter and Smucker's strawberry jam... in much larger size packaging. These last two are available here in the local supermarket, but only in the smallest jars! Edited December 7, 2006 by DFCarlson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ijwelch Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Heinz baked beans, gravy granules, tea bags, a full range of herbs and spices, malt vinegar. Child car seats, baby teething soothing gel (quickly please!), toys that might last > 1 day. More farang-sized shirts, shorts. I dare say that most of this stuff is available elsewhere, but I can't find any of it here in Isaan country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
