The Emporioum has a supermarket that caters for ex-pats a British section a Japanese

an American and an Aussie you just have to stock up.

I get 6 x300gram bags of wasabi powder to take back to amsterdam on my annual

trip to Thailand

Double Decker: I am 99% sure they have been discontinued in the U.K.

incorrect - I had one recently.

Intelligent conversation

Round eyes Hookers

i get withdrawals of the bru when im in thailand:

Italian expresso coffee...

Missed that too, but found excellent and real Italian coffee (Espresso) at "Giusto"

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!

Thanks!

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.

They don't have Cheeze-It crackers here. I used to love those things in the USA. They're made by Sunshine I believe.

Jello or Sherrif lemon pie filling

Lime jello (they have lemon but not lime)

Oil of Olay daily face wash cloths

The availability of a varity of bread mixes especially whole meal would encourage me to buy a "Hot Bread Machine".

Your all making me starving I dont really miss much;

But Treacle pudding

Recently I had Indian food in Bkk it was a wonderful treat after nearly three years without

treacle pudding

Indian food

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”.

I haven`t met many Canadians ,including myself that don`t stock up on Clamato Juice if they are staying for any length of time...so I`ll second the Mott`s Clamato Juice

Jelly Babies

Earl Grey

Irn Bru

Ginger Beer

Pickled Onions and / or Pickling Spice

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.

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!

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

absolutely bugger all.

Well said Terry, I couldn't have put it better myself.

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!

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.

Wireless home security systems at reasonable prices not at three times the price you buy it in any other country.

You are in luck, they sell them in a coffee shop near the Burger King in the New Airport
