What Products From Back Home Are You Missing Here In Thailand?

[Loz]

Having popped home last week I can report that I still love and miss wild boar and granny smiths sausage sandwiches. I also miss Bounty Bars and licorice allsorts.

sadly I went home on a diet and exercise plan so didn't get to indulge. I have some bounty bars for after new year or when I am a 34" waist again.

Also miss british indian food. Had a Lamb Dansak with pilau rice and a peshwari naan. Made by God, cooked by jesus and served by the vir gin Mary!

would almost sell my left hand for some creme de marrons

Edible bread would be nice to find too.

L'ardeche? Great white water rafting there, no?

[Dave9000]

A good broom,

dynabolts bigger than 30mm x 6mm,

Sliding gate bolt with provision for a padlock,

Gang nail plates for fixing timber constructions,

And.....TBecause I want to mimic the Thai style, I have been trying to find one of those builder's squares that, unlike the ones in Oz, measure a right angle as 95 degrees....and also one of those nifty spirit levels theThais use which apparently measure the horizon as somewhat less or more than horizontal....because why should a door f-*%$#&-g close properly, or fit in the blasted frame, as long as it looks sorta okay from a distance?

There are two things I bring from Switzerland to Thailand:

- A large Rexona cobalt deodorant stick (solid, not a roller):

- Triofan nose spray (works wonders on swollen inner noses, I am a chronical user):

Other than that, I don't see...

[BEENTHEREDONETHAT]

Beef and particularly STEAK The hamburger/mince here is disgustingly fat. After looking at it I understand why Thais don't eat beef.

[wandrinstar]

Deacent priced Cars.

I live in Australia but the first thing I have when I get back from Thailand is the good old Mrs Macs meat pie

[johnbits]

Hahaha me too. Straight to Coles for a mrs macs pie and farmers union.

I miss codral cold and flu tablets, they get rid of sneezing in minutes with no drowsiness. Nothing that I've found in Thailand does that without the sleepy feeling.

[evanson]

Don't mean to gloat but, LOADS of that here on Phuket.

[wandrinstar]

Well made shorts, not the Kaiser Bill half mast / Huckleberry Finn / Negro slave looking things ferangs ware here.

[Scott]

One post and reply have been deleted.

The topic is pretty straight forward. No need to be critical of what people want from back home.

[snoother]

L'ardeche? Great white water rafting there, no?

Superb scenery there, I tried the water rafting ride which was not very thrilling but quite pleasant, due to the low level of water during summer. In spring it should be much more exciting.

Seen in TOPS supermaket

Awesome, thanks for the tip!

[london]

Sparkling Shiraz !

[wannascuba]

Smokeless Tobacco, "snuff". Brands; Skoal, Copenhagen, Grizzly, etc.

[melvinmelvin]

Pans in cast iron (without any coating, just plain cast iron).

Sick of making food in thin metal kitchenware.

[Polsci]

Reese's Peanut Butter Cups

[tutsiwarrior]

^^^me sum too for the last three items...Copenhagen snuff and Reese's peanut butter cups are horribly addictive, however...someone said that american cast iron cookware is available in a hardware store somewhere in BKK...

bottom lip fulla snoose, munching on a peanut butter cup while cooking ham 'n eggs in a nicely seasoned 12" cast iron skillet...yassuh...a small glow appears around the head as if blessedness is revealed...

Old Navy, Pepe Jeans London and Khakis Sport and Caspi. All purchased in Thailand.

Reese's Peanut Butter Cups

They are pretty common is supermarkets that sell Western food here, but I remember when they were not. Someone started selling a simular product and the first day that they would put them out on the shelves they would all be gone and you would have to wait another month or so until they got them again.

[SAW]

Greggs hot sausage rolls *sigh* I would pay 500 baht for a bag of them now.

Good God Man im British.A white pair of Fred Perry Squash shorts is my style. Might ware the ones illustrated for a Tramps Ball or win a bet. .Bowling did some nice regulation ones, but now you need a Baseball Cap fitted backwards and Earphones and gormless look on yer face to do them justice. Wingin Pom Me.

Biltong, Droewors and Mrs Balls chuntney....
