When I first came here I thought the same as the OP but after a while I changed my saying to - everything is available in Thailand but I sometimes don't know where to buy it and sometimes can't afford it, but it is here.

Wetting solution for hard contact lenses. Haven't looked lately, in fairness, I always bring ample supplies with me.

 

By "wetting solution," do you mean rewetting drops? Or do you mean the disinfection solution?

 

There are two places I know of that carry Boston Advance solutions. One's directly across from Suandok Hospital (Eye Smart? Smart Eyes?) and the other is an ophthalmology clinic on Chang Phuak Road, run by Dr. Napaporn Tananuwat. Up until this year, both places were reliable sources for said solutions.

 

But this year, there's been some kind of problem with the importing of Boston products, and I've had to resort to other means of getting the solutions I need.

A decent chunk of hash ?

Hey!  The beer here is definitely half-decent.

I have never had a problem finding anything I need  (sometimes takes a bit of looking), but I can't always find what I want.

Hermesetas sweeteners for my coffee.

Think the Thais have taken on board the old wives tale that they can give you cancer.

I have to ask visitors to bring me a supply.

Several varieties used to be available from behind the counter at a certain burger restaurant in town, before the BIB caught up with the owner.

 

That was a few years ago now. Anyone know if Bob is still in jail here?

In the UK places like Tesco, Boots and even Will sell a low cost wetting and soaking solution which is a lot cheaper than Boston I have had a good look around and not seen a similar product. I think the best bet is bringing a few bottles from UK and getting friends to bring when they visit. This is specifically for hard lenses.

Honesty

Aw Dark Lord, I agree with almost all your posts, but I have to say, I have come up with honesty here in Thailand all the time, OK most times their mentality sucks, but there is lots of honesty.

A shop assistant that says  - 

ใช่เรามีพวกเขา

"Yes, we have them  !"

 

instead of  

ไม่มี

No have ...

Things that are available here that should NOT be: KFC/Starbucks/McDonalds

But there the only 5 star restaurants in Thailand. Along with MK. (Just joking) But good restaurants are the thing I miss the most here.

Japanese imports (some of the best/safest on the market) are readily available in Bangkok.

By the way, what I meant by "here" was at a shop of some kind, not necessarily an online store. Of course, I can get almost anything online if I want to pay to have it sent here and pay any customs duties and taxes. 

Customs duties from Bangkok?

Gunk Off.  Foam paint brushes.  Reduced-fat Cheez-It.  Dark potato chips.  VW Polo.  Toyota Rav.  Lebanon bologna.

9 times out of ten nowadays even imported goods are not taxed, especially if they are low value, not like the old days, guess with the increase in volume they don't have the time - or inclination

Click all the way through at Amazon and see what it's going to cost with shipping, duties and taxes.

 

I tried to buy a $9 microwave popcorn bowl from Amazon, and all in it was going to be $58.00.  I ended up ordering one from Lazada for $9 -delivered- and hedged that with one from AliExpress for about the same price- all in.
