^ Buy a toaster, you cheap charlie !!

Given enough time, and a little effort, you can find most things that you can get at home. Fish and Chips at The Ship in Sukhumvit 23 are pretty good. Aussie pies [with plenty of sauce of course] in Sukhumvit 55 soi 7 and Sukhumvit 7/1 at The Down Under Bar [of course].
The problem with things like shaving cream and vegemite is that it is expensive and the cans/jars are small. I get friends on holidays to ferry in stuff from Oz. Simple. Always someone coming out here for a holiday.

I'm now craving Thai mangoes. The crap here has no taste at all. Also had some laichees the other day, also tasteless. The blueberries and rasberries are good tho.

Desire only brings suffering
I don't miss anything

That has summed it up in one line!Originally Posted by EmperorTud
Luckily I'll be home next month for a wedding so that list will be the first meal.
Also, a fish supper from Anstruther, best chippy in the world! Queues out the door EVERY night. (well, it's been a few years, hopefully the same)

Indeed. What happened to it? That place was the excuse to nip down Cowboy way and have a feed and a perv. About 5/6 years ago the staff inside became the most unpleasant of bitches and the quality of food plummeted. What's the present consensus, as I will be in Bangkok one night next week and I'd love a fish & chip supper with mushy peas?

ET & the other couple who mentioned it:
I can get Lorne sausage here. A company called Hua Hin Ham Bacon & Meat Co makes it. Approx 30 bt per square. Very good & authentic. Wonderul in a bap or softy.
They also made Scotch pies, but stopped for some reason.
BTW, I'll add missing butter rolls (Aberdeen butteries)
