As a newcomer to both this board and to Christmas in Thailand I wonder if one of you can advise if I am able to buy Christmas Pudding and/or Christmas crackers in Thailand. My preference would be Marks and Spencers but Tesco would also be fine.
I am currently in Bangkok but will move up to the Udon Thani / Nong Khai area in December.
Thanks in advance for any helpful advice.
I don't know about Christmas crackers, but Christmas puddings are usually available at Tops supermarkets. And I would guess that upmarket foodhalls at Emporium and Siam Paragon might have them too.
Hi, Jools on Sukhumvit soi 4, Bangkok sell xmas puddings.
You can get them delivered in Bangkok via Chefsxp.com.
[ 173 ] Christmas Pudding with Custard 128.40 THB
[ 174 ] Christmas Pudding with Whipped Cream 144.45 THB
I'm not sure if they stock puddings and crackers, but there are branches of M&S in the Siam Center, Siam Square, and in the Central Plaza, Bangna. There are other branches in BKK, check Google to find them.
chern chim foods stocks xmas puddings when you arrive in Udon
Had a catalog for Gourmet Gallery come through the post yesterday. Don't know why.
They seem to have everything you need food wise for Christmas that can be delivered with 3 days pre-order.

No crackers though. I think I get them from Villa normally.
M&S Central Chitlom is where I got mine last year.
All our 'regular' customers coming out for Xmas know to bring a pudding or 2 for us.
(always try to serve Xmas pud with ice-cream + Captain Morgans on the aft of 25th in the bar) Put your requests in to your mates NOW.. :-)
Thanks everyone for your help.
As I am stopping over in Dubai when travelling back to Thailand I don't think that I will attempt to take either foodstuff or crackers in my lugage.
M&S Central Chitlom sounds the best idea to date.
Big Dave formerly had them imported direct from the UK purely and simply because the local made puddings were shite.Quote:
