Re: Has Your Food Shopping Increased?
:offtopic: this thread is about FOOD SHOPPING - not restaurants which we know are cheaper in Thailand because they don't have the high rents/overheads/taxes/regulations/hygiene standards/staff wages/etc. We all have different experiences, but I know for a fact we get much more groceries for the same...

The Carabao IPA is now available in CJ shops under the 'Tawandaeng' label. Its rather good and competitively priced at 60 baht a tin.

Re: Has Your Food Shopping Increased?
You can't compare restaurants to grocery shopping, its apples and oranges. This thread is about food shopping.
Our Makro shop is always over 5,000 baht and we get very little here for that. In Aldi or Lidl in the UK, you'd get two trolley's worth of food for a hundred plus quid.

For sure, you want to eat chickens feet and somtam or anything that isn't considered a "luxury item", its going to be cheaper in Thailand.

Re: Has Your Food Shopping Increased?
Groceries in the UK have always been cheaper than in Thailand where, apparently, "there is no inflation," yet food, utility bills, fuel, etc, keeps getting hiked. (And yes, I know some smartarse will probably tell me pork is 11 baht cheaper than it was in 2022.)

Re: Thai Football 2023/24
Thailand were woeful, they couldn't keep the ball for more than three touches in the first half, and when anyone got it in the second, they wouldn't pass and wanted to run through the entire Korean defense like Messi. Its no wonder they've never been in a World Cup!

Re: Customs cost of international parcel
That could be why I've never used it. The shipping charges and duties outweigh most savings on the item (unless its something you can't buy in Thailand.)

Re: Renewing a UK passport in Thailand
No photos in house, she told us to get them done at the camera shop on the third floor of MV. These were accepted. We also needed more paperwork than before, so I guess they're cracking down on overseas renewals (or she wants to cover all bases). Glad my sons will have to do it on their own from now...
