Anyone know where you can buy 'Kettle' brand crisps in Hua Hin

No problem in BKK, Carrefor et al have them, but never seen any here.

Interesting thread. Yesterday my wife bought herself one of those chicken and mushrom pie's with a creamy sauce, which I hate, but she never got round to eating it, as she'd seen a recipe for hot cross buns that she wanted to try. Basically, split the bun, shovel in loads of jam, cover it in custard and bake. She liked it so much, she ended up having three, she added strawberries for the subsequent two.

Thankfully, she still cooks Thai as well!

And PG Tips would be my thing - decaf for nights, it's less harsh and means I sleep. I drink it neat, by the bucketfull!

the supermarket on the opposite side of the road from the Police station and down a bit sells papers. They are in the glass case next to the door - you need to get a staff member to get them for you

Red and Green Rizla in normal and king size, and some local brands

Actually they are herbs Francois! But no - probably not widely available in HH apart from dried. I don't know why people rave so much about PG Tips - it is possible to get used to Liptons - honest! And Sandman - Lemsip must be the best con Reckitts have ever got away with. How long now? 40 years ish since they launched lemon flavoured powder laced with Disprin.
Anyway, back to the point - cheese, mushy peas, cheese, marmite, cheese, stuffing mix, cheese, jelly babies, cheese, liquorice allsorts. Oh yes, and a bit of cheese. :D
