Hi Margaret Yes, the cheese thing certainly rang a few bells. I do remember just the smell of some of the "blues' making Thais feel nauseous. There was no way of getting them to actually sample any. I'm not sure what ingredients you want me to check for in the chewing gum but it must include so...

tools

About 1/2 way along the Canal Rd (after the lights, on the right, heading back towards Cha Am) is a large Thai store that sells a surprising amount of tools.
It doesn't look much from the front but is large inside.
Look out for the stone tables, BBq's and water tanks stored outside.

Terry, That's a interesting idea and makes sense with the lack of ambulances an all.

But it does beg the question;

I'd be willing to use my car take this unfortunate victim to hospital.

But I wouldn't be willing to stop, let alone help, if I knocked her over in the first place.

Thanks for the quick response Chas.

Yeah, I had resigned myself to a trip to Robinsons or a mall in Bkk.

I'm surprised Boots doesn't carry perfume, as it is one of thier major lines in England isn't it?

Suppose I could always nick some from the airport :twisted:
