Most people are not fans of the UHT milk flavour wise, but I'm ok with drinking it. Every time I see it stocked at the supermarket I bulk buy it. That stuff can be stored in the cupboard for ages. If I have it on cereal I do heat it up though, seems to mix in better than cold. Must be some sort of scientific magic behind that.

Dutch Mill is my favourite. 7Eleven has it.

I've bought 0% milk from our local 7/11 in the 2 litre size.

Not quite, in fact it tastes more like semi skimmed milk sold in the UK than skimmed milk which is much closer to water. I know our taste buds are not all the same, but I find the 0% milk the best for tea and use either the 2% or 4% for cereals and coffee.

The full-fat milk has dark blue tops and the low-fat or skimmed milk has light blue tops - 7/11 normally has both in my experience.

Always buy low fat milk (one kind labeled 0%) at Tescos, Big C, Family Mart or 7/11, have been doing for 11 years. Meiji brand do a non fat brand which is usually what I buy.

Unfortunately my Thai isn't quite good enough to understand the different varieties of milk...

To the best of my knowledge all the main suppliers use the same colour cap codes - dark blue = full fat 4%, light blue = half fat 2%, and white cap = low fat 0%. There is also a red/orange cap which I'm not sure, but could be homogenised and probably 4%, but the main three are as above. :cheers:

No problem....They are also labelled in Engerish.
