As my first month living in Thailand grows to a close, I’m beginning to realise all the little things that I am becoming to miss from the UK.
Cheese, although readily available in supermarkets here are priced somewhat shockingly. Firstly there is a distinct lack of cheddar, perhaps only a couple of brands. Most cheese appears to be the tasteless French, American and Dutch kind. You can also not get cheddar in anything less that the small 150g packets – that being said at around £15 for 150g I would dread to see the price for something bigger.
Finally, and more worryingly – there is no chocolate in Thailand!!! Ok so there is the usual American junk if you search around a bit. But nothing that remotely resembles a UK chocolate bar.
Double Decker, Snickers, Mars, Boost… nothing!
I guess this ultimately would be a good thing for me – but some times you just need some sugar! and I don’t want to develop a Thai red bull addiction!
