When I lived in Thailand I could get most of the products I missed but there were some that I couldn't seem to find. This is a list of all the things I missed irrespective of whether I could find them or not: Tabasco sauce Lea and Perrins sauce Coleman's mustard Fresh bread and croissants Good quality English ham Parma ham Prosciutto ham Good quality English bacon and sausages Heinz beans Thorntons chocolates Nesquick Cadbury's hot chocolate Certain chocolate bars and products Bahlsen biscuits Earl Grey and Assam tea bags Certain white wines Laurent-Perrier rose champagne Anything not on the list I either didn't miss or found a good substitute for.

Good film starring Helen Hunt

Good photos and I really enjoyed your old trip report. I haven't been to Patpong in the evening for ten years but have lots of great memories of it from the past. I've already planned to stay in Silom for the last four nights of my upcoming trip and spend the evenings on the hunt in Patpong so it's good to see this thread updated. Patpong has a bad reputation because it's a bit of a shit hole but at night it is totally transformed and can be a lot of fun. Although I still absolutely love Nana Plaza and its surrounding area and always will, I've done it so many times and I want to try something different. I can't wait to hit Kings Castle again after all these years. These sort of posts make me realise how much I love Bangkok which is better than Pattaya for everything except mongering and beaches. Even with the mongering it's a close run thing for me, Soi 6 is the only thing that keeps me excited about Pattaya.

When I posted my rant I did thing that it may be disrespectful to the ethos of the thread but I couldn't help myself as it is something I feel so passionate about and it is relevant for those that died. I did want to make further replies to capdagde and atlas2 but I'll respect the thread and save it for now. I think I'll start another thread about this elsewhere in a more appropriate section.

Designer clothes in Thailand aren't cheaper and in actual fact they're often more expensive than what you'd pay in London which is why I never buy any when I'm in Thailand. Just go somewhere like The Emprorium shopping centre on Sukhumvit and you'll see what I mean.

Thanks for the +1 Andy but the absurdity and facetiousness of your post compelled me to reply. Firstly, not everyone who survived the wars would have voted Labour and secondly, even if that did bring about the welfare system and the NHS, where is the correlation with that and the current state of the UK today in 2018 and not in the twenties and forties? You don't live in the UK Andy so you don't see the catastrophic effects of mass immigration on a daily basis like I do and unless you're reading and watching alternative media, you won't be getting an accurate and truthful reflection of it. Those that died in these wars would have been fighting to protect our values and way of life yet the state of play in the UK these days in that regard is absolutely disgraceful. Ironic that you mention the NHS when its efficiency has diminished so significantly due to being overwhelmed by mass immigration and the failures of multiculturalism, it may as well be abolished. My wife and I gave up on it because it's shite and decided to go private. I'd rather pay and speak to somebody who actually cares about my health, not somebody that wants me out the door as quickly as possible because they're overwhelmed with the number of immigrants they have to see. No, I'm not racist. It's the fucking truth! Elsewhere, well, where do I fucking start? We now have a system in the UK where political correctness has become so ridiculous you can't tell the truth for fear of being branded racist, far right or guilty of hate speech. Crime is continuing to sore in the UK and we all know the reason why but you're not allowed to say why, free speech is being eroded, defacto Islamic blasphemy laws are now in place and muslim extremists that are violently opposed to our entire way of life and values are allowed to preach their hatred of the very culture that allowed them to come and live here in the first place. They burn British flags, insult and abuse current servicemen, and even kill them in the street. Is this actually fucking happening to our country? Meanwhile we're told that the authorities are powerless to stop them from doing this as it might infringe their human rights and that we can't deport those that are guilty of terrorist activity and have links to the likes of ISIS. You couldn't fucking make it up. The crazy thing is that some of these people are on benefits and financed by the state, a benefits system you're apparently so proud of, a system that as far as I'm concerned appears to be abused by more than those that genuinely need it. Hundreds of thousands of immigrants are allowed into this country every year and the vast majority of them bring nothing with them of any value and have no intention of embracing our way of life or integrating into it. Everyone can see this because society is becoming increasingly polarised, just go somewhere like Blackburn, Bradford, Oldham, Birmingham and many boroughs in London where you'll see this. It's more like being in a middle eastern country than England. Is this what those who died in conflicts for this country were giving their lives for? Things are so bad that muslim births are set to outnumber the indigenous. And then there's the farcical, tyrannical white elephant that is the EU, which is now holding us to ransom for the crime of wanting to leave because most people in the UK don't want to have an unelected plutocracy making our laws for us and want to protect that thing called democracy - you know, that thing that those who died fighting in wars for this country were trying to protect? How ironic that the major player in the EU is Germany, a country that had we not of defeated in the second world war, would have taken our country over. So Andy, ask yourself the question - can you honestly hand on heart say that anyone who died in the first and second world war for Britain would be happy with the state of it now? Or had they have known that this is what would happen all those years later they'd have given their life for it?

Will definitely pop in next time as I'm a fan of the one in Bangkok.
