The problem with tailor made suits and shirts is to find a good shop offering good quality for a good price. Lots of rubbish for 100 usd you get 3 suits and this and that... For T-shirts find MBK to be best place. Any thoughts for better? BTW, offtrack markets can be cheap places to find nice stuff. Most of this would not make it through Canada customs either. I can't blame you for wanting to bring home the pinaple though, I'd never try eating the ones we get here anymore. A lot of people seem to have good luck in bringing back Cury pastes (usually dry powdered stuff not the good wet stuff). But the Tom Yam paste and the Sri Racha hot sauce are available in most Asian grocer's here. Personally I would love to bring back a large sandstone Budha.

bibblies Posted September 18, 2001 Report Share Posted September 18, 2001 Batteries are much cheaper here than in Britain. The same goes for simple pharmaceuticals such as paracetomol, which our nanny-state doesn't let us buy in packs of more than 10 in case we hurt ourselves..

Guest Posted September 18, 2001 Report Share Posted September 18, 2001 Pineapple: I am sure I see it in the airport ( shops in boarding areas, all sanitized/package for taking home, no customs hassell. ( never bought any though, so maybe it is just bs they tell you to sell stuf) as to what I buy in los, I get lots of what I like, but I only have the smile ( or grin from what my thoughts are at the time) from it to take back.

pattaya127 Posted September 18, 2001 Report Share Posted September 18, 2001 BTW, I brought back 2 thai/issan pillows and mat, you know those in triangle shape, and the custom checked if it was really straw inside of them (agricultural product) and yes it was. Why do i have a feeling they are now in some custom officer's living room? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 18, 2001 Report Share Posted September 18, 2001 Why do i have a feeling they are now in some custom officer's living room? Â Probably, they tried smoking the "straw" in the lounge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 18, 2001 Report Share Posted September 18, 2001 O.K , I am going to give it a go! I will start small with just the 2 small pinapples , as suggested , smuggled deftly up my asshole. I will report back on success or failure, with the state of airport security at the moment it could be a bit prickly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
