Re: Items to bring when moving to Thailand
I'm surprised that you can't find cheap wooden utensils! Try any of the kitchen shops - there's a small one inside ChatChai Market that looks very tatty but is an Aladdins cave. I find that the wooden spatulas etc I buy in Thailand are far better quality - and cheaper - than those in the UK.Thriftydrifter wrote:If anybody still needs a metal potato masher we got one in Makro last week. But we've failed to find cheap wooden spoons and spatulas! And sheets seem to be outrageously expensive compared to the UK.

Re: To bring, or not to bring, that tis the question
[quote="Big Boy"]My wife brought far too many clothes (especially the colder weather variety) and shoes. Apart from that, I think we got it about right.
Yes one jacket for chillier nights should be enough IMO. Also only washable clothing! I agree with others on the good quality kitchen knives and peelers and forks. Plus maybe a good quality can opener. But there is much more available now than 15 years ago - when I failed to take a magnifying mirror and had to pay through the nose for one from Boots.....

This phrase caught my eye, and I wondered if there was such a word as 'divorcement'.oakdale160 wrote:À decree of divorcement.
There most certainly is:
Deuteronomy 24:1
When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house.
This is the way

One tool I have not see locally is the oscillating multi tool, good for grout removal, sawing into tight spaces etc etc. Voltage should be considered though if coming from non 220/240V countries.
Recent items I have bought abroad though and brought back are a wireless TV extender, tile saw (for fine work) and a pair of tile nippers. Have a look at the ask the expats section and there may well be other items people have difficulty finding and can only be sourced abroad.
