Anonymous participant 728 fair point! I always hit the thrift shops in America for amazing jersey or high thread count topsheets to bring back for myself and friends.

@Krystal ********

we have access to Lazada down on the islands too, everything's pretty easy to get just like bkk, besides maybe some of the frozen foods from the import shops 😏

@Oleksandra *********

can I recommend you a brand? I had the same thought on coffee but then discovered this brand- they're in the north I think, but it's the staple in our house now. Good value for the amount you get too 👍🏼 both their light and med roasts are great

@Lewis ************

they sell it in all the Big C Minis on my island :/

@Holly *********

lol, what tampons are you talking about? You can get OB Organics on Shoppee

@Octo ******

you sound like someone who hasn't hit middle age.

It's like the people without kids that try to say sugar doesn't affect children 😏

@Sam ****

dude what cave do you live in? Go to 7.

@Kool ******

flip it around. The English version is usually on the other side 😅

Anonymous participant 972 It's called G10 Guest House in Bandung. Honestly the owners are so awesome, it's what made the difference for us- they hooked us up with so much insider info and good deals, that it turned this trip from being a forced bummer to being a really fun holiday. We were going to just spend a night or 2 here and then carry on, but we ended up staying the whole time and doing the best daytrips from here. Off-roading, ATV, luge, waterfalls, Gunung Padang, hot springs, tea plantation, taking us out into the city to find all then hidden gems and best restaurants... it's been amazing.

Anonymous participant 266 True in most cases, and fine for the majority of people submitting. As I've mentioned, I've been dealing with visas in Thailand for many years and also never have felt the need to use an agent- rolled my eyes at the money people have wasted. But my situation is a little different at this point, which is why I went this route 👍👍 Could I have done it myself? Yeah, and probably could have pulled it off- but the risk would have been a lil higher, and I have way too much at stake.
