If you want a top sheet on your bed you might just bring one. Sheet sets here include a fitted sheet, 2 pillow cases and 2 bolster cases. It's usually too warm for a blanket so I was hoping to find one and have been unsuccessful at all the places I see bedding being sold. I'm sure I could get online, but some things I want to feel before I buy

I moved here 2 months ago. I wish I had brought my razor and some ranch dressing packets. You can purchase online but the price is outrageous. We brought some clothes, but I should have bought more shorts, because I have a butt. If you're shaped like an Asian you can buy here very cheap. Shirts and dresses buy here, though you may see dresses at the market that will bleed dye badly. What you're probably going to miss the most is people and good plumbing, 2 things you can't bring with you.

@Alan *******

where can you get shoes cheaper? The ones I find are not much, if any cheaper than US, and can rarely find my size.

Shoes, especially if you don't have small feet. Underwear for men if you're coming with any). If you're bringing a dog, I can give you a separate list.

@Lynnette ******

lots of condos don't have a kitchen unless you consider a mini fridge and small counter a kitchen (and some don't even have that). A close Thai friend of mine told me before I moved here that many Thai people rarely eat homemade food, at least urban Thais. Even if all that you're saying were true, there is no need to be rude to someone just looking for information.

I moved here from Illinois recently, but have a good Thai friend in the states that I've known 12or more years. She told me often that her family rarely cooks at home. Eating out is usually cheaper. I visited here twice before moving and found that to be true, if you eat Thai food. Western food is going to cost more whether it is homemade or restaurant. I find that I'm not getting nearly as much vegetables in my diet as I did in the states , eating mostly Thai foods. The kitchen we have in our rental has one of those 2 burner cook tops, but it seems to be either too hot or not hot enough, there's no in between. We luckily got a double sink, but they aren't common. Geckos get in the kitchen and poop everywhere, it's gross. Washers, if they have one, are usually outside. Dryers are also not common. Laundromats are usually easy to find, especially around apartments. I don't know if I can get used to outdoor kitchen. We'll get a grill and use like we would in Illinois, but not for everyday.
