When Youre Missing Home in Thailand Come Here

[@nanabear85]

Please share a thought for all those people who lost family and friends and livlihoods in the south east asia tsunami on boxing day 20 years ago. My friends family never recovered.❤

[@paulthompson4088]

Knew people who were there. Tragic ♥️

[@thebinger123]

I remember it well my flight was delayed in uk so I arrived on the day it happened sad time in Thailand history 🙏🏻

[@TheSpence68]

Ive been going to Thailand for 20 years now. And Darren you are doing a brilliant job on these videos. You present them lovely, honestly

[@KarenAllison-b2i]

Obviously Butterscotch is the best Angel Delight flavour 😀

[@muckle8]

Food from the gods!

Sad day today remembering all of south east asia twenty years a ago

[@redmoon8217]

Yes, so sad.

[@holymoly6829]

20 years ago How time goes so quickly All the death and destruction at one time 😢

[@redmoon8217]

@holymoly6829 Yes absolutely tragic, I remember it so well. I had travelled all over south east Asia a couple of years before. I couldn't believe it as it unfold on the TV.

Brilliant vlog

[@KarenRoss-qp3sl]

My mum used to make my sisters and I, knickerbocker glories, with different Angel Delights and Rowntrees jellies. Memories, 'eh.. Loved the visit to The Pantry. A great little asset to you, DJ. 👍🤗

[@paulsavage7988]

What an outstanding ex-pat shop, and I've been to a few. An amazing selection with all the top brands, but they had me at Hobgoblin. Nice one for bringing it to our attention.

[@LindaRolph-e6g]

I hope you enjoyed your Christmas Darren and Happy New Year

[@nanabear85]

Don't forget a little bit of what you fancy does you good, embrace the culture but its nice to have a taste of the old country. Can't eat out forever so good to dind local food stores.

[@Pauly183]

I'm a Teacher in Vietnam and I will be popping over to Pattaya for a holiday at Lunar New Year. I haven't been to Pattaya for 10 years so I'm looking out for possible places to visit when I get there. Your videos are proving quite insightful, thank you.

[@kenlacey2451]

A teacher going to Pattaya 🤔

[@cenky3]

What a little gem of a shop and well stocked and presented .

[@Topboy12345]

Remembering a Thai friend on this day 😭. Thankfully 🙏 I was in Cambodia.

[@linz347]

What a lovely little shop, certainly packed with home comforts and glad you got your Weetabix.

[@kendowding6831]

I think it's a really good video, and definately a great place to go now and again as a treat !! Why not ? My mum used to make us angel delight, used to wait till she had dished it out from the mixing bowl, then scrape the sides with a spoon, the agreement was when I'd finished I had to wash the bowl, only a small price to pay !!!

[@dfargyle]

Hi Darren, i will be in Pattaya from the 6th to 13th Febuary if you would like anything bringing over from England that you miss

[@kenlacey2451]

Can you bring me some Cheese and Onion Walkers and Twiglets please ?

[@billchristie7646]

Hi Darren loving the channels recently discovered as you prepared to holiday here. Not so long ago the Lotus’s supermarkets were Tesco Lotus. The chain then dropped Tesco from the name and branding !!!

[@carl90210]

Yes Darren. You are a man who deserves a treat every now and then to remind you of the taste of home 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

[@mikeymike1854]

You serious? 😂

[@geofferyrobertson6608]

an increase of about 7,000 subs in one day , not a bad effort , go hard

[@mikecain565]

Made me smile & have a giggle that one Darren, One of those shops, when you just fancy something a bit different to what you are having all of the time, Keep the content coming matey,

[@jeanettedemosthenous2685]

That's an amazing shop. There's stuff in there that I can't get in Cyprus which as you know is an EU country. Loving all your vlogs. x

[@joanbrown9263]

Just found ur channel,well done making the big change. Best wishes Joan Edinburgh

[@DarrenJohn]

Thanks and welcome

[@oliverheaney3379]

Happy Christmas Darren.. Hope you’re enjoying your first Thai Christmas

[@jimbo8009]

Dunno where you choose these tunes from but banging. Purple Lilies?

[@fredarcher7264]

Wow , I cant believe how expensive the prices are

[@kenlacey2451]

I know the British owner. He has an expensive private school to pay for in Pattaya

[@pauladamson8684]

That was like a trip down memory lane - angel delight 😂 ❤

[@terencephillips6833]

Wow that shop was like an oasis in the desert, what a great find even just to walk around and think of home.

[@PattayaOwl]

Really enjoying your vlogs. Like your methodical approach to decisions.

[@jaynehopcraft2890]

Great find Darren !! Omg chocolate in the fridge !! Mine are always cold . They should do that in the UK . Omg yes Angel Delight Chocolate was the best !! Enjoy !!

[@mikekaraoke]

Do what i nthe UK an expat shop-they already do-confused!

[@jaynehopcraft2890]

Put chocolate in the fridge . Hate warm chocolate if you read it properly

[@mikekaraoke]

@@jaynehopcraft2890 I didn't know if you were talking about Angel Delight or not-as thta def has to go in the fridge lol

[@jaynehopcraft2890]

The harder the better matey

[@andrewbeddis7299]

Great video and merry Christmas 🤶

[@topcat9350]

Big C worth a visit

[@67bracer]

I found the Big C on Klang to have a better selection aimed at Expats. But yes Big C is pretty good.

[@topcat9350]

Also Central Festival descent selection but quite pricey think Big C better option for the pocket

[@robertcatterall6514]

Darren you need to find a pie n mash Restaurant 👍 Lovin your vlogs Buddy 👍

[@martin38529]

Love the video Darren. We just had butterscotch angel delight after xmas and boxing day dinner 😁. Hope you have a great new year and 2025. Love following your story on the channel.

[@DarrenJohn]

Happy holidays!

[@leesharpe5610]

What a great shop , but so expensive , nice to get a few things now and again though , keep well mate , i would miss my weetabix also lol

[@realfacthunt]

You can buy the aussie weetabix called weetbix in big c extra for 99 baht, makro sell them as well, way cheaper than UK version. Siamburys is a way larger shop than Pantry, it's on the darkside. A.lot of these foods are available in big c extra to be fair, like UK teabags and biscuits etc

[@MichaelLewis-y8c]

Dear Darren old school 🏫 all day everyday keep smilling. Kid

[@jh6273]

Lyons Irish tea great

[@KathrynColes-l4z]

Used to love butterscotch angel delight with flake crumbled on top. Nice you can get something from home if you fancy it .

[@daveangelo4502]

At Tesco Lotus in Rama 9 in BKK I remember seeing a bottle of Jameson Irish Whiskey for about a tenner, which is less than half the price it was back in Ireland where its distilled, happy days!!!!

[@grahamjohnson4702]

That extra cost is for tax, which you don't get everywhere

[@daveangelo4502]

@@grahamjohnson4702 yeah I get that but shipping it across the world too its hard to get your head around how much cheaper it still is.

[@1212warisan]

Great selection DJ Compared to KL those prices look pretty good! A great go to when u feel like food from home 👍

[@davidyet9986]

Are you missing the London Darren?.Still loving your vlogs.

[@mmuzzwell3654]

I live in Holland, a stones throw from the UK, prices are the same as there if not more and there is more choice there.

[@stevensgoodallsg]

Darren try Kungs pies and Tinnies pies if you get the opportunity

[@Helloguys45]

What i find is after 6-8 weeks , i really start craving the UK . I love Thailand so much , but 4-6 week stays . A couple of times a year is plenty for me .

[@johnwindle6378]

Tremendous selection 👌

[@EricOconnell-j5r]

Great ...Darren..you enjoying it ...and all the bikes there.. Bishops stortford Herts.. Have you met Brian Jack's he got holtel complex there ..patta

[@debbiebartlett6526]

What a fantastic shop,great find Darren 😊

[@eddouglas7553]

Dazzer. Sounds like you are missing home. Maybe you will be back in the New Year? Cant work out if you are having second thoughts....

[@DarrenJohn]

I'm human

[@88Heartandsoul]

good video thanks Darren

[@averyBigdislikeofnigelDi-en3re]

Really ?

[@deanhenderson6080]

Make a list of the things you like so when your family visit, ask them to bring you all the things you are missing from home. Most airlines flying to Thailand allow you 2 free bags to check in, your family can have one for them (Clothes etc) and one for you full of goodies,

[@kenlacey2451]

Well I never

[@Vlogging.on.a.donkey]

The prices are not too bad but personally I would either eat Thai food or cook at home or both . Thanks for sharing this

[@KingShaf7]

Lots of expat grocery places but like many have said, do you feel comfortable paying 3-5 times more than you pay in the uk on a weekly basis? I shop at food mart, friendly supermarket or villa market where you can sometimes get decent prices for western groceries

[@tw25rw]

Villa Market and the bigger branches of Tops have imported stuff too. It's easy to get.

[@vwmusicplaylist1935]

7:06 Greggs!! If I lived near, Id be spending megabucks at that shop every week lol

[@markaston1995]

There's a massive Tesco in pattaya

[@colindarroch4022]

These type of shops are everywhere in most countries. We have a supermarket in cyprus that does everything british.

[@ozgoonerguy727]

You struck gold there Darren, pretty much on your doorstep too. Big C supermarkets are good for all your day to day things at a reasonable price, but they do have some import brands as well. There's one near Jomtien as well.

[@kenlacey2451]

Really ?

[@FromVanLifeToThailand]

brilliant find :)

[@stevefrith9924]

That was fun, now to make you really nostalgic. Yesterday was a 20+ person family christmas gathering and sit down around a huge table for a sumptuous feast with four generations of the tribe. Great happy no nonsense community of relations coming together to celebrate a good year past and a better one to come. Keep up the good work, and I hope soon you can make some good friends to enjoy your adventure with. Thanks and happy xmas

[@richardhill2330]

An expat food store called Siamburi's on the dark side has a fairly good selection of food from the UK . it's probably the biggest selection in Pattaya so it might be worth a visit for anyone interested.

[@David-f6y8l]

Looks better than a uk super market. I remember Angel Delight strawberry was my favourite and I loved dream topping.

[@kenlacey2451]

Crikey where do you live Scunthorpe ? Love to see you do your weekly shop in there 🤡

[@dumbshitabroad]

What supermarkets are you going to in the UK if they're worse than that

[@Potterthepattayaperv]

Iceland fishcakes as well....

[@Jay-Leigh]

Loved how your little face lit up and more so over the Weetabix Darren 😂 can't beat them with ice-cold milk and a cup of blueberries. Enjoy friend ❤

It's the little things

Not all sunshine and roses there

Hi Darren, butterscotch angel delight , yess found memories off make it as a kid , eating the hole packet 😊

Plenty of shops like this all over.

[@user-ye2ge4zo5lhennypenny]

Hi Darren you are looking great as usual 😀 👍 love McVities ❤😅 we have alot of these here in Australia too ❤🎉

[@TimK2646]

Nice one. I would be amazed if they stocked the iconic "SMASH instant Mash Potato" ... you remember the advert.

[@paulconnolly5792]

Idaho may be there? You can get in philipines

[@DarrenJohn]

i do

[@thaibillyboy]

Smash, now that brings back memories, i only ate it once and can still remember the taste decades on...lol...i was not fussed on that.

[@chrisfinn7907]

'Then they smash it all to bits...they are truly primitive people' ..thanks for the memory..😀

[@Glynn1965]

Short trip to BKK where you can get Waitrose and M&S too. But with all that delicious Thai food you will not go hungry. But still - lovely to have some familiar favourites now and again

[@chrisfinn7907]

M&S have an outlet in Pattaya...2nd floor in Central shopping mall.. Topps supermarket in basement of Central stocks Waitrose products. Western products are available but pay more because of the import duty..

[@Sally50534]

What amazing shop all English foods at least you can have your Weetabix for your breakfast now Darren yes i can remember having angel delight when i was a kid bring back memories 😊

[@Gothic55]

Nice little shop - I was fortunate when I worked as a diplomat in Asia having access to British High Commission shop. In my experience in bigger Thai towns and cities there are a lot of shops selling expat food items. - often from Australia. Mad seeing super noodles though - colas to Newcastle😂😂😂

[@truckerfromreno]

There's plenty of British foods in Big C and Friendship supermarket on Pattaya Tai.

[@KhrystynaBraverman]

That’s great; you can feel right at home! 🥳

[@nickgolding5786]

That’s a better uk selection than what we’ve got here in perth wa, butterscotch angel delight was my favourite lol

[@Realworldnews247]

Will you go to HUA HIN ? i want to live there in future would like to know your thoughts on the place, you can rent really nice villas for good price there people say it’s the new pattaya

Better off buying the Aussie equivalent at 1/3 of the price there. Weet-Bix

Absolutely OTC!

How are going to get your steps in, if your now making local journeys by scooter?

[@valeriewright8686]

Good question

[@paulthompson4088]

Moving to another country and I think personally absorb the language, food and culture as much as possible. The but don't forget the little things. Especially those blasts from the past. Why move away in the first place 👍

[@blackadder1966]

Those prices are cheaper than Australia! For example, the bisto gravy is in your video $7 Australian. In Australia it's around $10, I've even seen it priced a lot more than that too.

[@unclecraigbaannawk]

I think this is the first video I’ve watched where the person went slow enough over the food prices that I could actually read it…lol

From the HEAT to Air Conditioning in the store Taking it for granted the coolness until outside again .

I was very jealous of the selection of UK Comfort food I live in Poland and have to order online but very limited products plus you wait 4/6 weeks for delivery Expensive but sometimes you deserve a Wee Treat ❤

[@mikekaraoke]

Love this retro shop, home comforts indeed-some of them prices though re to be expected! You said not been eatin choc, but everying in moderation and also Dark choc is good for you. 🍫 And who remembers Angel Delight-you can still get it confused lol When you were getting on your bike/riding it through the streets-I though of hit TV Show: Street Hawk: But instead of Jesse Mach(Darren John), an ex-motorcycle cop, injured in the line of duty. Now a police troubleshooter, he's been recruited for a top secret government mission to ride Street Hawk -- an all-terrain attack motorcycle designed to fight urban crime, capable of incredible speeds up to three hundred miles an hour, and immense firepower. Only one man, federal agent Norman Tuttle, knows Jesse Mach's true identity. The man...the machine...Street Hawk.

[@DavidDunning-g6s]

What a lovelly little shop that's what will remind u off home the little things 😂😂

I LOVED ANGEL DELIGHT, chocolate for me, I didn't know it was still around

[@tonymcintosh3480]

There are plenty of farang food shops in pattaya open your eyes also lazada has a decent food selection Stilton etc

[@Chris-k4c1z]

I have shopped here many times, a little shocked that you never really spoke about the extortionate price, compared to know price, as it truly is exceptionally high, very high, but not really spoken about

[@markburns2545]

Massive respect 🙏...first of all...wow...chill ....relax.....things are different now.... this ✔️, is your place, by choice now....adapt, and move forward, never go back.. massive respect 🙏, you know.. your gonna be all good....trust me.....

[@stewartgrant7724]

HI Darren Well what an interesting little shop that you had found I could not believe the amount of selection that was in that small shop. I bet there are very few shops like that in Thailand so its ideal for all those E-Pats who miss those home comforts. At least you found your Weetabix and the good thing it was the large size,usually abroad you get the smaller packets. Thank you for sharing.

[@northlonguy]

Try Angel Delight made with evaporated milk instead of normal milk! It’s the best!

When me and my twin brother went to grandma and grandad in Dorset, when it was pudding time grandma would ask , " ice cream or custard boys "? We always answered BOTH😇😇 my grandma loved cooking and at 59 as grandparents ourself living 100 miles apart, my brother and me still ask our wife's for both when ever it's possible (and always when out for a meal). Angel delight was a standby my mum had , and if we had enough milk (in glass bottles from the unigate milkman in edgware) it was also a treat. Choc, strawberry or butterscotch for me please.
