Ep. 25 Foods, Toiletries, and Tools You Won’t Find in Thailand (and Why)
Welcome to Soul Thai, your essential guide to healing, relocating, and thriving in Thailand. This episode uncovers the often-overlooked realities of moving abroad, specifically addressing the availability of everyday items that American expats might miss. Discover why popular US comfort foods, specific breakfast cereals, canned soups, and even your preferred hot sauces are scarce or significantly pricier due to Thailand's fresh, local food economy. Learn about the limited options for Western toiletries, often replaced by whitening or herbal formulas, and the rarity of certain kitchen gadgets and baking tools as Thai homes operate differently. This guide offers practical advice on adapting to local alternatives, planning to bring your non-negotiables, and embracing these "little shifts" as part of a smooth, successful, and healing transition to life in Thailand.
