Howdy Nick, welcome to this forum.

I think you are our first Member located in Thailand, thus I've just added Thailand to our member locations sticky post in this Board and added Thailand to our Geographic Board in case you or anyone has any Thailand specific posts.

My family and I lived in Brunei for 5 years we had a 2 weeks vacation in Thailand @ 2000, probbaly changed a bunch since then. My wife would love to retire there, but too humid for me.

Thailand,  man, I don't even want to think about the funky molds and critters that might inhabit your cheese cave.

I spend 3 years in the the PI, in and out of the various jungles around there.  Lots of "stuff" grows everywhere.

Welcome, what kind of cheese are available there? Any local cheese we've never heard of?

UK? I guess you can try rice wine and stilton? ;D

Hi everyone and thanks for the warm welcome. I get almost all variety's of cheese albeit imported mostly from NewZealand.. As far as I know there is no company manufacturing it in Thailand, its all imported! Thais don't like cheese much.. They prefer rotten fish. (I am not kidding) its called Bala.
