We are relocating to Malaysia soon due to dh's work. Fellow British who have moved to South East Asia, what do you miss but can't easily get ? Also, what is really expensive there but cheap here? Dh's company is paying for shipment so we can throw some stuff in.. give me some ideas, thanks 😊

If you are European shoes in larger sizes used to be expensive and harder to find.
Ditto larger bras

Oh and books/magazines are much more expensive

@Ohthatsabitshit thanks! Not bother with big size garment, but books are good shout 👍.. my kids read lots and I always bought from fb marketplace for next to nothing

I could never find strong Deet in SE Asia so would always buy jungle formula when back in UK. And suncream as it’s cheaper!

Decent tampons- not much choice here. Books as they have some decent bookshops but not everything that I want to read and amazon shipping is expensive and slow. Dry shampoo is hard to find sometimes or out of stock so bring lots of that if you use it.
