What's Christmas without a mountain of chocolate?!
I'm actually heading over to Bangkok for Christmas for 5 days. I have 30kg of checked luggage that I wasnt planning on using, so I'm thinking about bringing a suitcase full of chocolate. This sounds like a good idea, but I really hope it doesn't melt…
Are there any specials going on at the moment? I remember seeing that giant sampler at Safeway for $20 earlier in the year. I think there's a 1kg box of Roses for $20 at Costco too.
Transfer the weight.
I have a whole bunch of friends and their families that I'd gift it to. Real chocolate is expensive over there.
The Chocolate Box has pretty good quality chocolate (i.e. real chocolate as you say) - you can get the chocolate directly from the factory in Port Melbourne for a 15% discount! http://www.yelp.com.au/biz/chocolate-box-factory-port-melbou…
Also, not chocolate per se but chocolate related, their coconut roughs are out of this world. A friend and I were scoping the store out (for samples) and after trying one we were suckered into buying 1kg each! It was cheap though, like $8 per.
If my recent trip to Singapore is indicative, it should last the plane trip no probs. About an hour after the flight i got a belt out of my bag at hotel and the metal buckle was really cold! But don't expect it to last too long otherwise.
Out of curiosity what are you going to do with suitcase full of chocolate in Bangkok?
