Vientiane - Post Report Question and Answers

What household or grocery items do you wish you had shipped to post?

I wish I shipped more pasta sauces I like as there are limited selections here. We shipped a lot of laundry detergent (Tide), dishwashing liquid (Dawn), mosquito repellent (spray), and sunscreen (aerosol) in our consumables shipment. Others made sure they shipped a lot of wines/beers/hard liquors that they like. There is a commissary in Bangkok that you can order from but it can be a little expensive with limited inventory. - Mar 2024


Maybe cleaning supplies? We did have some issues with ants so maybe products to deal with pests would be a good idea as well. - Jun 2020


None yet. We get most things on the local economy. - Oct 2018


Car items, as we often waited for Amazon to deliver wipers, filters, etc. Tires. We came to post with nice tires, ended up blowing two of them, and got the best they had, which looked a little used to me. - Jan 2014
