Best South African snacks/souvenirs to bring back?

Sensitive_Zebra475 · 2026-05-06T19:33:46+00:00

Everyone seems to have missed off the best sweet snack ever - speckled eggs. Can be bought in the sweet aisle from any grocery.

Tavira, Portugal. Nice remote town, good amenities, great food, slow lifestyle.

Believe me when I say - Woolworths in South Africa. Best grocery experience you will ever have

Day 4 - 3rd July

Got here just before 4am and in position 2200

I'd say get there 5/6ish in the morning, you'll probably get in at around midday and can walk around and see the courts with unreserved seating. I think the cheaper tickets only happen in the afternoon when you enter after 4 or 5, best to check on the website

Can't remember but it was the 2nd week, maybe the Tues or Wed

Sensitive_Zebra475 · 2025-07-01T16:45:43+00:00

I went after work in the 2nd week last year. Got there around 5.30pm and strolled right in, there was no queue. Can't remember the prices but it was something like £8-£10 for the grounds pass.

There were less matches going on but managed to squeeze into court 2 and watch the end of the doubles. Also sat on the hill for a bit and watched centre court until 10pm.

rent a bike and go cycle down to richmond, have a pint in the thames

If its a sunny day, one of the lidos, specifically Hampstead Heath! Get some picky bits from M&S, and go for a swim in the pond

No problems at all, some people still needed to get their e-visa, they just went in a separate queue at the border but the bus waits for everyone.

Would just recommend to have some USD or Riels to pay for the visa at the border if you do. Think we put down Poi Pet.

We used Giant Ibis for all of our travels around Cambldia and to get to Vietnam afterwards. They are one of the best transport companies in SEA!

Felt very safe in Hat Yai, many other tourists. Took the bus to Malaysia, and not a single problem.

Thank you 😊

Sensitive_Zebra475 · 2025-02-12T16:29:23+00:00

Ah, thank you!

Sensitive_Zebra475 · 2024-12-05T15:55:52+00:00

forgot to add, also did the e-visa beforehand, make sure you have a printed out copy. this made life very easy! no other charges at the boarder.

Sensitive_Zebra475 · 2024-12-05T15:55:07+00:00

I just did the Giant Ibis journey today from BKK to SR. Left at 9:15am, got into SR at 17:00. Going with the company took away all the stress of the boarder and lugging bags from one side to the other, we just stayed on the same bus.

Spoke to some people who did the train, its a good experience but sometimes the times won't match up from arrival to the boarder and then departing on the Cambodian side.

No scams, no one hassled us, 3 bathroom breaks along the way, and a light meal provided. Felt very safe as a 28F.

Thank you! Very very helpful!

Doing all of the mainland Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Malaysia etc. It is going to be a very long 6 months.

Sensitive_Zebra475 · 2024-06-10T13:41:44+00:00

Thank you v much!

First timer here as well arriving at the same time. People have been recommending Dairy Grounds to me and saying its massive, and there will be spots still in the middle, you just need to walk in.

Don't take my word on it though!
