Nearly all the local Thai pharmacies I have been into in the major Thai cities seem to carry bodyguard brand - up to size 56:

The VIP thing is not a fraud, there is some value to be had with that service. You might not think the delivery charge at FPF was bad, but FPF has some pretty big mark-ups on the food. I rarely order from them anymore.  ChefXP doesn't mark up the food price, and the delivery charge is also only 60 baht.  ChefXp also has a comparable list of restuarant options.

The place doesn't really puzzle me, but the pizza is anything but impressive.  I still get delivery from them a couple of times a year, but more because of the lack of decent options in BKK.

The pepperoni is not worth ording - not even close to American style pepperoni (this is one of the main reasons I don't order from them more, as 75%+ of the pizza's I order have pepperoni).  Cheese is only ok.  Sauce is decent/good.  But most of the time the crust is undercooked for my tastes.

I typically get one of their ground beef or blue cheese steak (steak - not, it is ground beef) pizzas - would probably order these more often if the cooking of the crust was more consistant.

Thanksgiving is my fav US holiday - food, football, and family - hard to beat.  

I typically buy a full blown dinner set for the family meal from one of the major hotels in BKK - typically JW Marriot.  Turkey, stuffing, mashed taters, gravy, ect, ect.  Best part about the food is leftovers - cold turkey sandwiches - yum.  We used to get a couple of pies as well, but we typically don't bother with the pies anymore - none of them seem to measure up to Mom's - plus they tend to be way over priced.  Better/less expensive pies would help, but I don't really miss them that much.  Also would kind of like to have a whole deep fried turkey from time to time.  But all in from a food point of view things are pretty good in BKK for Thanksgiving.

Now with ASN the football is taken care of as well.

So the only thing I miss on Thanksgiving in BKK is the extended family......

I buy Dr P at the 33 shop, but most of the time it seems a little flat?  Is it just me or have others noticed this?

I have been living in Asia for over ten years, and I recall when I first moved over here many of the soda/pop seemed to be highly carbonated (especially in China) - so maybe I have become accustomed to a different level of carbonation, and the Dr P I'm getting from Villa is not really flat?  

But then again the cherry coke seems to be OK - not flat?

Since I'm doing a bit of complaining, I might as well go all out.  Now that it seems there is a chance Villa will carry Dr. P regularly would it be asking too much to get the good stuff - the cane sugar stuff (Dublin Dr. P), and not the corn syrup stuff?
