Most of the big hire companies do one way hire at no extra cost as long as you book it for a minimum of three days, I've done it numerous times here. If Hertz or someone have an office in Buriram is shouldn't be a problem.

In most National Parks (everyone I've been to except for in Phuket, but thats Phuket for you!) you get local rates if you show you are a resident of Thailand and not a tourist, same goes for most tourist attractions with double pricing.
Just show a Thai drivers license or similar Thai ID and 99% of the time they are happy to charge you the local fee.

English Muffins and crumpets and completely different things. An English muffin is a type of bread (goes under your Eggs Benadict), whereas a crumpet is made from a batter mix (like a pancake mix, but with yeast in). The Aussie Drop Scone is similar to a crumpet but is a thicker batter and doesn't need a mould to shape it.

I've never seen the makro puff pastry, so can't comment on that, but I normally use Villas own brand. It's about 100 baht for a 250g slab and is the best I've found here. The imported Jus Roll stuff is terrible and very expensive. I guess its so bad here due to none of the supermarkets realising you shouldn't let it defrost and then freeze again (a big problem in every supermarket in this country). The Villa brand has the best butter flavour out of them all and isn't sweetened. Foodland also make their own and it's a little cheaper, but isn't very good, bad flavour and has been 'worked' to much and is like trying to roll out rubber. Also, if you're in BK then the Rama 4 branch of Big C import a range of fresh pastries from France that are good too.

In Europe I often made my own puff at home, but in this heat it's tough and gave up a few years ago. I occasionally make 'rough puff' here but even then it's hard with the heat.

I've (thankfully) never seen Richmond sausages over here. The nearest you'll get are the mass produced imported ones in the freezer section of the farang friendly supermarkets.

Richmond are a Irish company that mass produce cheap sauages. I think they contain less than 50% meat. These are not what a British (or Irish) sausage should be like. But in the same way people seem to think that a McDonalds is nice, some people like cheap sausages too. Each to there own.

If you like Richmonds then the locally made 'British' ones may suit your taste.
