Tawana Oriental Supermarket sell a very wide range of foods from all over South East Asia, and Thailand in particular.
There's a good selection of fresh produce. I've started using galangal a lot (similar to ginger but milder) in my attempts at Thai cookery.
They sell all sorts of herbs and spices and other authentic ingredients.
I bought some jackfruit, which makes a great substitute for chicken in vegetarian recipes. I'd not come across peteh bean seeds before (some say it's an acquired taste):
also in this picture is fresh white turmeric (lighter in colour but a stronger flavour than ordinary turmeric), fresh tamarind, and hog plums.
If you don't fancy doing everything from scratch they also sell ready made meals.
