The Thai supermarket on URR

So sad to find out that the lovely Thai shop on the URR, opposite the local Sainsbury and then walk right for a bit.  They had such lovely things and I used to go there regularly, but admittedly not frequently.  Really nice, friendly, knowledgeable and helpful staff.I guess they just didn't have enough customers, what a shame.  So feeling like a bit of a turncoat, does anyone know of a similar shop in the immediate area.

Missed out the bit that it has closed .. such a shame.  It seems to be a dress shop now, looking from across the road.  Would really appreciate advice on other Thai food shops, I used to go there for my Tom Yum paste, best thing ever!!

And I see their next door restaurant is now Pinto Thai. Web says the owners handed the business to daughter in 2015. I wonder what she did? For supplies I go to Hoo Hing in Mitcham. Not too far and reasonable selection

Thanks Peter, there is also a Thai supermarket on the Richmond roundabout on the A316.  Was hoping to find somewhere a bit closer.

They weren't the same after they changed from the original Talad Thai/shop. All packet stuff and less fresh produce. I go to Hoo Hing too but also there is a great one near Kingston/New Malden way but I need to check the name.  They sell fresh/live fish too
