Hi,

 

I need noodles (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khanom_chin)  impoted from Thailand. The quantity would be around 2 kgs or less. What is the cheapest way to ship such an item? Any details appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Neole

A very long envelope?

I'm not sure of where you are or your intentions but they are a fresh noodle & would only last 2 days max

PS : This is from the wife (in Thailand at the moment )

You can buy flat rice noodle in almost any country surely? Find a Thai expat community.

They come in packets which can be kept for a couple of years. The intention is just to cook and eat. I had bought packs on my last trip but they are over. The next trip is in April. They are not available in Kiev where I am now.

you can already get Thai Noodles in Most European Countries,

You can get this in any "Asia shop" im quite sure kiev has some of these too. In my home city they are usually imported from Vietnam and are thus called "bun", but its the same

Could anyone just tell me the cheapest shipping option?

Start here http://www.thailandpost.co.th/index.php?page=rate_result&country_code=UA&weight=2000

 

2kg, surface 860 Baht. There may be cheaper options, Google is your friend.

 

Are you sure you are in Kiev?

 

Thanks, yes for another month at least.

cheapest post is surface but it can take 4-6 weeks

 

there is also SAL - small packet , part is by Air , then surface , it could be 2-4 weeks

 

just  go to Thai Post website and check ,  

 

Customs in your country might want to open them........so then they would probably not be any good to eat !

Thai Post will / may ask if there are any liquids in the parcel.

Most noodles, as you know, have a small sachet containing a sauce in liquid form.

If you say noodles the post office may ask you to open the parcel before accepting it.

Liquids are not allowed to be sent by Thai Post as far as I know.

The last time I sent any form of liquid back to the UK I had to use a courier service.

 

Added text - Some packs of noodles have the seasoning in powdered form, not sure which ones though.

As far as i understood him he wants to send plain dry noodles, not mama

If you cannot live without them, you may have an addiction .

You could go to see your doctor and he may prescribe you substitute noodles

oldcarguy - Thanks for the detailed info!

 

Speedo1968 - I just need the dry noodles. Anyway I will ask the sender to check for liquid sachets in any one pack to confirm

 

jackdd - Yes, correct

 

 

Here is how to make the fermented kind - very labor intensive.  I would think making the non-fermented fresh type would be relatively easy.  Maybe just make and steam the dough as in the final steps, then just extrude and cook the noodles.
