BEVUP Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 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 ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neole Posted January 15, 2018 Author Share Posted January 15, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackdd Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldcarguy Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 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 !

Speedo1968 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 (edited) 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.

sanemax Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neole Posted January 17, 2018 Author Share Posted January 17, 2018 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damrongsak Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 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. https://thaifoodmaster.com/thai_food_recipes/thai_noodle_recipes/1092#.Wl-MMHlOmHs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
