Info for pineapple seller

[Isan Farang]

Just checking if any Uttaradit based guys can help me out.

On my recent trip to Chiang Rai we passed a PTT fuel station same side heading to CR, near the exit at whare 7/11 is there was a pick up selling pineapples the guy told my wife he is selling there most days but not sure whare his farm is. When I handed them out to people I know they told me the taste was excellent so just checking if someone can get his phone number or they know whare his farm is.

I am heading there next month so I want to check if we can order a couple of sacks full. and collect on the way back.

You shouldn't have problems with getting Pineapples. They are on sale everywhere here and all are very sweet & Delish, costing anything from 10bt to 15bt depending on size. If you want lots you can more than likely get a discount. N/B that is at present but what the availability will be next month who know.

Fred these pineapples cost around 20 - 25 per KG, my knowledge is limited but my wife told me they are difficult to find in Ubon, perhaps some do not wish to pay the higher cost.

My friend in CR grows pineapples and even he told me the ones in Uttaradit are very sweet, this year the pineapples in CR took a massive drop in price, I came back with 4 sacks full and the owner gave me for free as he had lots that if left would just rot.

When I pass through  Uttaradit next month I will ask around whare some farms are, and stop at the PTT whare I got the last lot.

 

This is a picture of the market in Uttaradit, but the guy at the PTT who owns the farm will discount for 2 sacks.

I have just been out for a drive some 200km round trip, and visit some folks. 2 weeks ago there were lots of Pineapple places (Stalls Etc) selling same. This time not a thing. Most seem to be selling Dragon fruit. Best of luck next month as they might be a goner. Fruit and things seem to be very seasonal. We did see one stall with lots of P/A but the G/L said the pineapples were from Phuket and only fit for cooking, she didn't even get out of the car, one look was enough (Something to do with the size of their eyes???) Like you I don't know to much about same. But I do know the sweetest ones come from Rayon. Sorry to say not obtainable up north.
