Well at over 100 baht a kilo in the shell that is not cheap. It depends how much they give you, one segment, they are making a killing, unlimited, well they likely would lose money. The reality is you shouldn't eat too much of that stuff. It has alcohol in it and bumps up blood pressure. Very high cholesterol. I no longer find the smell puts me off, more now as appetizing. The stuff is addictive and delicious. Chilled with vanilla ice-cream......mmmm....
