March 27, 20205 yr In reading this mornings Bkk Post Online there are 2 articles on egg prices. One talks about possible egg price gouging and the other talks about a big slump in prices. Very confusing. Which is the correct story?
March 27, 20205 yr Look at FB marketplace....150 baht for 30 eggs...normally in Lotus etc about 90 baht.....face masks, hand wash and eggs is every other add on FB now....
March 27, 20205 yr Whatever the price , if you want them you will have to shell out......if you can find any fresh ones.

On cartons bought from Big C or Tesco the date of manufacture is printed on the label. Sometimes they push the fresher eggs to the back and leave the older ones showing at the front. I generally find the eggs in a big carton of 30 a little fresher and smaller than in the 10 baht carton. I try to avoid buying eggs from a market for this reason because you can't always tell how fresh they are. Also , in the hot season eggs exposed to the heat tend to go off quicker. You will notice when you try to fry the egg because it runs all over the pan and bubbles up. In this case only good for omelettes or scrambled egg.

March 27, 20205 yr Good luck finding some. In our area all wiped off the shelves. You might have read the threads about the "egg crisis".
March 27, 20205 yr See here. https://forum.thaivisa.com/topic/1155993-politician-wants-eggs-to-be-on-state-price-control-list/ Post #5 onward.
March 27, 20205 yr Went to the market yesterday and my wife had to buy duck eggs, big rich, 135 baht for 30. Egg lady told her they normally open up at 2.00 am for their egg delivery, and these days they sell out quickly so if you want chicken eggs come very early. They won't be open at 2.00 am now there is curfew! So 6.00 am this morning turned up at the market, my wife bought 3 trays of 30 size 1 eggs for 135 baht each tray. We normally pay from 95 - 100 baht for that size. I think the threats of prison and fines will keep prices half-way reasonable.

I'm somewhat mystified in Chiang Rai, because the shelves are almost bare of eggs in Big C, yet across the highway in Tops the shelves are full.

March 28, 20205 yr I bought eggs at a local supermarket chain here in CM yesterday evening. Prices were normal and the supermarket was fairly well stocked with eggs though there were some areas where the shelves were a bit barer than usual, for example Ramen noodles. I also purchased one of the last boxes of Imperial pancake mix - a Thai brand.
March 28, 20205 yr The eggs I bought today at 7/11 were the same price as before, so maybe those two news items average each other out. ????
March 28, 20205 yr I just bought 10 eggs at family mart For 62baht. I wish i could get that much for my eggs in nz. Had 36,000 laying hens. Times were extremely hard after the industry was de regulated.

March 28, 20205 yr We’ve just got over the toilet roll issue.......start a new series of posts on eggs why don’t you.......if they are any more than Thb 90/30 eggs don’t buy them, walk away !! Plenty of people behind you will buy them. See we’ve got lots of eggsperts on TV again.....sorry couldn’t resist that one. ????

If the egg lays on its side at the bottom, it is still quite fresh. If the egg stands upright on the bottom, it is still fine to eat, but should be eaten very soon, or hard-boiled. If the egg floats to the top, it's past its prime, and not good for eating
March 28, 20205 yr Eggs are really bad for you - especially the yolks - always have a white omelette or white scrambled eggs . Sorry only joking - poached eggs are just truly wonderful. I probably had to say it - why on earth would you worry about the price of eggs - unless you are an eggoholic
