I find Thai strawberries almost as inedible (small/hard/white/bitter) as Thai bananas (short/fat/sickly sweet). Your standards must be considerably different to mine. Thai fruit just isn't all that good IMHO. I hardly eat any. Edited February 25, 2022 by BritManToo 4 1 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big red juicy English strawberries can’t be beat. For sure, Thailand is better than some other places but with a big dark cloud over it in the form of an autocratic gov… not far off tyrant. Putin. you obviously haven't seen the strawberries from up north. Yes there are small ones, but the ones we buy from roadside sellers are the size of golf balls, some even bigger, and they are sweet & juicy. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your standards must be considerably different to mine. Thai fruit just isn't all that good IMHO. I hardly eat any. The strawberries up in the mountain areas where it is colder are much more edible. The bananas, mangoes, apples, pineapple, rambutan, mangosteen, putsa and strawberries I eat are all delicious. It's a matter of knowing which market stall sells the good stuff. I don't understand why people bag Thai food. I balloon out to 100 kg when I go back to Australia, I am 88 kg here. Healthier diet. Your post has given more support to my hypothesis the NHS in Britain has a secret section that goes around hospital maternity wards in the UK, removing the taste buds of new-borns. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But strawberries in Thailand are just not what strawberries are supposed to be. Where in Thailand can you get strawberries like this? Well you are not living in Chiang Mai. My local market on highway 121 has big juicy strawberries just like your picture. And yes, there are also the Thai ones at lower cost. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterw42 Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 It appears strawberries have become the default "quality of life" indicator. I remember the good old days when it was hookers and beer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
