And that all because of a Thai singer promoted mango with sticky rice on a festival... I am wondering what wold happen if Thai beer was promoted on a festival.... as it is forbidden to promote alcohol.. ask Lisa for example

If so, why are the wholesale prices under 20 baht per kilo? Most mango growers are starving right now. High demand usually equates with a fair price.

Only no. 7? Does that mean that SIX other producer countries are AHEAD of you, Thailand? Ooh, that's got to hurt the ego and face.

With the current craze for sticky rice and mango, I'm surprised that Thailand has any mangoes left to export!

Well, they might have the number one spot in the Durian export ranking.Most of Thai Durians go to China, that's why the local price of Durians has shot up over the last decade.

Does anyone know where I can buy Thai Mangoes in the UK? The ones I see on the UK supermarket shelves look as if they need returning to country of origin.
