And kind of you to let the OP know. . But he didn't ask for your opinions..... He wanted to know where he can get this particular brand (which he seems to like)???? You must be unfamiliar of how a forum works. The op had 3 choices 1) Go to sattahip. or SI-Richa, makro stores. 2) Buy some bread at one of the 50 or more outlets selling quality bread in the pattaya area. 3) Shut up and wait till Makro in pattaya has some. A truly amazing thread. pattaya has all sorts. Edited June 17, 2022 by Orinoco 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I buy my bread from Big C extra, they have a great range of bread. Lots of wholemeal and wholegrains to choose from. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being sold alongside MAKRO seed (?poppy) bread. I managed to purchase 3 whole wheat loaves a couple of days ago. Plenty of white bread. All produced in "on site" bakery.

bbko Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 I know the Makro on Pattaya's Sukhumvit has a small office/bakery staff next to the bread section, how hard is it to ask them? Maybe Aro wheat comes in later in the day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read First post So then if there's no Aro whole wheat bread in Makro per the staff, why not find another brand/store, Makro isn't the only supplier of wheat bread in all of Pattaya, right? No need to make a mountain out of a molehill. There's many groceries goods not available to us farangs, we learn to deal with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've actually noticed that sometimes Tesco's is out of sliced bread lately. There's not much choice really. I think theres "Farmers Pride" or "Tesco's Bread". Lately if I see it in stock I'll buy a loaf just in case there out on the next visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First link explains a slight drop in demand for wheat, and I guess without 30m ish tourist, makes sense: https://www.world-grain.com/articles/16225-thai-wheat-imports-forecast-to-decline https://oec.world/en/profile/bilateral-product/wheat/reporter/tha#:~:text=Thailand imports Wheat primarily from,United States (%2420.7M). I'm sure I am missing something here, but would $15 worth of wheat to Qatar really be considered an export? ????
