Popular Post howlee101 Posted July 3, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 3, 2022 Just curious, where are you from, and what chicken part are you buying for 100 baht/kg? 100 baht equals $2.85 at the current exchange rate....and $2.85 per kilo in the US for any chicken part probably can't be found. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iamfalang Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 That is disappointing. Chicken, I think, is remotely healthy if not fried. I'll eat some tomorrow. We are still in the golden age of apartments for 29 baht and trains for 3 baht with a free bowl of noodle soup. In about 20-years, rents will go to 10,000 at the absolute minimum and 20,000 the norm everywhere in Thailand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maha Sarakham Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Chicken is often $1 a lb. here in the US for the dark meat (thighs/legs), which is about $2 for a kg. That is surprising. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Means chicken costs more than the equivalent of three US Dollars for one Kilogram of chicken meat = 2.2046 pounds weight (for the uneducated).

Not surprising as CP seems to own and control everything, including the country. How the hell can they justify a 30% price rise in chicken and eggs? Has the feed got more expensive? The biggest producer and retailer in the country. They must be sucking lemons trying to keep the smile off their face 2 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do suck eggs and eat dairy. I see egg prices are up here in the US lately. The past few years one could get them for less than $1 a dozen, about 2.5 Baht each. Now maybe 5 Baht each. But egg prices have been all over the place for years. Chicken and pork can still be had here for reasonable prices. Good beef is worth rustling at present.
