Morethanthe population Yea, but we're, and me, ain't there. Not that it matters. Long ways before the breaking point of the populous...anywhere. Thais will simply stop or slow buying the silly priced stuff, until it comes back down. Expect a larger and louder protests next year if something doesn't happen. So much for freezing the meat prices last month, same as diesel, seems every other week they let rise up another 1 baht. People will tire of the BS soon, then they'll just bring it down to half the silly increase, and everyone will be thankful. Sadly, accept that as the new normal ... ????

I would think that exports actually have slumped for the past 2 years, not only because of covid restrictions, but also because of sky high transportation prices. So gouging is my guess 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A quick look here in Richmond, VA - 10 pound bags of leg/thigh quarters. Cheapest one is at ALDI (the German store). Maybe they're raising 4-legged chickens these days and have an over supply. Prices per pound for whole chicken. (The $6.29 is average price for ~ a 5.5 lb chicken @ $1.12/lb) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sticky Rice Balls Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 22 hours ago, Damrongsak said: I've gotten by without meat for 50 years now. 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. is my main protein when back home--i go to the stores that discount eggs-organics as they last well after exp date...i also do this with meat--shop at stores that discount meat and cook it all off for the week as they cant sell it past exp date but is still fine--thus getting it half off I used to cook for Whole foods and the amount of food waste was so appalling it quit... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lately we have it knocked. Nearby friends vacation a lot, so I care for their 2 dogs, 2 lovebirds, 6 laying hens and water the plants. I get all sorts of colored eggs for free, not to mention an occasional case of beer. They have about 120 sq meter enclosure and the chickens occasionally get out in the larger yard. I hand feed them lawn weeds like chickweed and clover. They just got 4 more baby chicks that are currently at my house :). Back to chicken, I see stats that in 2021, the US produced 9.3 Billion broiler chickens in 2021. It will be interesting to see how inflation, supply and demand affect prices over here the next year vs. Thailand. I feel sorry for the folks who are just eking out a living. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
