Hi,

 

Can anyone suggest a place or places to source lamb (or mutton, or maybe even goat) here?

 

I know it’s available from Makro but I’m interested in any alternative importers, distributers, etc, or even places supplying domestically produced meat.

 

Many thanks. 

Villa market normally stock lamb, but I've found that they're more expensive than Makro.

Look at these two companies. We used them for all our meats, they deliver anywhere in Thailand.

Jagota

or

Foodiva

We found that although Foodiva is a smaller company, there meat is good quality.

Good Luck.

Web search came up with the following

 

Lamb | Bangkok Bob's (bangkokbobs.com)

 

Lamb — Premium Imported meats, delivered anywhere in Thailand — Siam Viking

 

Meat – Meat Market Thailand

 

Lamb - BritiShop, Thailand

 

 

Something wrong with Makro, or do you just enjoy paying more for the same product ?

I have he same question in fact but for rabbit... Makro had once but now not available anymore..any tips?

Tried Jagota in Phuket, Oysters are freshly flown in but AVOID the meat or fish, 3 out of 4 times mine was off !

It´s just that you are all wrong. There is something called a quality factor, that will disagree with calling it the same product.

 

I guess as always, you will get what you pay for. And if that factor does not bother you, then you can eat whatever.

I have to say that the lamb I’ve purchased from Makro, when they have it, has always been top quality, and I’ve brought a fair bit over the years.

If there was one anywhere near me I might well visit Foodland.

I am very surprised to hear that there is sometimes no Foodland in the same vicinity as a Villa Market. But then I do not live in Bangkok and am mainly only around the lower Sukhumvit area when I do go there.

As others have mentioned Villa do (frozen) lamb chops, lamb shoulder and leg.  Sometimes they have lamb steaks.  But they are expensive.

 

The Accidental Butcher has amazing meat and it is fresh, not frozen.  I bought a fresh shoulder of lamb recently for 1,000 baht which is pretty good value and the meat was superb (a shoulder of lamb in Villa is closer to 1,200 baht and it is frozen).  They also do fresh lamb racks, fresh legs.  Also the staff are great and really know their stuff so you can ask them about the meat.  They supply a lot of restaurants.    https://www.theaccidentalbutcher.com/category/4660/lamb

 

Passion delivery also has a good selection.  I have never used them but they get great reviews.  https://passiondelivery.com/en/catalogsearch/result/?q=lamb

I do not live in Bangok either, where I live there are two Villas, a Lotus's, Big C, Tops, Makro and a Gourmet Market, but no Foodland.

That surprises me, having traveled through much of Thailand on my motorbike, there is always Makro and an occasion Tops in some places. Apart from Bangkok and Pattaya I have never seen a Villa or  Foodland.

Maybe on your travels pop into Hua Hin, and if you find a Foodland please let me know.

My travels on the motorbike have only been sometimes in Bangkok and Pattaya, never south of there. They have mostly been in Central Thailand and Isaan.

I have only been in Hua Hin once and that was when I was a school teacher, and the teachers at the school were invited down to Hua Hin for the weekend. It was a very nice place.

Villa Markets in Udon Thani, Phuket & Hua Hin, aside from Krung Thep.  FoodLand, not so many:

Phuket, Hua Hin & Udon Thani have Villa supermarkets also and Foodland is in Korat.

The reason for my initial enquiry was due to Makro no longer stocking my preferred lamb product (minced/ground Australian), so wanted to explore any other options. 

 

Hopefully we'll continue to be able to buy lamb in Thailand, and perhaps one day the Thais themselves will start eating it more regularly too.

 

Thanks for all the replies on the subject.

 

 

How Dare You!!!
