sscc Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 There are. Available in Big C and Lotus Supermarkets in Pattaya and Bangkok. Actually a better kind/brand available in Thailand just roughly one year ago -- fruitless and more delicious. Cheaper too. I bought and ate plenty.

Bill97 Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Availability of oranges has been intermittent for more than a few weeks in CM.

Moonlover Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 No it's not just you @THAIPHUKET. I also have a preference for navel oranges. (Big C seem to Like calling them nevel oranges!) but they are not always available. So I just 'suck it up' buy what's available. I don't bother tramping the around the stores, I just assume they're not around at the moment. Right now they are available and they're delicious. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogradod Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Since YEARS I am after tasty oranges here in Thailand. Without success. Actually I am after the juice because I need it occasionally for cooking. The ready made juice - even the most expensive direct pressed important ones for a fortune - do not really satisfy. In Switzerland you walk into your casual supermarket and get the finest of both. Most seem to be from Spain. The best ready made juice is actually from France (see picture). If yo have any idea whrere I could get this stuff I would be delighted. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimeMachine Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Imagine if Thailand opened up to imports without high taxes or banning certain products. You would have 10 different orange varieties to choose from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novacova Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 The sukhothai, shogun, golden and tangerine varieties here are good, no need to look further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickenslegs Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 I bought 1kg of clementines in Big C today. Normally I only see them in the shops around Christmas, so I thought I'd try some. Easy to peel of course, but they were quite dry and full of seeds - very disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
placeholder Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Australian blood oranges are on sale at MAKRO 99 baht per kilo Australian mandarins too. Very sweet. I think 59 baht per kilo. But I may be wrong about that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a hint...there aren't any high rates and there aren't any varieties that are banned. You are not wrong but you need to read between the lines. The overall policy of Thailand is to limit importing and stick with the Thai manufacturing, services and products. Thailand is very protective of its brand and fairly so. But at a price. Lack of choice. I have no idea on exact details on oranges but I do know that if I tried to import a container of navel oranges into Thailand it would be impossible without paying massive paper bag money first. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
