Try this place I found some good cheeses there it’s not that far

It depends on where you live.

 

I live in rural Kamphaeng Phet, so it would be an 800km round trip and an overnight stop, not to mention a pee stop every 2 hours or so.

I love very strong cheddar cheese and used to buy the Epicure version of, I think it was Mainland Cheese, at Rimping Markets. However, a small chunk (200g ?) cost over 200 baht. The Gecko Garden on Sridonchai Road near Pantip Plaza  has several excellent cheeses for sale as well as real butter (from New Zealand I think), and coldcuts at very attractive prices. They have a crumbly English cheddar, very sharp and very tasty, for about 400 baht per kilo. They sell gouda and feta cheese also.

I had eaten there once in while over the years but since I learned they also sell cheese and butter, I always buy those items there.

 

The same cheese at Makro for 279 baht but then 470gr or Aro house brand slighty cheaper sometimes, but same cheeses as Mainland

Last weekend Big C, Panthip Plaza, Night bazaar had all the Mainland varieties including Vintage on half price special. 250 gram blocks for 119.50 baht. Had a fair supply of each variety.

 

Don't know if the offer is still on or if they have any left.

Is there a Villa Market there? Villa had the best cheese selection that I had seen in Bangkok.

 That's on the list for next week at Makro. 

 

 

Don't ever be tempted to buy Makro's "horeca" cheese, even for cooking, it's rubbish.

 

Vintage aged cheddar is the most tasty, also crumbly, as water is released during the aging process.

 

Tasty is softer, younger.

 

Jartisan cheeses are not sold in Makro.  Central Group outlets, eg Tops, GoWholesale, stock their varieties.
