Lol. Practically all milk in Thailand derived from powder.

 

Valid question. Why is powdered milk so expensive.

 

 

Meiji is originally a Japanese brand. It's what most restaurants prefer , like Starbucks.  

It's not based on powder.   

 

Meiji Pasteurized 100% Fresh Cow’s Milk made from 100% fine quality milk to offer you the delicious, rich and creamy taste with rich natural nutrients such as protein, calcium and vitamin B2. 

Guarantee the quality as No.1 selling brand in the pasteurized milk market.

We are being told Thailand has deflation,  prices are supposedly sinking.

There was a period of a few months during the peak COVID disruption that pork and chicken were both high.  I wasn't in Thailand before COVID so I don't know how current prices on those compare to pre-COVID.

I've changed to using Dairy Rich milk powder from NZ.

Works out at around 50bht/2ltr and I can't really tell the difference.

Added bonus, I don't have to keep going to the shops for milk.

220bht for 1KG at YoK, I pour 620gm of water in a jug, and make up to 700gm with milk powder.

does it have added fortified vitamins? can you please check the back of the packaging for me

Thai people don't know what to do with it.  They can't bake.  They don't know what pastry is.  They don't know what bread is.  Their ice cream is mostly vegetables.  They blend coffee with ice and add condensed milk instead of milk.  They don't know what tea or coffee is.

 

Therefore it is just seen as a foreign delicacy.

What A Load of BS You Spout !!

I only buy basic ingredients.... pretty much zero processed foods so I have no idea in pricing of those.  The Thai noodles we order every other week did increase from 40฿ to 50฿ from Nov. '20 to this last week.
