Are there any real Butcher's in Pattaya?

[tomster]

I want to have a go at making Prosciutto Cotto and need a 3kg leg of pork that looks roughly like this:

 

 

I can't see anything like it at Makro and it's way to hectic in there to start trying to explain what I need.

 

Are there any places to buy such a thing in Pattaya? I can order in advance, not expecting to find that off the shelf, so to speak...

 

Thanks in advance.

Big C Extra on Pattaya Klang? If possible, maybe take a Thai speaker to help.

I hope these butchers are useful in your quest for Prosciutto Cotto ...

 

In Pattaya, I don't know, but in Bangkok have butchers who will have pork leg that size, and will send to you in Pattaya.

 

I frequently buy from -- and recommend -- the following butchers:

 - Sloanes

 - The Accidental Butcher

 - Paleo Robbie

 

5+ years of experience with each of those: all good.

 

Picture below is cooked, but all three above may have un-cooked, just must ask.

But be prepared, prices at those specialty butchers not the same as Makro.

Try the Muslim quarter, Pattaya Tai and Second Road area. It won't be Halal, but it should do the job.

I used to see a foreigner working in the meat/butcher section.

I'm confused. All supermarkets I've been in have a 'real butcher' counter?
