Would someone know where to get *paper* bags?

[Tercera_Edad]

Not a joke. It's a side effect of the local banana scene. Sometimes, bananas not only come green, but they stay that way, even after days. I keep reading that all that is needed is a bag to place them into, however it must be of paper. But who in Pattaya would sell their food stuff in paper bags? Not anyone known to me.

Villa send me stuff in real brown paper bags, and I always keep them for this reason.  Maybe they also sell them?

Also, plenty of options on Lazada I see.

Hm. If you have supplies, would you be willing to sell me some? In what part of Pattaya are you?

Makro has a bag area. I don't buy green bananas anymore as they don't always turn out well

I haven't been there for a coupl of years but the Makro on Sukhumvit heading from Pattaya to Satahip, on the right, always had an isle full of all sorts of bags. Might be worth a look.

Ok, thank you, will have a look. Yet I think someone who would specialise in selling cavendish bananas here, like the ones we're used to from western supermarkets, could become a millionaire - and possibly not only in THB

Madam uses newspaper.

 

She sometimes also adds calcium carbide (yes the stuff used in caving lamps), which gives off acetylene just from the dampness in the air which speeds ripening of most fruits if you need to hurry them along.

No part and I only keep the few I get deliveries in.  Lazada sell them, easy.

That sounds like an interesting alternative.

Duely noted, but I'm not prepared to suffer that much for a few bananas.
