For sale or for bringing your own loaf to slice?

I should have explained, I mean shops which have a bakery and produce artisan loaves, customer can buy whole uncut loaf or request it be sliced: thin, medium or wide width.

Isn't there a Big C in Chiangmai? Here they have good breads and a slicing machine

For folks who make their own bread at home, perhaps the shops which have a slicing machine will oblige. On the other hand there's both sophisticated and very simple tools (very cheap) for slicing at home on the market.

If not for private purposes it is easy to slice bread yourself with a proper bread slicing knife.

Makro in Hang Dong certainly has a slicing machine. At first I bought their sliced whole wheat loaves but then switched to unsliced because their slices were too thin for my liking. Since we shipped our entire household to Thailand we already have an excellent bread knife. Sometimes I have to ask the staff if they have any unsliced because none are on the shelves. I have no idea if they would custom slice one of their loaves for you.

Unrelated to topic.... I think their whole wheat bread is mediocre.... probably only 50% whole wheat flour.

The Dukes restaurant across the road from the Ping River will sell you the bread they bake themselves even if you are not dining in the restaurant.

They will slice as well.

Rimping Nim City has a slicing machine too.

WOW. Thanks for that, my Thai son just made a booking for his Thai wife's birthday early next week. Both my son* and his wife (and all their 4 kids) love good bread, so I'll explore what breads Dukes have on offer.

My nearly 3 year old Thai grandson son love half a slice of bread with cream cheese.

If I offer him f'h..... bead he says 'Boo, XX love ping bun'. (Boo= grandfather . XX = his nickname . ping = Rimping artisan loaf bread . bun = kamon bun-bread).

*Thai son grew up with artisan bread. His Thai mother was a dr. of medicine, studied her MBBS and 2 medical board specialist degrees in Australia. She lived with one Ozzie family the whole 12 years and developed quite a liking for some western foods. Back in Thailand she looked for good artisan bread and our son got small pieces of artisan bread from about 3.5 years old, and he developed a liking for good bread. His GF (his class buddy from Uni in Bkk) initially politely rejected all western foods but over a short time tried many western foods and loved them, including artisan breads. When they go to Rimping she goes straight to their artisan bread section and takes 1 or 2 loaves of their French Country artisan bread. Their nearly 3 years old Thai son helps with the shopping.

Back in the car he pulls the French Country bread bag open and breaks off one end of the loaf. If I'm there he looks at me with a big smile and says 'boo shus' (grandfather delicious).

Which Chiang Mai Big C do you mean.

Rimping, at their many supermarkets, has many farang customers who live full time in Chiang Mai and nearby. Not really on any tourist 'must visit' lists.

Which Chiang Mai Big C do you mean.

That is the question

Big C Extra has recently remodeled, and seems to be trying for something like, a cross between Makro & Rimping. Serious. That is the Big C Extra, Ring Road before Index, the old Carrefour. That was the food area. They were also changing, cutting a lot of their clothes areas also. No idea what they are doing there. OTOH - spent years shopping at the "old Big C", bread was nothing much as I recalll, I bought it as no other choice.

Funny Note  - Thai guys in my barbershop were discussing that store right after my visit. They were saying Big C was remodeled to be like Rimping, a “Dilad Farang”  not a Thai one. Had a chuckle about that.

I am a regular shopper at Rim Ping Supermarkets. I am neither Chinese nor a tourist. I have lived here for more than thirty-six years.

I was asking for solid advice but you missed the point.

Never mind the old bread knife and the bread frame will suffice.

You mean a bread knife ? Pretty easy to find and cheap.

I bake my own bread and slice it myself as needed. With a sharp knife even thin slicing is easy unless you want to do it on an industrial scale.
