LucyLui Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I bought them in Villa at Xmas, they were very expensive but worth it. LL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
libya 115 Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 "Fine Words Butter No Parsnips" Wise words indeed and considering the number of 'meetings' reported on Pattaya One News; often held for hours on end, in air conditioned rooms, with refreshments and sharp pencils to hand, where well nourished Pattaya committee members discuss how infrastructure and crime can be 'tackled' in Pattaya.....Parsnips all of a sudden seem very relevent. Happy hunting......I have never seen any here in Pattaya. Do they sell tinned parsnips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul1970 Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I have seen and bought parsnips at various times from one of Foodland, Freindship or Villa but your luck has to be in as supplies are scarce and also expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuban Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Bewarned - I mentioned this thread to Somchai the seller of finest coriander, basil and ropy looking carrots in the market this morning. He gauged me with a calculated Thai smile then popped behind his counter and jumped back a few moments later with a carrot that appeared to have been painted cream/white. "...only 500 Baht a half kilo, good price for you!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sommaz Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 You can get to Huay Yai by heading south on Sukhumvit. Go past chaiyapreuk, then at the next set of lights, turn left. Follow the road for about 4 kms and you'll see the temple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
