Maccheroncini Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 I'd like to grow sweet basil. I know the only place ' Royal project at Mae Rim'. Anyone could suggest other places around CM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve2UK Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 You can buy seeds from for many types of basil (and some other herbs) from many of the shops in the Khamtien plant market behind Tesco Lotus. Seeds also available from Tesco Lotus itself and Carrefour. Rimping also sell potted basils, mints, rosemary, oregano etc - stock varies from time to time. AFM is probably the best source for herb (as well as flower/vegetable) seeds.

T_Dog Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 We bought two types of basil at Khamtien at a shop in the far back, about as far away from Lotus as you can get in that area. (Same area where they sell multitudes of lotus water flowers.) They started out six inches tall and now both plants are four feet tall, harvested several times a week. Great to eat foods we definitely know are organic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maccheroncini Posted May 23, 2009 Author Share Posted May 23, 2009 Wow thankyou both so much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve2UK Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 (edited) Wow thankyou both so much Mai bpen rai krub...... BTW, I should mention that what's on the AFM website is not a comprehensive list. If you go to their offices out of town (on the left as you drive towards Mae Jo - huge "AFM" concrete letters on the lawn in front of their modern 5-storey building), you can look through the current list - including herbs. At least one of the female staff in their reception area speaks good English and is knowledgeable about their stock.

Maccheroncini Posted May 23, 2009 Author Share Posted May 23, 2009 Yes I know the AFM website gives me the impression that they only sell flowers! Now that you've mention it I sure will check this place out. Wow thankyou both so much Mai bpen rai krub...... BTW, I should mention that what's on the AFM website is not a comprehensive list.

I had this problem a month ago. It's discussed here http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/Buy-Seeds-an...-M-t251132.html They sell tons of herbs at the big market behind the north Lotus. There's a google earth marker attached to this post if you want to see the exact store I bought from on a map. However, I am new at gardening and mine are struggling to grow. Any suggestions???

mnbcm Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 You can get great dirt at the same market I mentioned before for 100baht for 4 bags. My basil lost all of its leaves and now it's coming back to life. I've got chili's going too and they've really taken off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
