Limes

[sometime]

Can anyone explain why limes are so expensive 6 or 7 baht each for a tiny one, went for a full week and none on the stalls or in the supermarkets in Pattaya.

Seasonal change perhaps, I have noticed over the years periodic shortages.One can always pay 30Baht for a nice big yellow lemon at Friendship!

We started to grow our own a few months back. My wife was refusing to buy them for the Tom Yam.

I always thought they were dirt Cheap. Must be out of season. Come to think of it , there's a Tree in the garden thats got some limes just forming. So out of season , atleast up here.

30 BAHT FOR A LEMON, THAT'S ALMOST A POUND STERLING, I DON'T THINK SO, I DON'T HAVE A MONEY TREE :D

You have been here too long! The OP was asking about "Limes". The real ones, with green skins. Ever put a Lemon in a Corona? Nuff said.
