I was hoping that some one would know where to buy packaged dry Pinto Beans, my daughter is in Phuket and coming home next week. She could bring some home with her. I know Dons foods used to sell them but I think he closed the Phuket store.

Thank you in advance for the information.

Cheers

Sorry, could not resists when somebody is seeking for Pinto beans voluntarily

I made this after an week in Isla Ometepe, Nicaragua.. where the breakfast was Gallo Pinto, lunch was Gallo Pinto and the dinner was.. well.. Gallo Pinto

I still hope you can find what you are looking for. We all have our own, sometimes funny, traditional foods.

Big cans of frijoles at Marko, but noting dry.

Yes, Don's has been closed for a few years now. But they do have small packages of dry pinto beans at Villa Market. They're a bit hard to find though. I think they are near some cleaning products, not near the canned beans.

Patong deli have them http://www.patongbeachthailand.com/Directory/Shopping/the-deli-supermarket-in-p.shtml

They are high in fiber.

villa market has loads of them

Thank you all very much for the answers, I will have her look at the Deli Market and Villas, again thank you for taking the time to answer and help.

Sin & Lee in Phuket Town may carry them , they use to carry so many items. A shame,people

forgot about many places that were the only spots for ex-pat foods at one time; but the advent of supermarkets have almost closed most places !

Villa and Tops supermarket may have them.

The pintos I buy in Thailand need soaking for longer than usual. A chef friend tells me add some baking soda to the soak.

i think the fact that there are 9 replys to a thread about pinto beans (including myself, twice!) points to the fact that there isn't that much interesting to talk about on TV anymore. and when threads do get interesting (or funny), we all know what happens to them.
