TwinkleToes Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I'm after fresh raw Aloe Vera leaves - wan hang jo ra ke. Anyone know where to buy around Pattaya? I spend about 25% of my time in Pattaya (Naklua) and the rest in Saigon. In Vietnam you can buy the fresh Aloe Vera leaves in supermarkets and grocery stores. I know it grows abundantly in Thailand but never seen it for sale in the obvious places. Growing the plants on my balcony isn't really a practical option. Much appreciated if anyone here knows of a local source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwinkleToes Posted April 24, 2012 Author Share Posted April 24, 2012 Markland thanks. If you're in Pattaya I'll whizz round and save you the cost of a stamp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinnieTheKhwai Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I guess it's so abundantly available in people's gardens and use fairly low that it's not usually sold at markets.. Growing it on your balcony actually isn't a bad idea; it grows well in pots, likes plenty of sun, doesn't need a lot of water. If Markland can give you leaves he can probably separate a small plant for you to start too; just plant it in a pot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinkleToes Posted April 25, 2012 Author Share Posted April 25, 2012 Thanks but I only live in my apartment in Pattaya for two weeks in every two months so the plants would probably die when I'm away. Also my balcony isn't large enough - I consume about one large plant every week!! I'm an Aloe addict... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaidiver Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Used to get it the states, a great after-shave or sunburn remedy. Would also love to get some locally bottled Aloe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LennyW Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 You get Aloe drink in the can from 7/11, a bit more solid than juice but very good on these hot days. Also known as the medicine plant, excellent for burns!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
