Hi,

Anyone seen any marrow bones around town at all? i would like to get one for my dog (great dane) but can't seem to find any. We even asked in bangkok last week but they didnt even know what they were and just kept offering us the usual milk type bones which are hide and not bone!

Thanks for any info,

Villa market and Foodland in Bangkok have them. They usually have them cut 1.5 inches with meat for soup--sold as beef shank. You may be able to ask the butcher to cut you larger(longer ones). The meat is great for soup. They don't have just the marrow bone without the surrounding meat for sale like I used to get in the US for my dogs.

OK, thanks. Next time I go to bangkok I will try in foodland. dam_n, living here in Hua hin I miss foodland

Go to your local morning market. Most of the beef and pork vendors have them in their coolers, but you have to ask. Get them all off the time where I live.

i got 2 from tescos last week im not sure if it was pranburi or market village, i shop at both,marked down to 9baht each,gave them to my favourite soi dogs

If they have them at the Villa Market in BKK, then why not try the one in Hua Hin?

Jean Pierre the French butcher up Soi 88 on RHS sells them, Parking behind the shop. Soi 88 off Phetkasem Road. He also sells the best French Thai beef in town.

Falcon Makro sells proper pork shank bones. They are on the right hand side of the pork counter and are very cheap.

Excuse my ignorance Ableguy but what is French Thai beef ?

I'm not sure why it's called French Thai, or "Thai French" is actually the way I've heard it, but it's the best kind of local Thai grown beef. I know several restaurant owners (from frequenting their establishments) and most of the better restaurants have steaks in two varieties; imported and Thai French. I once tasted both an Australian fillet and a Thai French fillet together and the Thai French was more tender and had more flavor even though it was around 200 baht cheaper.. Maybe it is just the name of the company or is a joint venture between a Thai cattle company and a French company, but I don't know. I just know it's good quality local beef.

Thanks HHF. I have been past that b utcher shop but never been in. I will try it soon.

Any of the local butchers have them. They usually keep them in the cooler and give them to the vendors for theier soup stock. I get both pork and beef bones when I buy meat at the market, they're always free. Blood too if you're into making blood sausage or pudding.

The Frech butcher told me French cattle born and raised in Thailand, he has pictures of them in his shop.

Thanks for all the info guys, sorry for the delay with the thanks but have been busy.
