Its a steep price to pay but seems fairly typical of Tops. Try Macro,,,,they do NZ Gala apples as well. You'll never get them as cheap as back in NZ but I suppose that goes without saying!

I think it is price gauging. My wife paid 15 baht at the market by the US Counsel.

I think I pay 79 bath at Rimping or something

15b for 6 green apples ?

No, he didn't get 6 NZ apples for 15 Baht. In fact 15 THB won't get you 6 apples from China!

We would pay 60 thb per kilo for Granny Smith in Arizona. http://specials.sprouts.com/Shop/WeeklyAd.aspx Check out all our other stuff that Tops sells for at least double.

Remember that fruit etc from Oz, NZ etc is not subsidised by their governments, so there's no built-in discount, nor export incentives.

Certainly any fruit or veg seems to be a lot cheaper at Makro, and no doubt the local markets.

How does this relate to Chiang Mai?

People eat apples in Chiang Mai.

The poster bought the apples in Chiang Mai.

He is asking if the price is high or low for and in Chiang Mai

.....and when he is finished eating the apples the processed remains will no doubt be left in Chiang Mai.

Now what was your question again????

2 Kilo bag of excellent apples at Makro: 79 baht.

(Not sure it was two kilos, I can check. Was a lot more than 6 though.)

I would have thought that buying ALL your fruit and veges at the various markets around town would make more sense.Not only are they usually fresher but the overheads,rent, and associated costs ,including refrigeration, of a supermarket obviously go onto the end price.

The man is talking about Arizona USA. Please read it again if you missed it.

That's almost $5 sgd for 6 apples ...I think you know they are expensive even compared to Singapore :-)

But there are various buying options ...I normally get mine at Makro as suggested ..

I get green apples from USA at Rimping for much less than that. They are usually tasty with a nice crisp texture.

10 medium size Granny Smith apples at Makro today: 105 baht. Weight (for those who want to be pedantic) 1.48 kilos. Expensive by most standards, but three or four weeks ago they were 125 for the same pack.

However, milk at Makro today up from 75 baht last Friday to 89 baht (Foremost, whole milk, 2L). All brands up a very significant amount but the staff couldn't give us a reason for this jump of close on 20%.
