golfbum Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 I've just been treated to some amazing bread from Conkey's Bakery in Bangkok, and it has reminded me of how hard it is to find good bread here in Phuket. Where do Thai Visa readers go to buy good bread? And I mean good bread, like you find in a farmer's market - see photos attached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopitiam Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 You can try the bread section in BigC in JungCeylon (Patong) or Flint Bakery on ChaoFa East Rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Display Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Buy one of them kitchen bread makers - not hard to made just put the ingredient in and press start - done in about an hour.

Popular Post hkt83100 Posted June 9, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted June 9, 2014 Mani's German Bakery in Kata comes to my mind. He also does custom recipe bread :-) His coriander seed bread is delicious! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Somtamnication Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Stay away from Bake across from Wat Chalong. Nice but super overpriced. I bought some French bread from Tops and it was excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RawaiPlaBoyz Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Big C Jungceylon is great! Has the same bakery set up at Carree Four. Far better than Big C bypass! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never did it but know someone that makes very tasty fresh bread with one of them. I had one a few years back in Australia where pre mixed ingredients are avaliable in all the supermarkets which make them easy to use After using it a few times it went into the cupboard never to re appear Like most people i prefer to buy my bread fresh from a bakery if you can find a decent one Big C Patong and the main tesco have good bakeries, have yet to find one in the Rawai area There is a bakery next to the Family restaurant by main tesco chalong that has good fresh french loaves in the afternoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Geen Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 The best bread is in the basement at central festival but you seem to have to wait until about 11:30am before they bring it out at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schlog Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Dark bread in wine connection in Central. Big C Extra in Patong. For incredible tasty baquttes or ciabatta you have to fly to Saigon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eezergood Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 breadmakers are total rubbish - read the list of ingredients on the back of the premix........ most decent hotels will sell you bread, just go into breakfast & ask Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 breadmakers are total rubbish - read the list of ingredients on the back of the premix........ Breadmaker is a handy tool which takes care of the manual labor work when making the bread. I did not even know there was a premix packages for breadmakers. I used (many years ago) normal ingredients from the grocery stores. Freshly baked bread in the morning. I might just try if the old machine still works.

andreww Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 we used to bake our own rye bread in Australia, as it is close to impossible (and very expensive) to have good fresh rye sourdough even in Sydney. In Phuket there is no need anymore. We used to buy dark (not really rye) bread from Festival and Wine Connection. Now there's some organic shop opened opposite Wine Connection @ CherngTalay, and they offer frozen or freshly baked very tasty bread, incl. rye, bagets, focaccias etc. A bit pricey though (100-150 bath per loaf), esp. if you consider how cheap baking ingredients are here (even in Villa Market.. but there's also a "baking stuff" shop in Phuket town), but if you dont have time to mix and knead, or suddenly ran out of bread, it's a good option.

LivinginKata Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 (edited) . The Bakery (good name ) two doors up from Tesco @ Park, Rawai. Just to be clear The Bakery is 2 doors down from Tesco Mall about 2 kms south of Chalong Circle, just before the Makro. I use the Bakery. Good bread at sensible prices.

Guest Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 start to finish ciabatta - 40 mins (excluding proofing time, where you drink your coffee) Too much work for a person who is known to use fire alarm as timer when boiling eggs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
