chenposeb Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Hi, Anyone know if we can get Amaranth seed here in Thailand? or better still a native variety. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amaranth I am currently in Nong Khai area, so anywhere near here or a mail order service would be great, thanks.

rice555 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Hello All, you might try one of the O-L OG food stores in BKK, they should EMS. rice555 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loong Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Amaranth covers a pretty wide spectrum. Seeds are available from Lion Seeds Chia Tai AFM Group as far as I know. You may try to contact them The decorative variety are very easy to root from cuttings and you can usually find a plant at one of the roadside plant centres. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chenposeb Posted January 15, 2015 Author Share Posted January 15, 2015 (edited) Thanks for the reply guys. Sorry for delay in answering, an Ice Truck drove into the internet cable for the village and it just got fixed rice555, do you know any with a website? BKK is a long way from here. loong, thanks for the suggestions, will try these. Most of the roadside places I go to though look at me as if Amaranth doesn't even exist on the planet. Same with the market guys in Nong Khai. This might be because there is a different name in Thai? It took me months to find anyone who knew what gypsum was, then we discovered a lot of the shops that had never heard of it, stocked it (yipsum) Edited January 15, 2015 by chenposeb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WitawatWatawit Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 (edited) I grow red leaf and very red amaranth in pots in my house. It's well suited to this climate and hardy enough to defy my worst efforts . From Chua Yong Seng Seed ,151 Asadang Road,, Wang Burapha Phirom, Phra Nakhon, Bangkok 10200. Not sure if there is a website - none that I can immediately see. But seeds are relatuvely easy to find around Pattaya/Jomtien places. If you strike out, PM me and I'll pick up some packets next time I'm out and send them to you. Edited January 15, 2015 by WitawatWatawit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
