looking for specialty store, herbs and spices, bottled and bulk, pumpkin oil, ashwaganda, chia seeds, morings olifera, tumeric, etc... already been to macro they dont have these, thank you in advance

Good luck.....took me months to find sumac. You might have more luck with getting help if you say what you need them for. Just a thought.

I wasn't really impressed with that shop. And also not the Indian restaurant/shop on Thaphae.

This was when looking for Indian spices for cooking.

there's an indian lady in the warrot market that has a very decent selection.

i went down the street past the us consulate, and the street that parallels the river has been blocked to one way traffic, so i parked and walked down there and did not see this place you mentioned, was that the street you meant?

You can go to those Big Tesco Lotus or Top super market should find it there.

Kasem is the store referred to and it is at 19 Rachawong Road, Muang, Chiang Mai.

As well as Kaseem (who all speak excellent English and are good at ordering anything they don't have), there is a little Indian owned shop on the road that runs down the side of the market, past the US consulate and keep walking, same side if the roa,d called something initials, O & M maybe, something like that but when I finally managed to find it I was disappointed as it was very small and they didn't have anything not on the stall in Kad Luang - in the building opposite the 7-11, turn left at the first aisle or ask anybody for Bombay stall, they all know it. Makro has bulk turmeric but you might struggle with the rest.

If you can find a cafe or restaurant that might possibly use any of the things you need, ask where they get them from - I bring a lot of this kind of thing with me from back home, fortunately never had an accident with oils or other liquids packed in checked luggage.

Try iHerb online

They had every thing except the morings olifera. Not cheap

Makro has turmeric powder and Rim ping carries chia seeds. Have you tried the Indian spice shop inside Waroros market?

thanks everyone, got everything i was looking for except the pumpkin seed oil and ashwaganda, and i got it at the pharmacist at taipei next to wawee coffee. i have never been in kaseem's but i heard a lot of good things about it, will go there tomorrow. again thank you.
