juice777 Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Hi Dose anyone know if that honey in Sam song bottles you can buy on the street is 100% real or mixed with other stuff? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giddyup Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 My partner says that it's rubbish, probably at least 50% sugar water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaniel Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 (edited) If you want to try a really great honey produced here then get a bottle of honey from Jim Thompson farm. We buy ours from the Jim Thomson outlet outside the main gate at Khao Yai NP. You can check their website for other sales locations: www.jimthompsonfarm.com Price is B90 per bottle.

JingerBen Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Just because it is in recycled bottles doesn't mean it is necessarily bad - although much of it is. Up north some of the best honey I've ever tasted came from villages where they collected wild honey and bottled it themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brit_Doggie Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Agreement with Jinger have had many a bottle of honey good quality or the bees knees 1 could say also enjoy drinking the contents of sam song bottles equally as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n210mp Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Maybe someone can tell us how to do a check on whether it is the real thing or just bolstered up honey with tons of sugary syrup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgs2001uk Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 ^^^^^, watched this very thing the other day. Guys rocks up on a motorcycle, has a beehive in a plastic bag. Has a sieve and a load of empty one litre whisky bottles. Going rate in Bkk is 250 baht per bottle. Anyway to answer your question, I watched as a local pulled out a match, dipped it in the honey and then lit the match. He explained to me, if it was water, the match wouldnt have lit. I dont know the veracity of his explanation, just what I witnesed, but the locals bought the lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickJ Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Ants wont go for real pure honey unless sugar has been added to it. Honey should not be gritty either as the grit is added sugar. dump a little out and let it sit then feel for grit.....Just because a jar states100%real honey doesnt mean that its not got anything added.

KittenKong Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 If I see Thai honey coming out of the hive I will believe it is pure. Otherwise it's surely been messed about with. Even the local honey sold in supermarkets is dubious as far as I'm concerned. Trust no one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
