Spaniel Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Well if you're not worried about the price check out Villa Market on Sukhumvit near soi 33. They have a big fresh meat section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steven100 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 also there's a new butcher shop opened up on the corner soi 29 & Sukhumvit called El toro ... I believe it's imported so it won't be cheap I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riorobc023 Posted September 29, 2015 Author Share Posted September 29, 2015 thanks everyone for their responses in this thread. Much appreciated! Will give the Thai-french butcher a go first and then try some others. i buy in bulk because i'll eat probably 6-8 lbs a week of steak due to my diet. Does anyone know what type of steak is usually sold at the markets here in bangkok though? I'm torn between round/chuck steak as they are probably the cheapest and about 25-27% of a cow each.

PassionDelivery Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Naturally I am biased (I am the co founder of PassionDelivery!) but you might be interested in our big range of steaks here... http://www.passiondelivery.com/collections/premium-imported-meat We have all different price ranges and grades including premium dry aged, Tasmanian Angus, Certified Angus from the US, Japanese Olive Wagyu and within the next 48 hours, Thai Wagyu which is available for the first time ever in Thailand exclusively at PassionDelivery (usually the whole quota is exported directly to Japan). Prices are up to 30% cheaper than leading supermarkets. We deliver nationwide too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thian Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 2 kg for 500 baht sounds too good to be true but you never know in thailand. Muslim markets also have a lot of beef. Beef got really expensive lately in the supermarkets. I wonder why. I prefer minced beef because it's easyier to eat instead of chewing gum. I like foodland but since the beef almost doubled in price within a year i don't care for their butcher anymore. Not that it's extreme expensive now but what happened? Why does it cost double now?

Beef is any meat from a cow or bull. 19% of US beef comes from dairy cows that are no longer decent for milk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
