shepsel Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 I was at Central Food Hall at Central Festival, Chiang Mai today, and there wasn't a turkey in the store. They are advertising prepared stuffed chickens 3kg for around 799 baht in their brochure. I guess I will have to check out Makro to see if there is a supply or not.

NickJ Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 There is a bit of clinical research that points to tryptophan being involved heavily in the bio cascade of inflamation. That being said I have not seen any Makro US Turkeys for a couple months. I know one restaurant owner who bought all they had at the Makro where I shop.Either 8 or 10 birds.

MyTHaiMyKe Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 $4,000 baht for a Turkey? That must be a 20 kilo turkey! A whole roasted pig is only 4,000! And you don't have to cook it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KittenKong Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 $4,000 baht for a Turkey? That must be a 20 kilo turkey! No, they didnt look very big at all to me. I've seen much bigger in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not at all sure what those numbers you are quoting are but they sure aint the prices. The Makro turkeys were upward of 6000 baht a go with some of the larger ones tagged at over 8000 baht. I can only imagine they will keep adding 500 baht to the half a dozen they restock the freezer with each day until people stop buying them.

arunsakda Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Japan selectively lifted bans 6 months ago. If Thailand still has them in place it is probably due to official incompetence or protectionism. The cull was massive. USA TODAY online had a vid recently advising shoppers to buy early as supermarkets can't fill their orders. Large birds are in short supply. http://uk.reuters.com/article/2015/08/28/us-health-birdflu-japan-idUKKCN0QX0GO20150828 http://www.usatoday.com/videos/news/nation/2015/11/06/75341934/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KittenKong Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Japan selectively lifted bans 6 months ago. If Thailand still has them in place it is probably due to official incompetence or protectionism. Thailand has no turkey producing industry to protect that I'm aware of, but it is the world's fourth biggest chicken exporter and tenth biggest producer. So I imagine that they are very worried about their live birds picking up any disease (notably bird flu) from anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arunsakda Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 (edited) Japan has a poultry industry and very cautious, quick to slap bans on foreign products.. I do not know if there is much scientific justification for bans of frozen or processed meat that has passed inspections as Bird Flu is passed by live birds. In this case starting late last year it was passed by wild birds. Japan lifted imports even on live birds 6 months ago, as long as not from the affected areas. Last week I had a chance to see a supermarket on Guam USA, which should be well stocked with frozen Turkeys this time of year. I counted 4 small and 2x24 pounders in a huge empty freezer case!

NanLaew Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Cheapest Butterball's so far were at Villa yesterday. There was four of the huge 6000 baht birds and about ten of the more reasonable 3500 baht ones yesterday morning. At 8 PM last night, the four big ones were still there but only three of the smaller ones were left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallGuyJohninBKK Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 (edited) I went turkey shopping at Central Chidlom in BKK today, and unlike last year, no sales promotions on turkey in the week before Thanksgiving, at least, not yet. The Central Chidlom market had just one full frozen turkey in the case, but 10 or so Butterball brand turkey breast items of various styles, prices varying between 899 and 1399 baht per kilo. Last year, I bought the same frozen breast on sale for 599b at the same market shortly before Thanksgiving. Meanwhile, my local Foodland store had no frozen turkey breasts and only ONE full frozen turkey, a 4 kg bird that they were asking about 1900b for.

TallGuyJohninBKK Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 (edited) Visited my local Villa Market in BKK today. No frozen turkey breasts at all. And just a couple full frozen turkeys priced at 699b per kilo, averaging out at 3000 to 4000b per bird.
