I read that pinto beans were to be food at, Villa, Tops, Makro, etc. I went to several stores yesterday and didn't find anything.

Since I'm asking about pinto's, I thought I'd throw in the tomatillo question.

Anybody know were they are in Bkk/Nonthaburi?

Many thanks!

I buy out the pinto beans from Tops when I see them. Have not seen any for a month. Ask a thai about the tomatillos. Thai markets have them.

Hello All, I buy McGarrett Brand dry pinto beans at The Mall

here in Korat, have you tried one of The Malls in BKK?

Saw McGarrett pinto beans in Villa at Paseo Town (Ramkhamhaeng) yesterday.

If you don't min readymade, Korat Marco(#1) has frozen bags of Mex beans.

Haven't tried them and forgot to get the price,but should have in BKK??

Bags are 1Kg.

Really? Not that I've seen.

I have seen them in Rayong. Google tomatillos thailand images.....show the pics

to a Thai person. They will find them for you.

Those frozen beans from Makro are about 200b and there refried beans made from red beans and the have oil in them. I didnt think they were great when I tried them. So easy to make them.

Which market in Rayong please? Are the tomatillos green or orange (ripe)? I'd *love* to have a source of tomatillos in Thailand. My local market has none--I've tried the picture thing extensively.

Thanks for the info. I hadn't tried their refried beans yet. Now I won't.

My Gf is going on a vacation to see her sister so when she gets back I will have her get some more of them.......I would say it was the big Star Market as she goes there alot.......Yeah those beans are a no go.

What I miss are the Queens Project jalapenos....they were fantastic and fairly cheap. I smoked them and pickled them. Have not seen them for a long time.

The other products El Charro makes are great. esp the frozen corn tortillas pre cut for chips. the little vacum pack pile makes a bunch of chips....

The masa is useless for tortillas in its current form. It's ok for tamales though.

I'm still experimenting.
