djeetyet Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Is there a shop where I can buy Basmati Rice in Pattaya? Do you know the price? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suradit69 Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 (edited) Can't you make do with Jasmine rice? Since Thailand is a major rice producer and exporter, I doubt they import much rice. There is (or was??) an Indian grocery next to the Sikh Temple. Maybe they would have some or know where it could be found. On the soi that runs parallel to South Pattaya Rd, behind the government school grounds. Edited May 20, 2016 by Suradit69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KittenKong Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Can't you make do with Jasmine rice? It's nowhere near the same (Basmati is much better). Fairly sure that I've seen it in Makro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djeetyet Posted May 23, 2016 Author Share Posted May 23, 2016 Anyone else seen this in Makro? Maybe at other Makro locations? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KittenKong Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Did you look at the big one on Sukumvit? Pretty sure I've seen big bags of it in the Indian/Foreign section, along with the papadums and lentils and such-like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brling Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Can't you make do with Jasmine rice? Why, "make do". Basmati is known as the worlds best rice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heina Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Basmati rice does absorb much more water then thai jasmine rice or regular rice. It is mandatory for such dishes as pilaf, biryani etc. Rice dishes which are cooked in broth. By the way you you can buy at the small shop at Suncity hotel` first floor.
