A standard 6 kg bird was around 1000 Baht. The Central Food Hall and other places around town that used to stock them charged more, up to 250 Baht/kg. Now the price is apparently 475 Baht/kg, so a 6 kg bird will set you back 2850 Baht, or over sixty quid at today's exchange rate. I was back in the UK last month and my local Tesco had frozen turkeys around the 6kg mark on sale for £19, so it seems you'll pay an eye-watering 200%+ mark-up to get a turkey in Pattaya this year. Still, at least it seems you can get it if you're willing to pay for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that's what Pattaya is all about. I hear you can also get turkeys too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gk10002000 Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 (edited) Didn't I read a few years ago that the falang fellow who had the big turkey farm up country was pushed off his land, or had it confiscated or something like that? But I don't know if he supplied the frozen market also or if his place stayed in business. Edited November 8, 2016 by Rimmer Font size Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torrens54 Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 I saw an advert in Rimping (on the Ping River ) Thursday, here in CNX saying it was "Time To Order Turkeys." Wife was in a hurry so didn't follow up on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
